Wounds and Healing
Structure that carries oxygenated blood away from the heart to the rest of the body.
What are arteries?
All types of shock, except neurogenic shock, result in these two changes in vital signs- blood pressure and pulse.
What are increase in pulse, decrease in pressure?
Oxygenated blood moves here after the left atrium and left ventricle.
What is the aorta?
First step in starting CPR in adult.
When assessing for SCA, best location to take pulse.
What is carotid artery?
This phase of healing is responsible for stopping bleeding.
What is hemostasis?
Shock resulting from an allergic reaction
What is anaphylaxis?
What is deoxygenated blood.
Define an acute myocardial infarction.
What is blood flow to the heart is blocked, damaging the heart muscle and causing heart cells to die?
These are responsible for maintaining blood flow within a capillary bed.
What are arterioles?
Five signs of inflammation.
What are heat, redness, swelling, pain, and loss of function?
Shock resulting from a systemic infection.
What is septic shock?
The pacemaker of the heart
What is the sinoatrial (SA) node?
What is sudden cardiac arrest?
Throwing up blood
What is hematemesis?
Three steps, in order, for stop the bleed
What are direct pressure, wound packing, and tourniquet
Cause of cardiogenic shock
What is the heart's inability to pump enough blood, like an acute myocardial infarction?
Portion of blood that carries oxygen.
What are red blood cells?
What is Hypertrophic Cardiomyopathy?
Two indicators of severe external hemorrhaging.
What are: pooling blood, blood soaking through clothes, spurting or pumping blood?
Three cardiovascular responses to acute hemorrhaging.
What are shunting via vasoconstriction, tachycardia, and then venoconstriction?
Shock is caused by a physical blockage that prevents blood from flowing into or out of the heart or great vessels, reducing cardiac output despite the heart muscle itself often being normal.
What is obstructive Shock
Tell the flow of blood starting at the superior/inferior vena cava.
What are: superior/inferior vena cava, right atrium, right ventricle, pulmonary artery, lungs, pulmonary veins, left atrium, left ventricle, aorta?
Condition triggered by a blunt, non-penetrating blow to the anterior chest without structural injury to the ribs, sternum, or heart and results in abnormal heart rhythm and then sudden cardiac arrest.
What is commotio cordis?
Refers to circulation to the lungs.
What is pulmonary circulation?
