Unit 4 Flashcards
whats being properly trained and equipped for any medical disaster called
Emergancy Prepardness
what are 5 things in emergancey preparation
- Emergancy action plan
- proper couvarge of events
- maintenance of appropriate equipment
- Notifiy and use of appropriate emergancy equpiment
- continuing education nin emergancy medine.
whats an emergancy action plan
formal document outlining step in case of an emergancy so everyone is prepared and knows what to do
what are the 3 most important roles
- Acute/Immedate
- Transport
- Tramua
what are 2 forms of emergancey transport
helicopter and ambulance
what are some emergancy equipment
Aed, Splints, Spine boards, c-collars, facemasks
whats the golden hour
the hour you have the most succesfull time to save someone
Medical illness or traumatic injury that has the potential to be life threatining i the absense of treatment
Medical emergancy
what are some examples of medical emergancy
- not breathing
- no pulse
-neck or spinal injury - fractures
-eye injurys - severe bleeding
what is shock
colapse of cardiovascular system
what is cirrculation
movement of blood through the body
what body part acts as “ the pump”
the heart
What does the right one on the heart do
cirrculats blood through lungs to obtain oxygen
what does the left part of the heart do
oxygen-rich blood from lungs to rest of body
what DOES circculation do
transports oxygen and nutrients to tissue and removes waste products from the body
what are the four chambers of the heart
- right atrium
- left atrium
- right ventricile
- left ventricle
what are the four functions of blood
tranports nutrients and oxygen; removes waste, circulates to maintain perfusion, transports dieses fighting white blood cells,
What is the first 3 steps of the blood flow through the heart
- Superior Vena Cava
- Right Atrium
- Tricuspid valve
what is the 4-6 step of the blood flow through heart
- Right ventricle
- Pulmonary valve
- Pulmonary arteries
what is the 7-9 step of the blood flow through heart
- Lungs
- Pulmonary veins
- Left atrium
what is the 10-13th steps of the blood flow through heart
- Mitral Valve
- Left ventricle
- Aortic Valve
- Aorta/ Aortic branches
What does the vena cava do in the cirrculatory system
Delivers deoxygenated blood to the right atrium
what does the right atrium do in the cirrculatory system
Delivers deoxygenated blood to the right ventricle
what does the right ventricle do in the cirrculatory system
Delivers deoxygenated blood to the lungs
what does the Left Atrium do in the circulatory system
Receives deoxygenated blood from the lungs and delivers it to the left ventricle
what does the Left ventricle do in the circulatory system
Gives the oxygenated blood to the aorta
what does the Aorta do in the circulatory system
Delivers the oxygenated blood to the other areas of the body
whats the rate of compressions for hands only cpr
11-120 per minute
when it comes to treating a suspected cardiac arrest victim what are the steps
- check the scene
- establish responsivness
- check pulse
- call 9-1-1
- start cpr
when it comes to stopping bleeding whats the best tool to use
a Tourniqit
when someones heart stops with no warning, thats called what.
- what type of shock could they suffer from
Sudden cardiac death
-cardiogenic
what is comottio cordis
Trauma to the heart affects the automaticity
Hypertrophic Cardiomyopathy
when the heart has an englarged heart muscle that causes ventricular problems
cardiac arrest
seizing of the heart muscles due to atrial fibrilation
what is systolic
pressure exerted against walls of artery when left ventricle contracts.
what is diastolic
pressure exerted against artey exept when the left ventricle is relaxed
what is systolic and diastolic used for
to measure pulse pressure
what is arterial bleeding
bright red, tends to spurt
( think about the neck in movies)
what is capillary bleeding
low pressure, easy to control, blood just oozes out like a fall off a bike. a cut
what is venous bleeding
when a vein is torn or cut, dark red, flows out.
what are the types of dressings for wound care
gauze, non-adhearint ( doesnt stick to dried blood), self adhearant ( bandaid)
what are the most common signs of infection
redness, swelling, pain, loss of function
what is SCD
sudden cardiac death- when the heart speeds up and just stops beating.
what is hypotrophic cardiomypathy
thicking of heart muscles and can cause scd
what is hemorrhagic shock
loss of blood from injury
internal or external bleeding
what is respotory ( obstructive)
lungs unable to supply oxygen to blood
-disease, illness, pulmonary contusion
what is cardiac shock (cardiogenic)
inadequate function of heart
disease, infection or injury
what is metabolic shock
severe loss of body fluids
d
what is anaphyactic shock (distributive)
severe allergic reation
anything from ichy eyes or stuffy nose to circulatory/respiroty failure
what is septic shock ( distributive)
caused by a severe infection
-body tissues dont get enough oxygen and blood
what is phychogenic shock (distributive)
physiologic response to fear, stress, or emotional crisis
- caused by sudden temporary dialation of blood vessles
what is neuroginic shock (distributive)
can occur in trauma like spinal cord injury
what is the catagory hypovolemic for shock
it is a catagory for severe bood loss
what is the catagory cardiogenic for shock
what is obstructive for shock
what is distributive for shock
