Question 3 of 10

3. Question

What are the three theories for the development of renal failure after crush injury?

II. Hyperkalemia, myoglobinuria, and anuric manifestations leading to crushing injury
III. Iron molecule of the moiety in combination with free radial formation injury.

What are the causes of respiratory distress in patients with a diaphragmatic hernia?
I. Herniation of abdominal organs compresses the thoracic viscera and causes pulmonary atelectasis.
II. Pulmonary contusions and other concurrent injuries result in hypoxemia
III. Loss of functional lung capacity may result from atelectasis and pleural effusion
