Q

Fx of:

  • EAC
  • TM
  • Malleus, Incus, Stapes
  • Cochlea
A
  • acts as conduit of sound waves
  • changes sound waves into mechanical movement.
  • conducts sound to the oval window
  • sends pressure changes therefore endo/perilymph fluid moves along the cochlea stimulating cilia.

Q

How does air get warmed during ventilation

A

Your face is very vascular, to include the inside of the oro/nasopharynx. Also the vessels are superficial to allow quicker warming of the air.

Q

6 parts to a hx

A
  1. isolate the CC
  2. get dive hx/profile (DDTRRS)
  3. Predisposition of casulty
  4. progression of sx’s
  5. previoius hx of same sx’s
  6. pertinent past/present Med hx
24
Q
  1. Isolate the problem (2)
A
  • c/ OPQRST
  • ask and numbness, decreased sensation, paraesthesia, hyperesthesia, or weakness

*go back 72hrs, DCS can be insidious.

25
2. Dive Hx DDTRRS
``` D - dive buddy, if so check him out too. D - depth T - time *chart all dives c/in last 12hrs R - rig R - repet dives last 72 hrs ``` *any altitude exposure, dangerous marine life, anything abnormal about the dive?
26
3. Predisposition of the casualty - before - descent - bottom - ascent - surface
- any environmental exposure, dehydration, fatigue, etc... - barotrauma, vertigo, hypoxia, O2 hit, etc... - any CO2 tox, N2 narcosis, trauma, thermal issues, hypoxia, or HPNS - any POIS, ABV, contaminated gas, hypoxia, O2 Tox - DCS, AGE, IEB
27
4. Progression of sx's (3)
- static - progressive then relapsing - spontaneous improvement (common with hypoxia or CO2 tox)
28
5. PMH (2)
- any hx of same sx's (dive or non dive related) | - SAMPLE
29
5 rights
``` Rt Patient drug/medication dose route time * EXP, document, and that Pt has the rt to refuse tx ```
30
Previous hx of AGE or DCS means ___ mimics an AGE
PMH increases susceptibility for another incident. Requires minimum 1 month of No Dive after a TT or up to 6 months NPQ dive CVA
31
when performing neuro exams; act as if your Pt is deaf, dumb, and blind. Don't demonstrate everything, assess them to apply commands
Just good info
32
Neuro Exams: - most diving casualties have ___ mental status - AMS is more likely to be seen c/ ___ or ___.
- normal | - AGE or Aviation bends
33
Mental Status (6)
- A&Ox3 - Short term memory - Long term memory - reasoning - alphabet - arithmatic * 3 word recall, reassess better, worse, or same
34
Coordination Exam (7)
- walk normally - heel-toe-walk - finger-to-nose - finger-to-finger - Rhombergs - Heel-shin-slide - rapid movement * 3 word recall, reassess better, worse, or the same.

37
CN I (4)
- olfactory epithelium is @ the roof of the nasal cavity - provides sense of smell - not visually tested - test one nostril at a time
38
CN II
Fx's in recognition of light and shade and the perception of objects.
39
CN III (2)
- Somatic motor controls precise eye movement | - Visceral motor controls pupillary light and accommodation reflexes.
40
CN IV
- controls superior oblique muscle | - directs depression, inversion, and adduction.
41
CN VI
- controls lateral rectus muscle | - allows abduction
42

43
CN V
- innervates the forehead and face. | - innervates the tensor tympani
44
CN VII
- Controls facial muscles, scalp, forehead, eyelids, expressions, cheeks and jaw. - check for symmetry in nasolabial folds.
45
CN VIII
controls hearing and balance
46
CN IX
- sensory from the upper mouth to the throat | - allows gag reflex and constriction of the pharyngeal wall c/ saying "Ahh"
47
CN X
- controls roof of mouth | - controls vocal cords
48
Hoarseness in voice suggest ____. | Nasal voice suggest ____.
- Paralysis of voice box - Paralysis of palate *also consider POIS's (Subcutaneous emphysema)
49
CN XI
- turns head side to side | - shoulder shrugs
50
Weakness/absence of shoulder shrug or head turn suggest nerve injury to the ___ side.
- affected
51
CN XII
- controls Pt's tongue | - deficient response would cause the tongue to twist to the affected side.
52
Sensory Exam (5)
- torso - back - arms, hands, fingers - junk and trunk - legs and feet
53
Strength Exam 0-5
0 - paralysis 1 - profound weakness; flicker or trace movements 2 - severe weakness; cannot move against gravity 3 - moderate weakness; can overcome gravity 4 - mild weakness; resist slight force 5 - normal; equal bilateral strength
54
DTR's 0-4
``` 0 - none 1 - hypoactive 2 - normal 3 - hyperactive 4 - clonus ```
55
Clonus
rapid spastic movement
56
Point of interest: - brain - spinal cord
Brain: - DCS - confusion, drowsiness, fatigue - AGE - CVA c/ focal hemispheric or brain stem sx's. Seizure, aphasia, hemiparesis, and CV arrest. * MAY HAVE COMBO OF BOTH. Spinal: - Pt can't urinate - dermatomal sx's * RARE c/ DIVING
57
Aphasia Hemiparesis Hemiplagia
- lack of emotion - lack of sensation - paralysis to one side of the body.
