Airway & Breathing
This airway adjunct is used on unconscious patients without a gag reflex
What is an OPA?
The recommended compression rate for adult CPR
What is 100-120 compressions per minute?
This type of bleeding is bright red and spurts
What is arterial bleeding?
Low blood sugar is known as
What is hypoglycemia?
This medication may be given orally to a conscious diabetic patient with low blood sugar
What is oral glucose?
This oxygen device can deliver high concentrations of oxygen at 15LPM
What is a NRB? (Non-rebreather Mask)
The depth for adult chest compressions
What is at least 2 inches?
This condition can result from severe blood loss and poor perfusion
What is hypovolemic shock?
This severe allergic reaction can cause airway swelling and shock
What is anaphylaxis?
This medication is administered during anaphylaxis to help reverse airway swelling and improve breathing
What is epinephrine?
The head tilt chin lift maneuver should NOT be used on patients without this suspected injury
What is a spinal injury?
You should minimize this during CPR
What are interruptions in chest compressions?
This type of dressing is applied on 3 sides to treat an open chest wound and help prevent a tension pneumothorax
What is an occlusive dressing?
This breathing pattern is commonly associated with diabetic ketoacidosis
What are Kussmaul respirations?
This medication is commonly administered to suspected opioid overdose patients to reverse respiratory depression
What is narcan?
This breathing sound is commonly heard when fluid is in the lungs
What are crackles/rales?
This rhythm is commonly referred to as a “shockable“ rhythm despite the patient having no organized cardiac output
This injury occurs when pressure builds inside a closed muscle compartment, compromising circulation and tissue perfusion
What is compartment syndrome?
This condition occurs when the heart cannot effectively pump blood, often causing fluid in lungs, and pinky frothy sputum
What is CHF? (Congestive Heart Failure)
Assisting a chest pain patient with this medication should generally be withheld if the systolic blood pressure is below 100 mmHg because it may worsen hypotension
What is nitroglycerin?
This condition occurs when air enters the pleural space causing severe respiratory distress, hypotension, and absent lung sounds on one side
What is a tension pneumothorax?
When performing two- rescuer adult CPR with an ADVANCED AIRWAY in place, compressions should remain continuous while ventilations are given at this rate
What is 1 breath every 6 sEcon’s?
A patient involved in a high speed MVA is unconscious with unequal pupils, posturing, hypertension, and a decreased respiratory rate. These finds are most consistent with a?
What is a traumatic brain injury?
After seeing a large amount of blood, a patient becomes pale, diaphoretic, dizzy, and briefly loses consciousness due to sudden vagal stimulation. This condition is known as
What is vasovagal syncope?
What is a GI bleed?
