Traumatic aneurysm put somebody through the mill?
I have read on this webpage :
http://cks.library.nhs.uk/patient_information_leaflet/aneurysm#
that an aneurysm can be caused by an injury to an artery and they give the example of a vehicle crash.
If this situation can produce an aneurysm then what about damage to an artery surrounded by an arm after having blood pressure taken and the cuff is either at too high a pressure for the individual and/or the length of time the cuff is on is excessive ?
Answers:
Thank you for bringing this website to my attention. I have emailed the author, suggesting to him that the likelihood of an aneurysm contained by the chest being directly caused by a car crash is much one and the same as the likelihood of a hen having teeth. What happens surrounded by a car crash is that the aorta (near the back of the chest) is thrown forwards and torn off the roots of the spinal arteries which hold it surrounded by place, at which point you bleed to death. If this does not occur there is no other machinery to cause a serious disruption of the wall of the aorta which could later result in an aneurysm.
In any suitcase, the forces on the wall of the arm artery while measuring the blood pressure are tiny by comparison with the forces exerted on the body in a motor crash. It is not widely known in the general public that within orthopaedic surgery a cuff, similar to a blood pressure cuff, is routinely inflated above the arterial pressure for over an hour during the surgery.
