Module 6 Flashcards
Level 1,2,3,4 trauma
1,trauma,pediatric,neurology
2.do not do vascular surgery but same as lvl1
3.prompt assessment,cpr if patient get worse transfer to 1or2
4 advanced life support before transfer to lvl 1or2
Index of suspicion
Awareness. That unseen, life-threatening injuries may exist when determining the MOI
Kinetic energy
The energy of a moving object
Potential energy
The product of mass, gravity and height, which is converted into kinetic energy
Work
The measure of force over distance
Cavitation
Speed causes a bullet to generate pressure
Weight in speed play a factor by
A bullet to cause damage is more a function of a speed of the mass of a bullet is double the energy that is available to cause injury is double velocity of a bullet is double injury is quadrupled
There’s three stages to a motor vehicle accident
Car to object
body to interior of the car
and organs to solid body 
Bleeding control
Apply gauze bleeding continue stack, gauze until bleeding is controlled if amputated apply tourniquet Never remove tourniquet places second tourniquet proximal to the injury
To open the airway of a spinal injury, jaw thrust
The person who is at the head holding C-spine, is the person in charge of longboard movements
The only time you say remover, c-collar is when you get to the hospital in a physician examines the patient
First-degree burn is superficial
Second-degree burn is epidural partial of the skin
Third-degree burn is Dura under the skin to the bone
Define degloving
A degloving injury is when your skin pills
What do capillaries do
Link arterioles and venules
the bones of the skull in face
The face has six bones
The nasal bone,1/3rd is bone
ZayGoma 2 check bone
Maxible2(upper jaw)
Mandible1(jaw
The heart maintains blood flow in the body
Capillary versus dark red and ooze slowly
Venous bleeding is darker
(pour o2)than arterial, bleeding, and flow steadily
Arterial, bleeding, bright red in spurts
Hematoma
blood that collect in in the soft tissues beneath the skin
Contusion a bruise from an injury that causes bleeding beneath the skin without break in this game
Concussion s/s
The spinal column has 33 bones divided into five sections
Cervical 7
Thoracic 12
Lumbar 5
Sacral 5
Coccyx4
most easily is palpable seventh cervical vertebrae
Connected by ligaments and disk

small, rounded fleshy bulge immediately anterior to the
Ear canal
Thermal burns caused by heat
Flame
scald
Contact
Steam

991(treatment)
Rubber is called insulator
Adams apple
Formed by Thyroid cartilage in upper part of larynx
Cricoid cartilage
Firm ridge of cartilage rings of the trachea
The trachea connects oropharynx and larynx
The eye
Front field with aqueous humor
Back field with vitreous
Sclera is the white of the
Globe (eyeball)back called retina
Iris gives the eye color lens sit behind iris
Pupils center of iris
Cornea clear so light can enter
Optic nerve respond to light
The brain and spinal cord makes up the CNS
Cerebellum controls balance and body movement
Cerebrum conscious dived into 2 and splits into 4lobes
CNS the( brainstem) every day life
Automatic nervous system (involuntary
Somatic (voluntary)
Depressed skull fracture baseball bat
Basilar skull fracture mvc
Concussion
Temporary loss of consciousness
A functional change
Amnesia(loss of memory)
Retrograde leading up to
Antergrade after
Head injury symptoms
Dizziness
Weakness
Visual change or mood
Contusion (bruise) more serious then concussion
Bleeding swelling from blood vessels
Blood loss 12pints (6L)
Cannot tolerate more than 2pints loss
Boys contain (70L)
Female contain(65L)
1yr old 27oz After 3-6 s/s
Increases hr and respiratory rate
Decrease bp
A healthy adult can Donate 1pint(500ml) in 15-20mins
Perfusion
Circulation of blood within the organ tissue to meet cells current needs
O2 and nutrients and waste
Brain(4-6)cardio
Lungs(15-20)CNS
Kidney damage after(45mins)respiratory
Skeletal muscle after( 2-3hrs)
Femur thigh bone
Hematoma
Bleeding in the brain
Fall
Blunt trauma
Fall more then 20ft
Internal organs
Legs pelvic spinal injury
Height of fall
Surface
Part of body that hit first
Air bags inflate quick
Can cause death to an infant or seriously injured
Under 4’9 ride in the back
If airbag has not deployed be carful while extracting patient
Pulmonary blast symptoms
Contusion hemorrhage short rang exposed of explosion 💥
Tightness or pain n chest
cough up blood
tachypnea
Respiratory distress
Subcutaneous emphysema
Pneumothorax
You need to asses the inside of the vehicle so you
To see what all the patient has hit on the inside of the car and know what injuries do he have
Multi system trauma treatment
Provide rapid transport
Treat bleeding (tourniquet)
Sample
On scene 10mins
Abdominal bleeding signs and symptoms
Extracting someone from a car the only time we use a short backboard
Skin has 2 layers
epidermis-tough(germinal new layer of skin pigment forms deeper skin
dermis inner skin (hair and sweat) nerve endings
