1. Skin is cool, moist and clammy 2. Pupils are dilated 3. Body temperature normal or high 4. Victim is sweating profusely
29
What are some indications of Heat Stroke?
1. Victim is unable to eliminate excessive body heat buildup 2. Hot and/or dry skin 3. Uneven pupil dilation 4. Weak rapid pulse
30
How many types of Cold Weather Injuries are there?
There are 3 types of cold weather injuries
31
What are the types of Cold Weather Injuries?
1. Hypothermia 2. Superficial Frostbite 3. Deep Frostbite
32
What is Hypothermia?
Hypothermia is a general cooling of the whole body caused by exposure to low or rapidly falling termperature, cold moisture, snow or ice.
33
What are some indications of Hypothermia?
* Victim may apper pale or unconscious * May seem dead * Breathing is slow and shallow * Pulse is faint or even undetectable * Body tissues feel semi rigid * Arms and legs may feel stiff
34
What is superficial frostbite?
When ice crystals are forming in the upper skin layers after exposure to temperatures 32ºF or lower.
35
What is deep frostbite?
When ice crystals are forming in the deeper tissues after exposure to temperatures 32ºF or lower.
36
What is Shock?
Life-threatening medical condition where the body suffers from insufficient blood flow as a result of a serious illness or injury
37
. How many types of Shock are there?
There are 5 types of shock.
38
What are the types of Shock?
1. Cardiogenic 2. Anaphylactic 3. Septic 4. Hypovolemic 5. Neurogenic
39
What is Septic Shock?
Bacteria multiplying in the blood and releasing toxins Common causes include: * pneumonia * intra-abdonminal infections (ruptured appendix) * meningitis
40
What is Anaphylactic shock?
Severe hypersensitivity or allergic reaction Causes: Allergies to insect stings,Medicines, and Foods
41
What is Cardiogenic Shock?
Heart is damaged and unable to supply sufficient blood to the body Can be the end result of a heart attack or congestive heart failures
42
What is Hypovolemic Shock?
Severe blood and fluid loss usually caused by traumatic bodily injury
43
What is Neurogenic Shock?
Spinal cord injury
44
What does CPR stand for?
CPR stands for Cardiopulmonary Resuscitation
45
What is CPR?
Combination of rescue breathing and chest compressions delivered to victims thought to be in cardiac arrest.
46
What can CPR do when cardiac arrest occurs?
CPR can support a small amount of blood flow to the heart/brain to "buy time" until normal heart function is restored
47
What are the steps for CPR?
The steps for CPR are C/A/B * Circulation * Airway * Breathing
48
Why were the steps for CPR changed from A/B/C?
Due to the recognition of the importance chest compressions have on successful victim resuscitation.
49
How many steps of the survival chain are there?
There are six steps to the survival chain.
50
What are the steps of the survival chain?
1. Recognition/Activation of CPR 2. Chest compressions 3. AED/Defibrillator 4. Rapid Defibrillation 5. Effective advanced life support (EMT's, Ambulance) 6. Integrated Post-Cardiac Arrest Care
