true
the person making the emergency phone call must provide what information
- emergency situation
- type of suspected injury
- present condition of the athlete
- current assistance given
- exact location of emergency
- any limitations in the building
- make sure keys to gates or padlocks are available
who has the final say on how the patient is to be transported (the AT or EMS)
the EMS
who recertificated in CPR and AED for the professional rescuer
American Red Cross or the American Heart Association
studies comparing the efficacy of using these various devices suggest that which device is the best
anvil pruner
what position would you lay a victim who is breathing
on their left side in the recovery position
where on the body are the pads place to use an AED
the right apex and left base of the chest
what happens if you use an AED and the pulse does not resume after one shock
perform CPR for two minutes and then deliver another shock. if the pulse resumes place the victim into the recovery position on their left side. if it does not resume continue CPR at 30 compression to 2 breaths
how do you open the airway if no cervical neck injury is suspected
head-tilt/chin lift method
how do you open the airway if cervical neck injury is suspected
the modified jaw thrust technique
how is the length of the oropharyngeal(OPA) measured
by the distance from the corner of the mouth to the same side of the ear lobe
what side of the nose is a nasopharyneal passed through
the right side of the nose into the posterior pharynx
how is the length of the tube for nasopharyneal measured
measuring the distance from the nostril to the same side earlobe
how is the OPA inserted into the mouth
with the curved end up then rotate tip down as it reaches the back of the throat
what happens if the airway is obstructed
re-position the victims head and try again to ventilate. if the airway is still obstructed give 30 chest compression then look for an object in the mouth
what is needed to be done if the victim is breathing but there is no pulse
give one ventilation every5 seconds in an adult and one breath for every 3 seconds for a child or infant
how high of oxygen percentage can be delivered and at what rate should it be
90 percent and 10 to 15 liters per minute
what is needed to be done for a choke conscious victim
lean them forward, supporting their chest and give five back blows between the scapula and then give five chest thrust inward and upward
how is venous, arterial, and capillary blood described
Venous is dark red with continous flow
Capillary reddish
Arterial spurts and bright red
how can you reduce external hemorrhaging
elevation with direct pressure
what are the two most commonly used pressure points
brachial artery and femoral artery
what are the conditions that can result in shock
extreme fatigue
extreme exposure to heat or cold
extreme dehydration if fluids or mineral
illness
shock from trauma in which there is blood loss
hypovolemic shock
shock occurs when the lungs are unable to supply enough oxygen to circulating blood
respiratory shock
shock caused by general dilation of blood vessels within the cardiovascular system
neurogenic
happens when severe illness such as diabetes does untreated
metabolic shock
what is the management for shock
maintain body temperature, elevate feet and legs to 8-12 inches
what are the signs and symptoms of shock
BP low systolic pressure below 90 pulse rapid and weak drowsy respriation shallow and rapid skin pale, cool, clammy
what does AVPU stand for
alert
verbal
pain
unresponsive
what is tachypnea, bradypnea, dyspnea,apnea
tachypnea- rapid breathing
bradypnea-slow breathing
dyspnea- diffiuclt breathing
apnea-temporary cessation of breathing
what does a rapid and strong pulse mean
may mean a heatstroke or scared
what does strong but slow pulse indicate
skull fracture
what is the normal breathing rate per minute
12-20 breaths in adults and 15 to 30 in children
what does a yellowish or jaunadice color indicate
liver disease or dysfunction
to roll an athlete with suspected C-spine injury how people is needed
5
which is safer method to transport a patient a scoop stretcher or spine board
spine board
how is crutch fitting done
place the tip 6 inches from the outer margin of the shoe and 2 inches from the front of the shoe, the underarm brace is positioned 1 inch below the anterior fold of the axilla, adjust the hand to be flexed at 30 degrees
how is cane fitting done
measure from the wrist to the floor with the patient wearing shoes
how does a patient use a cane
place the cane on uninjured side and use a 3-point gait
how does CPR start and stop
- begin with 100 compression per minute
- 30 compressions (2 inch deep)
- give two breaths
- after five cycles or 2 minutes with no response use an AED
- Administer one shock and then continue 30 to 2 breaths until EMS comes
