Perfusion
The part of the lungs where gas exchange occurs
Alveoli
This medication, and dose, is administered to a patient with loss of consciousness, constricted pupils, and respiratory depression.
0.4-4mg Narcan

Pulmonary
The Q in OPQRST
Quality (Can you describe the pain?)
Tylenol is a _____ name, whereas acetaminophen is its ________ name.
Trade, Generic
This condition is diagnosed in childhood, and is known for the thickening and hardening of mucous, which blocks airways and disrupts the GI system.
Cystic Fibrosis
Your patient is experiencing significant shortness of breath after falling from a roof. He presents with JVD, profound hypotension, and a severely diminished left lung sounds. You can suspect this traumatic emergency.
Tension Pneumothorax
Heart rate x stroke volume = ____________
Cardiac output
This medication, and dose, is packaged in a syringe and may be administered IV to a patient who is hypoglycemic.
12.5G Dextrose 50%
Inspiration is a(n) ________ process
Active
This type of assessment is intended to find life threats, and determine the patient's priority.
Primary assessment (Initial assessment)
When stimulated, this receptor increases the heart rate, conduction, and force of contraction
Beta 1
These two conditions are known as COPD, either together or separately.
Emphysema and Chronic Bronchitis
This traumatic emergency should be suspected when a patient presents with Beck's triad.
Cardiac Tamponade
(Hypotension, JVD, muffled heart sounds)
Hyperventilating may result in respiratory _________
Alkalosis
This beta2 agonist is intended to relax the smooth muscle of the bronchioles
Albuterol
This primary buffer system corrects acidosis by eliminating acid through CO2
Respiratory System (Lungs)
This lung sound may be present in a patient with COPD, who is having an exacerbation.
Wheezes
When this receptor is activated, we can expect peripheral vasoconstriction
Alpha 1
Failure to take ones insulin in type one diabetes may result in this medical emergency, where the patient may present with vomiting, red/flushed skin, kussmauls, and altered mental status.
Diabetic Keto-acidosis (DKA)
Your patient fell from a ladder onto pavement and is now unconscious and unresponsive. You notice bruising around the eyelids and behind both ears. You suspect this injury.
Basilar Skull fracture
Gas exchange from the blood to the cells is referred to as __________
Internal respiration
This medication, and dose, is given to a pediatric patient in cardiac arrest
0.01mg/kg Epinephrine 1:10,000
The first initial buffer system when metabolic acidosis is developed
Respiratory rate increases
The three signs of Cushing's Triad
Hypertension, Bradycardia, Irregular respirations
This branch of pharmacology describes the drug's mechanism of action.
Pharmacodynamics
You arrive on scene to a patient who is red, sweating, pacing, agitated, and appears to be unaware of your arrival. He is making statements that lead you to believe is is altered and disassociated from reality. You should be concerned for this condition.
Excited Delirium
An adult patient has burns that appear to be blistering across his anterior chest and abdomen. You would notify the hospital that he has this type of burn on this percentage of his body.
Partial thickness (2nd degree) on 18% on his body
A blood pH of 7.21 and etCO2 of 25 mmHg indicates which state of acidosis/alkalosis?
Metabolic acidosis
This is the dose for pediatric fluid resuscitation
20 mL/kg
This imbalance is a cause of hypoxemia by disrupting the ventilation and perfusion ratio, seen in emergencies such as pneumonia
VQ Mismatch
These respirations are an abnormal rhythmic pattern characterized by:
increasing respirations, followed by decreasing respirations, followed by apnea.
Cheyene Stokes Respirations
Part 1: Severe hypotension, bradycardia, and peri-arrest are common findings in a patient who overdoses on THIS commonly prescribed antihypertensive/antiarrhythmic
Part 2: What is the reversal agent administered by the AEMT?
Beta Blockers
Glucagon
A seizure of one area of the body, such as the arm, is an example of which type?
Partial seizure
You are triaging a patient with an abdominal injury. Respirations are 20, pulse is 100 and strong, and the patient appears altered. Which color tag should they receive?
Red
