Neuro Bingo - Call List

(Print) Use this randomly generated list as your call list when playing the game. There is no need to say the BINGO column name. Place some kind of mark (like an X, a checkmark, a dot, tally mark, etc) on each cell as you announce it, to keep track. You can also cut out each item, place them in a bag and pull words from the bag.

  1. causes: 6 B’s, Bladder, Bowel, Back passage (rectal), Boils (skin damage), Bones (fx), Babies (pregnancy) in spinal cord injury patients
    Autonomic Dysreflexia
  2. smaller movement used to get away from noxious stimulus
    Withdrawal
  3. uses a catheter placed in the femoral or radial artery to the cerebral circulation. Complications: cerebral embolus, hemorrhage, vasospasm, thrombosis or allergy
    Cerebral angiography
  4. used in initial evaluation of brain injuries, fast
    CT scan
  5. often declines before any other neurological change
    Level of consciousness
  6. majority are from clots in the artery that travel from heart
    Ischemic CVA
  7. drowsy, awakens when shook
    Lethargic
  8. area around infarcted or dead brain tissue that is still viable but hypoperfused
    Penumbra
  9. evaluates blood vessels in the head and neck with magnetic resonance imaging
    MRA
  10. used to detect and localize abnormal brain activity
    EEG
  11. made of glucose and protein
    CSF
  12. no response or reflexes, may have posturing
    Comatose
  13. pH imbalance that causes cerebrovascular constriction
    Alkalosis
  14. monitors intracranial pressure, patient must be positioned with transducer aligned with tragus
    ICP monitoring
  15. symptoms: neuro changes, photophobia, stiff neck, nausea, vomiting “worst headache of my life”
    Subarachnoid Hemorrhage
  16. used to reduce intracranial pressure
    Mannitol
  17. purposeful and intentional movement intended to eliminate a noxious stimulus
    Localization
  18. must be used within 3 hours of symptoms onset (ischemic CVA) or 4.5 hours with certain criteria
    Fibrinolytics
  19. purposeful movements when stimulated
    Semi-comatose
  20. must be done within 6 hours of symptoms onset (ischemic CVA) or 24 hours with certain criteria
    Thrombectomy
  21. used to assess level of consciousness
    Glasgow Coma Scale

    Hypertension
  23. evaluates CSF WBC, protein, glucose, pressure, blood, and cultures
    Lumbar Puncture
  24. pH imbalance that causes cerebrovascular dilation
    Acidosis
  25. risk of death and disability are higher than ischemic stroke or SAH, common cause: chronic HTN, acceleration-deceleration injury
    Intracerebral Hemorrhage
  26. easily awakens with voice, touch, or pain

  27. used to decrease PaCO2 and cause cerebral vasoconstriction
    Hyperventilation
  28. very difficult to arouse, may need airway protection
    Stuporous
  29. medication used for seizure management
    Dilantin
