Q
  • When obstructed individual cannot breath, speak, or cough and may become cyanotic…__ ___ can be used to clear the airway
A

heimlich maneuver

22
Q
  • Stand behind athlete with one fist against the body and other over top just below the xiphoid process
  • Provide forceful thrusts to abdomen (up and in) until obstruction is clear
A

heimlich maneuver

23
Q

___ finger should be inserted in mouth along cheek, using hook maneuver, pull across to free impediment, and attempt to ventilate after each sweep until athelete is breathing

A

index

24
Q
  • Device that evaluates heart rhythms of victims experiencing cardiac arrest
  • Electrodes are placed at the left apex and right base of chest - when turned on, machine indicates if and when defibrillation necessary
    Maintenance is minimal for unit
A

using an automatic external defibrillator (AED)

25
Q
  • Venous - dark red with continuous flow
  • Capillary - exudes from tissue and is reddish
  • Arterial - flows in spurts and is bright red
A

hemorrhage types

26
Q
  • Direct pressure
    • Firm pressure (hand and sterile gauze) placed directly over site of injury against the bone
  • Elevation
    • Reduces hydrostatic pressure and facilitates venous and lymphatic drainage - slows bleeding
A

external bleeding

27
Q

Eleven points on either side of body where direct pressure is applied to slow bleeding

A

pressure points

28
Q
  • Can occur beneath skin (bruise) or contusion, intramuscularly or in joint with little danger
  • Bleeding within body cavity could result in life and death situation
  • Difficult to detect and must be hospitalized for treatment
  • Could lead to shock if not treated accordingly
A

internal hemorrhage

29
Q
  • Generally occurs with severe bleeding, fracture, or internal injuries
  • Result of decrease in blood available in circulatory system
  • Movement of blood cells slows, decreasing oxygen transport to the body
A

shock

30
Q
  • Moist, pale, cold, clammy skin
  • Weak rapid pulse, increasing shallow respiration decreased blood pressure
  • Urinary retention and fecal incontinence
  • Irritability or excitement, and potentially thirst
A

signs and symptoms of shock

31
Q
  • Maintain core body temperature
  • Elevate feet and legs 8-12” above heart (positioning may need to be modified due to injury)
  • Keep athlete calm as psychological factors could lead to or compound reaction to life threatening condition
A

management for shock

32
Q
  • Primary goal is to limit swelling and extent of hemorrhaging
  • If controlled initially, rehabilitation time will be greatly reduced
  • Control via RICE

REST
ICE
COMPRESSION
ELEVATION

A

immediate treatment

33
Q
  • Stresses and strains must be removed following injury as healing begins immediately
  • Days of rest differ according to extent of injury
A

[rest] in immediate treatment

34
Q
  • Initial treatment of acute injuries
  • Used for strains, sprains, contusions, and inflammatory conditions
  • Ice should be applied initially for 20 minutes and then repeated every 1 - 1 1/2 hours and should continue for at least the first 48-72 hours of new injury
  • Treatment must last at least 20 minutes to provide adequate tissue cooling.
  • Ice shouldn’t be left on overnight because of THE HUNTING RESPONSE
A

[ice] in immediate treatment

35
Q
  • Decreases space allowed for swelling to accumulate
  • Important adjunct to elevation and cryotherapy and may be most important component
  • A number of means of compression can be utilized (Ace wraps, foam cut to fit specific areas for focal compression)
  • maintained daily
A

[compression] in immediate care

36
Q
  • Reduces internal bleeding due to forces of gravity
  • Prevents pooling of blood and aids in drainage
  • Greater elevation = more effective reduction in swelling
A

[elevation] of immediate treatment

37
Q

  • Fractures involving knee, thigh, or hip require splinting of whole leg and one side of trunk
A

lower limb splinting

40
Q
  • Around shoulder, splinting is accomplished with a sling.
  • Upper arm and elbow should be splinted with arm straight to lessen bone override
  • Lower arm and wrist fractures should be splinted in position of forearm flexion and supported by sling
  • Hand and finger fractures/dislocations should be splinted with tongue depressors, roller gauze and/or aluminum splints
A

upper limb splinting

41
Q
  • EMS should be contacted if this will be required
  • Must maintain head and neck in alignment of long axis of the body
  • One person must be responsible for head and neck at all times

A

placing athlete on spine board

  • Careful examination is required is stretcher needed
  • May be necessary if athlete can’t be transported comfortably in seated position
A

stretcher carrying

47
Q
  • When lower extremity ambulation is contraindicated a crutch or cane may be required
  • Faulty mechanics or improper fitting can result in additional injury or potentially falls
A

proper fit and use of crutch or cane

48
Q
  • Athlete should stand with good posture, in flat soled shoes
  • Crutches should be placed 6” from outer margin of shoe and 2” in front
  • Crutch base should fall 1” below anterior fold of axilla
  • Hand brace should be positioned to place elbow at 30 degrees of flexion
  • Cane measurement should be taken from height of greater trochanter

fitting athlete for crutch

49
Q
  • Injured leg moves with the crutches
