Module 1 Flashcards
Arm IV location
Antecubital fossa (enti kYOO be dl fo sa)
Cephalic (dorsal) / basilic (medial) veins
Counter indications for AC IV
- Infection/tissue damage
- proximal IV infiltration
- thrombosis
- fistula
- recent surgery
- Conula no longer in vein
- Fluid spilling outside of vein
- Extravasation
- Infiltration
Pulling fluids where they don’t exist (like when checking conulation)
Aspiration / to aspirate
Not sterile but clean of pathogens
Aseptic
IO access full name
Intraosseous (intra O si es, also O-C-S)
IO locations
- Humoral head/Proximal humorous = greater tubercle (TU ber kl)
- Proximal tibial / tibial tuberosity (TU be ra si ti). Distal tibial for peds
Contraindications for EZ-IO Access
- Fracture
- Previous orthopedic procedures near
- Infection at the site
- Inability to locate landmarks/ excessive tissue
The inability to feel pain
Analgesia (anal ji zi ya)
Analgesic (anal ji zik) = takes away pain
Adrenergic receoptors
- Alpha 1 - vasoconstriction
- Beta 1 - increase heart rate, contraction force, myocardial conduction
- Beta 2 - Bronchodilation
Continuously measure and adjust the drug dosage
Titrate (tai trate)
A molecule or ion that binds to a receptor to send signals between cells.
Ligand (LI gend)
Most significant modulator of plasma oncotic pressure and transport ligands
Albumin
Water and plasma proteins pressure
Osmotic pressure (osmosis) = water
Oncotic pressure = plasma proteins, notably albumin, that causes a pull on fluid back into the capillary
Moving solutes - potassium, magnesium, organic phosphates, and protein (albumin) from higher concentration to lower.
Diffusion
