1. What are the basic types of injuries in trauma?
1. Blunt Force Trauma: This includes injuries caused by an object

striking the body, often leading to bruises, lacerations, fractures, or
internal injuries.
2. Penetrating Trauma: This involves injuries where an object pierces

the skin and enters the body, potentially damaging internal organs.
3. Burn Injury: These are injuries caused by heat, chemicals,

electricity, or radiation.
4. Crushing Injury: This happens when a great force or pressure is

applied to the body, or a part of it.
5. Blast Injury: Occur from explosions and can cause a combination of

blunt and penetrating trauma, as well as burns.
6. Asphyxiation: Caused by lack of oxygen to the brain, often due to

choking, strangulation, drowning, or chemicals.
2. What are the types of physical injuries and there recovery period?
1. Sprains and Strains: Injuries to ligaments or muscles, often from

overuse or sudden twisting motion. Mild cases may heal within 1-2
weeks, while more severe cases could take several weeks to a few
months.
2. Fractures: Broken bones. A simple fracture can take around 6-8

weeks to heal, but more complex fractures may require months to a
year for full recovery.
3. Cuts and Abrasions: Recovery usually depends on the severity.

Smaller cuts may heal within a week, while deeper ones could take
several weeks.
4. Burns: First-degree burns can heal in 5-7 days. Second-degree burns

may take 2-3 weeks or longer. Third-degree burns often require
extensive medical intervention and may take months or years to heal,
depending on severity.
5. Concussions: A type of brain injury. Recovery can range from a few

days for mild concussions to several months or even longer for more
severe cases.
6. Soft Tissue Injuries (like bruises, contusions): Usually heal within 1-

2 weeks.
7. Ligament Tears: Depending on the severity, these can take

anywhere from a few weeks to several months to heal. Surgery may
be required.
3. What is trauma?
Trauma, in medical terms, is a serious injury or shock to the body. It's
typically the result of a violent event or severe accident and can
involve any part of the body.
There are different types of trauma, including physical emotional

trauma (which affects the mind or emotional state following
distressing events), and sexual trauma (involving forced or non-
consented sexual acts).
In essence, trauma represents severe harm done to the body or mind

that poses immediate, or potential, threats to a person's health or
life.
4. What are the types of wounds?

1. Abrasions: These are surface wounds, usually caused by friction
against a rough surface. Common examples are scrapes and grazes.
2. Lacerations: These are deep cuts or tears in the skin, often caused
by accidents with sharp objects like knives, tools or machinery.
3. Incisions: These are clean cuts made by a sharp edge, often surgical
in nature. They bleed quite freely and heal clean compared with other
wounds.
4. Punctures: These are typically small but deep holes caused by an

object piercing the skin, such as a nail or a needle.
5. Avulsions: This type includes severe wounds where a chunk of

tissue is completely torn away from the body.
6. Contusions: Also known as bruises, are caused by blunt force

trauma that damages tissue under the skin.
5. What are the different types of fractures?
1. Simple (Closed): The bone is broken, but the skin is intact.

2. Compound (Open): The bone breaks through the skin. There's a
higher risk of infection in this type.
3. Greenstick: The bone cracks but doesn't break all the way through -
common in children, whose bones are softer and more flexible.
4. Comminuted: The bone is broken into several pieces.
5. Transverse: The fracture line is perpendicular to the shaft of the

bone.
6. Oblique: The fracture has an angled line across the shaft of the
bone.
7. Spiral: The fracture spirals around the bone; often the result of a
twisting force.
8. Impacted: The ends of the broken bone are driven into each other.
9. Compression: The bone is crushed, causing the broken bone to be

wider or flatter in appearance.
10. Stress: A tiny crack in the bone caused by overuse or repetitive

motion.
