A cavity formed by pressure wave resulting from the kinetic energy of a bullet traveling through the body tissue; all so called: pathway expansion
Cavitation
The way energy is transferred to the human body the forces acting upon it.
Dissipation of energy
The factors that slow a projectile
Drag
the energy contained by an object in mototion. Kinetic energy equals mass(weight in pounds), times the velocity(feet pre second) squared, didvided by two
Kinetic Energy
The branch of the mechanics dealing with the motiond of materials bodies.
Kinetics
The Science of analyzing mechanism of injury
Kinetis of Trauma
The Factors and forces that cause traumatic injury
Mechanism of injury(MOI)
The size and shape of a Bullet's point of impact; the greater the point of impactthe greater the injury.
Profile
The path of a projsctile during its travel; a trajectory may be flat or curved
Trajectory
The insufficient suppy of oxygen and other nutrients to some of the body's cells that result from inadequate circlation of the blood.
Shock(hypoperfuion)
A standard parameter for emergency care because studies have shown that severly injured patients has the best chance for survival if surgical interventon tskes place within 1 hour from time of injury.
The Golden Hour
The maximum time the EMS team should devote to on-scene activity
Platinum 10 Minutes
The pressure wave of the blast
Primary Phase(Pressure wave)
Flying debris propelled by the force of the blast, or blast wind.
Seconary Phase(Blast wave)
The patient is thrown away from the source of the blast.
Tertiary Phase(Victim Diplacement)
