Final Flashcards
patient is unconscious, no trauma suspected
how do you open and adult airway?
child?
Infant?
adult: head tilt, chin lift
Child: head tilt, chin lift
Infant: head neutral
what do you do to open the airway if there is suspected trauma?
no head tilt
modify jaw thrust
all cells require constant supply of energy
oxygen and glucose
person loses consciousness but quickly regains consciousness by position
psychogenic shock
temp d/t emotions
anaphylactic shock includes
allergic rxn rapid onset airway swells, cant breath hives bronchial tree constricts
S/S anaphylactic shock
HR increases to circulate O2 as fast as possible
facial swelling
compensate for blood loss heart will
increase rate
shock d/t hemorrhage
occurs when blood escape closed circulatory system and pressure drops
MCC shock
hemorrhage
what is the “best” kind of shock
psychogenic
earliest MC symptom shock
nausea
lay shock pt down and raise legs does what
pools blood to visceral organs
elevate head and shoulders to
cause blood to go to extremities and reduce cranial pressure
standar protocal for sick person
give O2
what does an epi pen do?
bronchiodilate and vasoconstrict
diabetes type 1
insulin dependant
diabetes type 2
insulin resistant
best way to control external hemorrhage
targeted direct pressure
elevate extremity
percent of breech births happen without a problem
85%
what is physiological rest
stop motion
immobilize area
air splint (jet or pneumatic)
direct pressure to control swelling
no glucose but cells need energy they use
fat
use of fat as energy is
ketosis
acid shift of pH of blood is
ketoacidosis= bad
HCO3 IV stat
1st degree burn
skin is red
2nd degree burn
skin is red and blistering
3rd degree burn
skin is charred to adipose or bone
hurts the least b.c killed Nerves
oxygen is given to
reverse hypoxia
CPR break rib what do you do
stop CPR assess hand position and continue
what goes on wound
dressing
what holds dressing on
bandage
MC shock caused by subluxation
neurogenic
what is AED used for
ventricular fibrulation
what to give O2
shock
respiratory distress
profusely hemorrhaging mother during childbirth
palpate uterus and massage to constrict vessels
treat for shock and give O2
blood spirt
artery
blood steady flow
venous
blood ooze
capilary
special organ of pregnancy
placenta
length of 1st birth
12-15 hrs
eye trauma do what
apply occlusive dressing
chemical burn on eye
irrigate 15-20 minutes
BSA of burns
rule of 9’s
adult rule of 9
head 0 arm 9 ea leg 18 chest 9 abdomen 9 back 18
child rule of 9
head 18 front torso 18 back 18 ea arm 9 ea leg 14
loss of consciousness grade 1
conscious, confused
loss of consciousness grade 2
unconscious, respond to moderate stimuli
loss of consciousness grade 3
unconscious, respond to pain
loss of consciousness grade 4
unconscious, unresponsive, coma
primary survey
scene is safe for responder, seek out all major conditions (life threat) deal with conditions in ABCs airway breathing circulations loss consciousness, severe hemorrhage
second survey
find conditions that are not life threatening
head to toe exam
