1. Suture with least adhesiveness to tissues and maximum plasticity is?

a) nylon
b) prolene
c) polyglactine
d) polydioxanone

ANSWER b

PROLENE Sutures (clear or pigmented) are non-absorbable, sterile surgical
sutures composed of an isotactic crystalline steroisomer of polypropylene, a
synthetic linear polyolefin.
The suture is dyed blue to enhance visibility and do not adhere to tissue and are
therefore efficacious as a pull-out suture.

2. What is the most common cause of pulmonary embolism?

a) MI
b) thrombophlebitis
c) blunt trauma
d) burns

ANSWER b

Thrombophlebitis is a condition that causes a blood clot to form and block one or more veins, often in the legs. In superficial thrombophlebitis, the vein is near the surface of the skin.

Blood clot in the lungs (pulmonary embolism). If part of a deep vein clot becomes dislodged, it can travel to your lungs, where it can block an artery (embolism) and become potentially life-threatening.

This is especially important if you have pain in your chest or shortness of breath either at the same time or shortly after any clot-related symptoms.

This can be a symptom of pulmonary embolism, which is a life-threatening medical emergency.

3. Immediate management of open pneumothorax is?

a) No treatment
b) 3 sided occlusive dressing
c) Emergency needle decompression
d) Direct closure

ANSWER b

An open pneumothorax occurs when air accumulates between the chest wall and the lung as the result of an open chest wound or other physical defect. The larger the opening, the greater the degree of lung collapse and difficulty of breathing.

Immediate management of open pneumothorax is to cover the wound with a rectangular sterile occlusive dressing that is closed securely with tape on only 3 sides. Thus, the dressing prevents atmospheric air from entering the chest wall during inspiration but allows any intrapleural air out during expiration.
