Anatomy/Conditions Flashcards
Lung Lobes
2 left lobes
3 right lobes
Flail Chest
3 or more fractures ribs in 2 or more places on 1 side. 3-2-1 rule.
Place bulky dressing and tape around border
Movies in opposite direction of cheat when breathing
Normal Rate Of Breathing
12-20 breaths per minute.
If breathing is under 10/min, use bag-valve mask to speed up breathing. Ventilate each inhale and between them.
If breathing is between 10-30, use non-rebreather mask.
If breathing is above 30/min, use bag-valve mask to slow down breathing. Ventilate every second inhale.
NRB: 10-15L/m
BVM: 15L/m
Body Cavities
Cranial- holds brain
Spinal- holds spinal cord
Thoracic- holds heart and lungs
Abdominal- holds intestines, stomach, liver, etc
Pelvic- holds bladder, reproductive organs
Vitals
Blood Pressure: 120/80 Body Temperature: 36.5-37.5°c Blood Glucose Level: 4-8 is great Respiration: 12-20/min Pulse: 60-100 bpm SPO2: 95%+ Pupils: equal and reactive to light LOC: Alert, Verbal, Pain, Unresponsive SCC: colour, temp
Shock
Signs and Symptoms:
- anxiety/confusion
- weakness
- nausea/vomiting
- PCC (pale, cool, clammy)
- thirsty
- rapid breathing
- tired
Blood goes to core, vessels in extremities constrict. Can cause hypoxia.
When Checking Respiration and Pulse
Look for rate, rhythm, and quality.
Nervous System
Central Nervous System: brain and spinal cord
Peripheral:
Autonomic- sympathetic and parasympathetic
Somatic- sensory and motor
Segments Of Spinal Column
Cervical- 7 vertebrae Thoracic- 12 vertebrae Lumbar- 5 vertebrae Sacral- 5 vertebrae Coccyx- 4 vertebrae
33 vertebrae in total
Muscles
650 in our body
3 Types: skeletal, smooth, and cardiac.
Skeletal: makes all deliberate movement possible
Smooth: lines vessels and hollow organs
Cardiac: involuntary muscles that keep the heart beating
