Lesson 5 Flashcards
shock
bleeding is most common cause
state of collapse/failure of cardiovascular system
how much blood in heart in 1 min
5L
T/F weight x 70 is blood volume
T
females are x 65
stroke volume
volume outputted in 1 beat
preload
amount of blood returning to right atrium
after load
pressure have to overcome to pump blood out
cardiac output
blood pumped out in a minute L/min
HRxSV
increased venous return
stretches ventricles
increases contractility
what’s more important airway or bleeding
airway
blood in lungs
picks up O2
dumps waste
blood in peripheral tissues
unloads O2 and picks up waste
blood 3 necessary components
heart
blood/body fluids
blood vessels
plasma
water and dissolved substances
more than half of the total blood volume
perfusion
circulation of blood within an organ or tissue
ANS role with blood
redirects blood to heart, brain, lungs and kidneys during emergencies
how long can the brain go without perfusion
kidneys?
skeletal muscles?
4-6 minutes
45 minutes
2 hours
hemorrhage means
bleeding
external hemorrhage
bleeding from vessels usually due to a break in the skin extent or severity not always serious most of the time can be managed with pressure use a tourniquet
internal hemorrhage
result of trauma
non trauma causes include GI bleeding, aneurysms or ectopic pregnancies
what to look for with internal hemorrhages
patient complaints of pain or tenderness, pallor, tachycardia
shock
what type of transport for internal hemorrhage patients
RAPID patients will usually need surgery
how long does it take for arterial bleeds to form a clot
5 minutes roughly
male blood volume
70ml/kg
female blood volume
65ml/kg
