Question

Paramedics arrive on the scene of a high school baseball game. The pitcher, after being struck in the left temple with a line drive, was knocked unconscious. Now the paramedics note the player to be sitting up on the mound and talking. What is the best interpretation of these assessment findings?

Answer 1

EDH : Epidural Hematoma

Step-by-step explanation:

- After being hit by the baseball, the player was knocked out and was left consciousness and then back to conscious ( alertness i.e sitting up on the mound and talking) symptoms mostly relate to EDH : Epidural Hematoma.

- The paramedics should expect a blackout and unconsciousness soon after the contradicting behaviour of player.
