Exam 3 Flashcards
This remains the number one cause of death
Trauma
These fractures can result in blood loss up to 125 mL
rib fractures
This is the most common cause of death from a lightning strike
cardiopulmonary arrest
This is considered to be the best way to monitor safe ventilation rates for severe head injury patients
waveform capnography
Maintaining a SBP of 80-100 mmHg is party of this type of resuscitation
damage control resuscitation
This fracture should be splinted as found with no attempts made to correct angular deficiency
fracture as knee
This is the result of hyperventilation in severe TBI patients
cerebral vasoconstriction and reduced cerebral perfusion
These are the three types of inhalation injuries
asphyxiation, Supraglottic, and Infraglottic
These influence the extent of a burn injury
intensity, duration, and tissue conductance
This is the most common cause of colon injuries
penetrating trauma
Force and acceleration
factors determining the extent of injury
This is considered to be the normal adult ICP range
3-15 mmHG
5 to 20 cm H2O
A patient with a GCS at or below this level has an increased risk for aspiration and hypoventilation
GCS 8 or less
These are common entry points for electrical current
hand and head/skull
This is the most common type of force applied
compression
Narrowed pulse pressure, JVD, and muffled heart tones
Beck’s Triad
Spontaneous abortion can occur with burns of this percentage or higher
60%
This nerve allows a person to touch their thumb to their pinky
median nerve
These are the two types of force delivered by penetrating
crushing and stretching
Most common cause of immediate death from falls and MVAs
Aortic disruption
A balloon is placed in the aorta to control hemorrhage and augment after load in traumatic arrest and hemorrhagic shock states
REBOA
A patient with a head injury from a call with a GCS of 10 would be classified with this severity level
Moderate
This is recommended EtCO2 range for patients with severe TBI and increased ICP
35-40
These splints are used to reduce a fracture
traction splints
Severe violence often results in these fractures
impacted and compression
This is one of the most problematic interpretations in electrocardiography due to the diffuse J-point in the right precordial leads in V1 and V3, downward concavity of the complexes in V4 and V5 with an asymmetric T-wave, and flat or downward lay depressed strain pattern in V5 and V5
LVH with strain
This is the litter/seat configuration for a UH-60A
6 litter, 7 ambulatory, or a 3 / 4 combo
These are signs of moderate respiratory distress
anxiety, restlessness, decreased breath sounds, intercostal retractions
This is an immediate intervention used for patients with postpartum hemorrhage
Fundal Massage
This age group has the highest incidence of TBIs
25 years and younger
This is the proper technique to sanction the newborn
mouth then the nares with a bulb syringe
These congenital defects cause left to right shunting
Acyanotic defects
These are signs of intestinal obstruction in an infant
distention, bilious vomiting, feeding intolerance, no stool in 24 hours
Extreme pain with passive movement
Compartment Syndrome
Special operations rescue teams have at least one member trained to this level
Paramedic
This course provides training to joint services, coalition forces, and the DoD
Joint Enroute Care Course
These 4 defects are necessary to diagnose Tetralogy of Fallot
Aortic Displacement, Ventricular Septal Defect, Right Ventricular Hypertrophy: Pulmonary Stenosis
Stretcher straps can be placed over the abdomen to hold fetal heart transducers in place
FALSE
This is the typical maximum patient hold capability for a Role 2 Facility
72 hours
This is the most common cause of RDS in preterm infants
lack of surfactant
2-3 mL/kg D10 with ongoing D5-D20 to maintain euglycemia
Emergent treatment for pediatric hypoglycemia
Alcohol consumption releases this hormone
Adrenaline
This can occur when a pregnant patient is placed supine on a backboard with resulting hypotension and tachycardia
Inferior Vena Cava Syndrome
This occurs when a pregnant patient experiences maternal blood loss
blood shunting away from the uterus
Initial IV resuscitation for a hypovolemic neonate
10 mL/kg NS for 5-10 minutes
This is the number of critical incidents stress management components
7
Intervention to relieve fetal distress
Mom in left lateral recumbent, placing on NRB, administering Terbutaline
The P.A.S.S. Mnemonic
Pediatric Asthma Severity Score
Where role 1 begins
Point of Injury
When your newborn has an SpO2 of 84% at the 5 minute mark you should do this
continue to monitor
