The "Air" We Breathe
Dose This
Shock and Awe
Cardiac Craze
Fun Size
100
This high-pitched inspiratory sound is due to upper airway narrowing
Stridor
100
An EMT can administer this medication in a cardiac emergency. It may even cause a headache
Nitroglycerin
100
This classification of shock is due to a derangement in vascular size
Distributive
100
The name of this rhythm
Ventricular Fibrillation
100
These are the 3 parts to a pediatric assessment triangle (PAT)
Appearance, Work of Breathing, and Circulation
200
This measure of respiratory efficiency equals tidal volume multiplied by respiratory rate
Minute Ventilation
200
This pharmacokinetic phase describes the movement of a medication from its site of administration into the bloodstream.
Absorption
200
Widespread vasodilation due to infection produces this type of distributive shock
Septic Shock
200
Patients with this condition may have dyspnea with crackles
Left sided heart failure
200
These 2 reasons are why infants have increased risk of airway obstruction
Larger heads, small airways, floppy tongues, floppy epiglottis, large occiput, narrow airway
300
Positive pressure ventilation decreases cardiac output by reducing this cardiovascular component.
Venous return/ preload
300
Albuterol primarily targets this specific receptor subtype
Beta 2 adrenergic receptors
300
These are 3 causes of hypovolemic shock
Burns, dehydration, vomiting/ diarrhea, hemorrhage
300
A patient who becomes unresponsive and apneic needs to have this done immediately
Pulse check (at least 5 no more than 10 seconds)
300
This stage of development is more prone to separation anxiety and may resist assessment
Toddler
400
This device can be used to help patients with acute exacerbation of CHF
CPAP (Continuous Positive Airway Pressure)
400
This is the pediatric dosing formula for IM epinephrine (anaphylaxis)
0.01 mg/kg
400
Bradycardia coupled with irregular respirations and widening pulse pressures is an indication of this
Increased cranial pressure
400
These 2 cardiac rhythms are defibrillated by the AED
Ventricular Tachycardia (V Tach) and Ventricular Fibrillation (V Fib)
400
This is the latest sign of hypoperfusion in children and making it an unreliable early indicator
Blood pressure
500
This is the MOST reliable bedside indicator of successful endotracheal tube placement.
continuous waveform capnography
500
This drug is contraindicated in children due to Reye's syndrome
Aspirin
500
Patients with dyspnea following a recent surgery are at risk for which shock category
Obstructive Shock
500
When an adult patient in cardiac arrest is intubated, this is how often you will ventilate them
Once very 6 seconds
500
These are the 3 upper airway sounds
Stridor, gurgling, and snoring
