Crazy As Last Minute Stuff Flashcards
Early Mobilisation Algorithms
Category C if the patient is
In prolonged bedrest / deconditioned
Early Mobilisation Algorithms
Category A if the patient is
Unconscious
Early Mobilisation Algorithms
Category B if the patient is
Awake and Physiologically Stable
For a category c; a deconditioned; patient we should prescribe
exercise
Approach to TBI management is recommended of a multidisciplinary team which can include
Neurointensivists, neurosurgeons, bedside nurses and respiratory therapists plus other randoms
INSPIRATORY MUSCLE TRAINING EVIDENCE by a systematic review by Moodie, Julie and Elkins
Significant improvement in strength but NO significant differences in likelihood of weaning, duration of ventilation and survival
What did evidence find for passive movements in early mobilisation
Found passive movements had 35% higher specific forces in comparison with the unloaded leg -> supporting the importance of early physical activity in deeply sedated ventilated ICU patients
WTF is minute volume?
Tidal Volume X RR
So for ventilators, tidal volume is usually what
8-12 mls / kg
So for ICP risk patients we can keep ____ movements
passive
WTF is PEARL
Pupils Equal and Reactive to Light
[asses reflexes/cranial nerves, looking at dilation / their reaction to light]
So when theres minimal displacement / highly fragmented bones, it can be managed with traction for like
6 weeks
Gotta do dem outcome measures for trauma patients
Functional Independence Measure
Berg Balance Scale
So with a type c pelvic fracture, they can be
unilaterally vertically unstable
bilaterally vertically unstable
or
associated with an ace tabular fracture
Force being transmitted through the femur as knees hit the DASHBOARD is likely to result in what fracture
Posterior Column Acetabular Fracture
