EMR Flashcards
What is the neurological assessment
A alcohol apnea anaphylaxis E epilepsy environmental I insulin O overdose U underdose T trauma I infection. P psychiatric or poisoning S stroke or shock
Name the valves in the heart
Mitral is between the left atrium and left vertical
Tricuspid is between the right atrium and ventrical
What is the route the blood flows through the heart
From the body to the superior vena cava to the right atrium to the pulmonary artery to the Longs to the pulmonary vein to the left atrium to the right ventricle to the aorta to the body
What is an infarct
Localized area of necrosis in a tissue vessel or organ resulting in an interruption of blood supply
What is necroses
Death of cells or tissue
What is myocardium
Myo means muscle Cardium means
What are the 7 different types of shock
Cardiogenic pump problems
septic toxins within the tissues anaphylactic tone problems psychogenic reaction
hypovolemic volume
metabolic an imbalance and obstructive
Orphayngral airway OPA
Keep the tongue from the airway
is easy for suctioning
can only be used on unconscious patients with no gag reflex
there must be an absence of eyelash Flicker
to measure go from corner of the mouth to earlobe
Nasopharyngeal airway
Can be used on a conscious patient who can’t maintain an airway
can be used on patiences with a gag reflex
not to be used on patients with possible skull fractures or facial trauma or prone to nosebleeds
Measure from corner of nose to Tragus of the ear lobe
Level of consciousness
A V P U
A alert
V verbal responds to voice
P pain responses to pain
U unresponsive
Hypoxia
Low levels of oxygen in the body’s tissues
Signs and symptoms are nervousness irritability track the cardiac heart rate over 100 beats p per minute
Mental status change use of excessive muscles for breathing
Blood pressure is measured by?
Measured in millimeters of Mercury and then HG’s
Mm/hg
Systolic
Measures force extruded again it’s the arteries as the left ventricle contracts at the end of the cycle
Diastolic
Minimum pressure in the arteries at the beginning of the cardiac cycle when the ventricles are filled with blood
Components of blood
55% plasma
45% red blood cells or eryrocyte
1% white blood or leukocytosis
1% are platelets used for clotting
Venturi mask
24 to 50% oxygen flow rate depending on collard insert able to deliver precise amount of oxygen used on COPD patients
BVM mask
South refilling valve allows inflow of 15 L per minutes delivers over 90% oxygen
Nasal cannula
24 to 40% oxygen a flow rate of 1 to 6 L per minute contraindicated with severe hypoxia apnea is well tolerated by a mouth breather and severe distress
Non-rebreather mask
Up to 90 to 95% oxygen flow rate 10 to 15 L per minute fits firmly on face
Cardiovascular definitions of bradycardia and tachycardia
Bradycardia is a heart rate that is slower than 60 bpm
Tachycardia is a heart rate faster than 100 bpm
Pulse
The pressure wave caused when the left ventricle contracts found when an artery overlies a bone
Places to find a pulse
Carotid right neck brachial superior arm Radial laderal wrist popliteal anterior knee dorsal pedis posterior foot from big toe posterior tibialis inside ankle
Name the body cavities
Dorsal
Central
What does the dorsal cavity do
Protects the nervous system cranial skull and vertebral spine
What does the central cavity intale
More anterior and larger has the thoracic which is the ribs and chest muscles has the Lungs the mediastinum And the esophagus and the trachea
The abdominopelvic has the intestine lines spleen liver bladder and reproductive organs
What are the three types of strokes
Hemiparesis weakness on one side of the body
Hemiplegia on one side of the body congenital since birth
Congestive heart failure what are the signs and symptoms on the left side
The lungs will crackle there is no jugular vein distention there is no peripheral edema and the cause is myocardial infarction
Congestive heart failure what are the signs on the right side of the heart
The lungs are clear there is jugular vein distention there is likely to have peripheral edema and the cause is chronic pulmonary disorder or hypertension
What are the parts of the Glasgow coma scale
Whaen are they crital or in coma
Eye-opening verbal motor response
Under 12 risk or serious injury
Under 8 critical coma
In regards to the Glasgow coma scale eye-opening is what
Four spontaneous
three equals open to speech
Two equals open to pain
one equals no eye-opening
In regards to the Glasgow coma scale what is verbal
5 alert and orientated 4 confused and coherent 3 inappropriate and jumbled 2 in comprehensible 1 no sounds
In regards to the Glasgow coma scale what is motor response
6 obeys commands fully 5 localizes to noxious stimulus 4 with drawls from Noxious. stimulants 3. Abnormal flexion 2 extensor response 1 no response
