How to estimate PEDI ET tube size: Uncuffed
Cuffed
Uncuffed ET: (Age /4) + 4 OR (Age + 16) /4
Cuffed ET = (Age /4) + 3.5
Pedi intubation ETT location=
ETT Insertion is 2-3 cm below the vocal cords
Suctioning catheter sizing form/=
Intubation ETT size # X 2
Suctioning time limits:
Adults 15 secs max,
Children= 10 secs max,
Infants=5 secs max,
ET/Trach tube= 5-10 secs max
ETT size range~
Adults (6.0-9.0) women~7-8 & man~8-9
Pedi tubes(2.5-5.5)
Respiration ratio=
1 sec inhalation 2 sec exhalation
“rule of thumb” for estimating the proper depth of an ETT=
Depth should be ~3x ETT size
How to estimate pedi weight
(Age + 4) x 2 = Approximate weight in kg (Old Way)
(Age x 3) + 7 = Approximate weight in kg (New Way

minimal diameter for sucking chest wound
= 50% of all Trauma deaths is head trauma
= 35% GSW account for Head Trauma deaths
= 5-10% penetrating neck trauma (airway & neuro
= 70-80% penetrating chest fatal

The blood volume of an infant or young child is proportionally:
Population most at risk for trauma & trauma death:
= ~20%> than that of an adult
= Young adult male
ETCO2 Lvs in head-injured intubated PT shouldn’t drop below:
When vent/ing a adult PT, each breath should have tidal volume of:
= 30 mmHg
= approximately 500mL
Orthostatic hypotension

Stroke volume:
Cardiac Output (CO):
CO form/:
3 factors that affect CO:
Dynamic CO:
= blood amount ejected in 1 contraction> varies 60-100mL 70average
= Amount of blood moved in 1min
= HR X SV -> 5-6 L of blood moved in 1 min
= preload, afterload, contractility

Jacksons Theory of Thermal Burns 3 burn zones:
1st Zone of Coagulation 2nd Zone of Stasis 3rd Zone of Hyperemia
(Thermal burn phases) Emergent phase:
Vtach, cells anaerobic Body’s initial reaction to burn; pain response (afferent nerves damage> Nor/Epi release > tachycardia ; unless on beta blockers
(Thermal burn phases) Hypermetabolic phase:
3rd phase Days or weeks depending on burn severity; increase in body’s demands for nutrients; begins process of repairing damaged tissue (needs Glucose, amino acids, carbohydrates, O2 to support damage)
(Thermal burn phases) Resolution phase:
4th phase Scar tissue laid down and remodeled; rehabilitate and return to normal function (weeks to months) new collagen & usually doesnt remodel to original state & makes escar (burn keloid) bc overgrowth

relationship between current (I), resistance (R), voltage (V)
Lightning can still strike you if proximity up to:
up to 50yrds can strike you
Lightning strikes frequency & strike proximity

mechanism of injury (MOI):
the circumstances and events by which an injury occurs.
Force:
Force formula:
= force related to a objects mass(weight) and/or achange in velocity
= mass x Acceleration

Factors of bullet speed/damage:
Trajectory:
Cavitation:
Profile:
= object pierces the skin and enters the body
= object pierces through & through body
= Low velocity: knifes, swords, ect
= Medium: handguns
= High-velocity: Rifles
= study of projectiles in motion & effects on objects
= Trajectory, Drag, Cavitation, Velocity, Profile, Shape:
= curved path bullet follows after fired from a gun
= Outward motion of cavity due to projectiles speed & vacuums
= cross-section of bullet along its direction of travel
(Newtons laws) inertia) 2nd law:
force formula is summarized as:
= force is related to object’s mass (weight) & rate of its change in velocity (speed)
= Force=Mass (weight)×Acceleration (or deceleration)2
Kinetic energy:
kinetic energy formula:
Increasing mass vs. velocity directly increases what:
= energy of an object in motion (Fn. of object’s mass & its velocity)
= Kinetic energy=Mass(weight)×Velocity(speed)22
= kinetic energy > +velocity exponentially increases kinetic energy
