Head Spinal
This is the first priority when assessing a patient with a suspected spinal injury
maintaining spinal motion restriction/manual stabilization
This is the first-line treatment for most external bleeding
Direct Pressure
An injury in which a bone is forced out of its normal position at a joint is called this
Dislocation
What is the flow rate for a nasal canula
1-4 lpm
This organ is responsible for pumping blood throughout the body.
Heart
A patient who suffered a head injury becomes increasingly confused and develops unequal pupils. This may indicate this life-threatening condition.
increasing intracranial pressure/brain injury
A severe extremity hemorrhage that cannot be controlled with direct pressure may require this device
Tourniquet
A broken bone that does not penetrate through the skin is classified as this.
A closed Fracture
For patients that a breathing and have an Sp02 86% we use this oxygen delivery system.
Non-Rebreather Mask
Chest pressure or discomfort accompanied by sweating, nausea, shortness of breath, or pain radiating to the arm or jaw should raise concern for this emergency.
Myocardial Infarction (Heart Attack)
After a significant mechanism of injury, a patient complains of neck pain and tingling in both hands. You should suspect this type of injury.
a spinal cord injury
An abdominal wound with organs protruding through it is called this, and the organs should not be pushed back inside
Evisceration
After splinting an injured limb, this should be reassessed to determine whether circulation and nerve function have been maintained
Distal circulation
For Neonates, what is the assisted ventilation rate?
1 every 3 seconds?
A patient with a suspected heart attack should be kept at rest and monitored while you do this.
Call EMS
Clear fluid draining from the nose or ears following significant head trauma may indicate this type of injury.
Orbit Fracture
How many cm have above a joint does a tourniquet to be applied
2.5 cm
A patient has a femur fracture. What type of splint do we apply?
Traction splint
This is the name of the process of openeing the patient's airway when providing assisted ventilations.
Head-Tilt Chin Lift
A patient collapses, is unresponsive, and is not breathing normally. The device used to analyze the heart rhythm and deliver a shock when indicated is this.
Automated external Defibrillator (AED)
A head-injured patient initially appears fine but later becomes unconscious after a period of improvement. This classic presentation should make you suspect this type of intracranial bleeding.
an epidural hematoma?
A patient has life-threatening bleeding from an extremity. After applying a tourniquet, this information should be documented and communicated to EMS.
What time the tourniquet was applied
Pneumothorax is what?
Penetrating chest wound that leads to air entering the lung as the patient exhales.
We insert these if the patient's tongue is blocking their airway.
Oralpharyngeal Airway (OPA)
While the AED is charging and tells you to not touch the patient, what should we do?
Continue compressions until AED is charged
