Q

CHEST INJURY - Open chest wound: Critical interventions

A
  • Cut, expose and examine injury
  • Apply pressure with gloved hand (?)

(all the pdf says for the bottom point one is “gloved hand” so I’d assume that means direct pressure but I should probably ask about that)

- Non-stick (telfa) dressing
- Secure dressings with bandage to limit movement and bleeding

(Do NOT impede breathing when securing dressings)

20
Q

ABDOMINAL INJURY - Open abdominal wound: Critical interventions

A
  • Cut, expose and examine
  • Gloved hand (still dunno what that means, direct pressure with gloved hand maybe)
21
Q

ABDOMINAL INJURY - Open abdominal wound: Package for Transport

A

Apply sterile dressings to open skin
- Non-stick (telfa) dressing
- Absorbent dressing (abdominal pad)
- Secure dressings with bandage to limit bleeding

(Do NOT impede breathing when securing dressings)

22
Q

ABDOMINAL INJURY - Evisceration: Critical interventions

A
  • Cut, expose and examine injury
  • Manually corral exposed bowels with gloved hands
23
Q

ABDOMINAL INJURY - Evisceration: Package for transport

A

Apply sterile moist dressings to open skin and exposed bowels
- Add dressings
- Cover with occlusive dressing
- Secure dressings with tape or triangular bandage as to limit movement and contain warmth

Position patient supine or semi-Fowlers with knees bent as to decrease pressure on abdomen

24
Q

HEMORRHAGE - Critical interventions

A
  • Cut, expose and examine injury

MINOR: often capillary bleed, no intervention necessary

MODERATE: often venous bleed: direct pressure in front of gloved hand

MAJOR: often venous/arterial bleed: with gloved hand (probably means direct pressure)

25
Q

HEMORRHAGE - Package for Transport

A

3 Stage Approach:

Step 1: Apply direct pressure with sterile dressings
- Non-stick (telfa) dressing
- Absorbent dressing (abdominal-pad)
- Secure with tight bandage (zap strap/tensor)

Step 2: If hemorrhage NOT controlled
- Leave original dressing in place and apply second dressing with direct pressure
- Absorbent dressing (abdominal-pad)
- Secure bandage

Step 3: If hemorrhage NOT controlled, Apply tourniquet 5-10 cm (2-4 in.) above the injury or just above the joint on single long bone if necessary
- Document the time applied
- If not already, the patient becomes RTC when tourniquet is applied

26
Q

AMPUTATION - Critical interventions

A
  • Cut, expose and examine injury
  • Direct pressure with abdominal-pad
27
Q

AMPUTATION - Package for Transport

A

Begin staged Hemorrhage control protocol or apply tourniquet 5 - 10 cm above amputation

AMPUTATED BODY PART:
1. Locate body part
2. Rinse with Sterile Saline
3. Wrap in sterile gauze
4. Place inside plastic bag
5. Place all above in larger plastic bag and cool with ice or chemical cold packs BUT ensure parts don’t freeze
6. Label bag with name (yours? Patients? Probably patients) date and time
7. Transport with patient

28
Q

BURNS - Thermal: Critical interventions

A

Cool w/ sterile saline for 1-2 mins

29
Q

BURNS - Radiation: Critical interventions

A

Cool w/ sterile saline for 1-2 mins

30
Q

BURNS - Chemical: Critical interventions

A

Flush/cool with sterile saline for 20 mins

31
Q

A

Cool local burns w/ sterile saline for 1-2 mins

32
Q

BURNS - Package for Transport

A
  • Apply dry sterile burn dressings after cooling
  • Drape or secure loosely with bandage
  • Consider entonox for pain management
33
Q

FRACTURES IN STABLE PATIENTS - Critical interventions

A
  • Manual stabilization
  • Cut and expose
  • Control bleed (if necessary)
  • Assess CMS (Circulation, motor, sensation (probably))
34
Q

FRACTURES IN STABLE PATIENTS - Package for Transport

A

Refer to principles of management: “Injuries to Extremities”

SAGER traction splint = 1/3 femur only

Use STAPLES acronym
- Size
- Thigh strap
- Ankle straps
- Padding
- Lbs ❤️
- Elevate/Elastic Straps ❤️
- Strap ❤️ + Reassess Traction
(I don’t know what the hearts are supposed to represent but they’re in the pdf so…)

35
Q

FRACTURES IN UNSTABLE PATIENTS - Critical interventions

A
  • Manual stabilization
  • Cut and expose
  • Control bleeding
  • Assess CMS (Circulation, motor, sensation (probably))

If pale cool and pulseless, long bones realign to anatomical

If limb remains pulseless transport patient as RTC (unstable)

36
Q

FRACTURES IN UNSTABLE PATIENTS - Pelvis: Package for Transport

A

Use zap straps or triangular bandages
- Rolled blanket between the legs
- 3 sets of straps around pelvis, top of superior strap should be just inferior to iliac crest
- 1 set securing femurs
- 1 set securing tibia/fibulas

37
Q

FRACTURES IN UNSTABLE PATIENTS - Hip fracture(s)/Dislocation: Package for Transport

A

Use zap straps or triangular bandages
- Pad in position of comfort
- Secure injured limb to uninjured with zap straps and blankets
- Pad in position of comfort (maybe unintentionally repeated?)
- 2 sets securing femurs
- 1 set securing tibia/fibulas

38
Q

FRACTURES IN UNSTABLE PATIENTS - Femur Fracture(s): Package for Transport

A

Use zap straps or triangular bandages
- Rolled blanket between legs
- 1 set of straps securing femurs above fracture
- 1 set of straps securing femurs below fracture
- 1 set securing tibia/fibulas

39
Q

FRACTURES IN UNSTABLE PATIENTS - Tibia/Fibulas: Package for Transport

A

Use zap straps or triangular bandages
