A

All patients receiving IPPV w/cardiac output

All neonate patients w/IPPV

27
Q

PEEP Precautions

A

Hypotension
Elevated ICP
Right ventricular failure
Tension Pneumothorax

28
Q

PEEP Contrainidcations

A

Cardiac Arrest: no pulse to PEEP, excluding neonates

29
Q

Assembling, connecting and changing IV infusion line indications

A

This method is indicated when intravenous fluid is required as per the CPGs, including the dilution and administration of medications

30
Q

Pelvic Binder Indications

A

SAUTe

S Suspected pelvic fracture

A An awake patient complaining of pain to pelvic area including lower back, groin or hips

U Unconscious or altered conscious state patient with significant mechanism

T Traumatic arrest, a pelvic splint should be applied as a priority if the mechanism is suggestive

31
Q

Pelvic Binder Precautions

A

Should be appropriately sized for the patient. Smaller paediatrics may require sheet/towel/pillow-case as a pelvic wrap

Consider the two sizes (small/large)

A traction splint should not be applied until after the pelvis has been stabilised

32
Q

Pelvic Binder Contraindications

A

Impaled object preventing application

33
Q

Formable Split Indications

A

Fracture of:
- radius / ulner
- humerus
- lower leg / knee
- ankle injury

34
Q

Formable Splint Precautions

A

Consider the use of traction splint for leg fracture if not contraindicated

35
Q

Formable Splint Contrainidcations

A

NIL

36
Q

SGA Indications

A

U Unconscious patient w/o gag reflex
B Ineffective ventilations w/BVM and basic airway mx
Unable to intubate
>10 minutes assisted ventilations required

37
Q

SGA Precautions

A

S Inability to perform Sniffing position
A pt who requires high Airway pressures
T Paed pt who may have enlarged Tonsils
A Vomit in Airway

38
Q

BVM Indications

A

Apnoea

Inadequate ventilation

39
Q

BVM Precautions

A

NIL

40
Q

BVM Contraindication

A

NIL

41
Q

Measuring an OPA

A

Angle of the jaw to the incisor

42
Q

Measuring an NPA

A

Corner of nose to earlobe

43
Q

CT6 Indications

A
  • middle third femur fracture, including compound
  • upper two thirds tibia fractures, including compound
44
Q

CT6 contraindications

A

Knee or ankle/foot trauma: may increase pain and worsen injuries

45
Q

CT6 Precautions

A

Pelvic trauma: Pelvic splinting is a higher clinical priority than splinting of limb factures. Traction splints may apply pressure on the pelvis in order to achieve traction, potentially worsening an injury. Legs should be realigned as part of open book fracture management. Splinting can still be used in pelvic trauma/fracture though anatomical splinting may be better depending on pelvic injury and severity.

Realign long bone fractures in as close to normal position as possible.

Open fractures with exposed bone should be irrigated with a sterile isotonic solution prior to realignment and
splinting.

46
Q

PILSDUCT

A

Signs of a fracture
