One active component of SYMBICORT (budesonide and formoterol fumarate dihydrate) is budesonide, a corticosteroid designated chemically as (RS)-11Î², 16Î±, 17,21-Tetrahydroxypregna-1,4-diene-3,20-dione cyclic 16,17-acetal with butyraldehyde.

Blunt trauma is a kind of trauma that usually results from being hit by something dull and firm (like a car, a fist, or the ground). It is also called blunt force trauma. This is different from penetrating trauma where an object, such as a bullet enters the body. Common types of blunt force trauma include: 1  Being in a car accident (this is the most common cause of blunt force trauma) 2  Being hit by another person with a fist or with something that is not sharp, like a bat.  Falling and hitting the ground (like falling down the stairs)
External injury. This can be caused by blunt or penetrating trauma to the cervical or thoracic regions. This may result in a tracheal tear, or if it is complete, tracheal avulsion/rupture/transection. The number of blunt trauma cases resulting in tracheal injury is small in dogs and cats. Because most blunt trauma is inflicted laterally on animals, the trachea is not crushed against the spine and can move with the impact.
