At least once a year
Who has the final say in transporting an injured athlete?
EMT
What is included in the primary survey (on-the-field assessment)?
Level of consciousness Airway Breathing Circulation Severe bleeding Shock
What’s the ratio of chest compressions:breaths
30:1
Who and when passed that we needed to use Barriers for mouth to mouth to decrease chance of transmitting blood borne pathogens?
OSHA (Occupational Safety and Health Administration
1992
What percent oxygen is in normal air?
21%
Describe the three types of bleeding.
Venous: dark red with steady flow
Capillary: reddish color
Arterial: bright red and spurting
What are the main types of shock?
Hypovolemic-decreased blood loss
Respiratory- lungs unable to supply enough oxygen to circulating blood
Neurogenic- caused by General dilation of blood vessels within the cardiovascular system
Psychogenic- temporary dilation of blood vessels that reduces the normal amount of blood in brain (fainting)
Cardiogenic- inability of heart to pump enough blood to body
Septic- occurs from severe infections
Anaphylactic- allergies
Metabolic- when severe illness goes untreated
Page 323
What are signs of shock?
Low BP systolic pressure is usually below 90 mmHg Rapid and weak pulse Patient drowsy and appear sluggish Shallow, rapid respiration Skin pale, cool, and clammy
Page 323
What are the 3 primary vital signs?
Pulse
Respiration
Blood pressure
What are the normal levels for the vital signs?
Pulse: 60-100/min adult
80-100/min children
Respiration: 12-20 breaths/min adult
15-30 for children
Blood pressure: 120/80
What’s the name given to the sounds heard while taking BP?
Korotkoff sounds
What’s the normal progression of feeling with cold application?
Cold, burning, aching, complete numbness
Age 328
Define etiology.
Cause of disease
Ex. MOI
What is sequela?
Condition resulting from disease or injury
What are the 3 types of direct transmutation for an infectious disease?
Contact between body surfaces (touching, sex)
Droplet spread
Fecal-oral spread
Page 374
What are indirect contact transmission?
Water, food, towels, clothing, and eating utensils
Through vectors (insects, birds, or animals)
Page 374
What are ways a pathogen can inter the body?
Skin
Respiratory system
Digestive system
Reproductive system
What are the stages of pathogen infection?
Incubation stage- time when pathogen enters and multiplies to the point where signs/symptoms begin
Prodromal stage-person is able to transfer disease to another. Continued multiplication
Acute stage-disease reaches greatest development and spread is highest. Body resists further damage from pathogen
Decline stage-first signs of recovery appear
Recovery stage-apparent recovery achieved. Patient susceptible to other pathogens
T/F: hand washing is the single most important practice for preventing the spread of infectious dieseases
True
T/F: A virus contains both DNA and RNA
False. It contains one or the other. Depends on host for metabolic and reproductive requirements. Person gets sick because it redirects cellular activity to create more viruses.
