Q

recognise difference angina and heart attack

A

Differences in Symptoms: While both conditions can cause chest discomfort, angina is usually triggered by physical exertion and relieved by rest or medication. In contrast, heart attack pain is more intense, can occur at rest, and will not improve with rest or angina medication.

A

Move casualty to a quit place and explain that they are hyperventilating

112

66
Q

define “unconsciousness”

A

an interruption in the normal activity of the brain

67
Q

Recognise signs and symptoms of adrenaline
5x

A
  • diverts blood away from skin and stomach
  • diverts blood towards the heart, lungs and brain
  • increases the heart rate
  • increases the strength of the heartbeat and blood pressure
  • opens the air passages on the lungs
68
Q

Circulation:
6x life-threatening conditions

A
  • heart attack
  • heart failure
  • severe bleeding
  • poisoning
  • anaphylaxis
  • cardial arrest
69
Q

if the body detects low oxygen, what will he do?

A

Released the emergency hormone ADRENALINE

70
Q

whats in the air that we breath?
in / out

A

breath in:
Oxygen O2 21%
carbon dioxide CO2 0.04%
nitrogen 79% (Stickstoff)
water vapour

breath out:
Oxygen O2 16%
carbon dioxide CO2 4%
nitrogen 79% (Stickstoff)
water vapour: saturated

71
