What are the 3 layers of the heart?


The epicardium is the outer layer that contains blood vessels. The myocardium is the middle layer that is composed of contractile tissues. The endocardium is the innermost layer and composes the valves, inner lining of the chambers, and contains vessels and nerves.



100

What is a respiration? 

One inhalation and one exhalation.

100

What is the first step in CPR?

Make sure the scene is safe.

100

What are the 5 main vital signs?

Blood Pressure, Body Temperature, Pulse Rate, Respiration Rate and Pain.

100

What is 12:34 pm in military time?

1234

200

Describe the function of the red blood cell

Carry oxygen from the lungs and deliver it throughout our body. Red blood cells also transport waste.

200

What is the process of gas exchange?

The exchange of O2 and CO2 within the lungs to keep the body supplied with health oxygen. 

200

When should you stop BLS or CPR?

When ROSC occurs or when given a valid document to stop.

200

Should you tell someone when you're taking their respiration. 

No.

200

Convert 3:40 am to Military time.

0340.

300

Differentiate between arteries, veins, and capillaries .

Arteries carry blood away from your heart. Veins carry blood back toward your heart. Capillaries, the smallest blood vessels, connect arteries and veins.

300

Differentiate between internal and external respiration.

Internal respiration occurs in the body tissues, where cells release carbon dioxide and take in oxygen from the blood. External respiration occurs in the lungs or gills and occurs when the body takes in oxygen from the atmosphere and releases carbon dioxide.

300

What is the compression to breath ratio for adults, children and infants?

30:2 and then for children and infants is 15:2 for a 2 person CPR rescue.  

300

If someone has a temp of 98.6*F, they are what?

Normal.

300

5:45 in Military time.

17:45

400

Describe the blood flow through the heart.


Oxygen-poor blood from the body enters your heart through two large veins called the superior and inferior vena cava. The blood enters the heart's right atrium and is pumped to your right ventricle, which in turn pumps the blood to your lungs.
400

Identify the anatomical structures of the respiratory system.

Upper (organ outside thorax - nose, pharynx and larynx) and lower respiratory tract (organ within thorax - trachea, bronchi, bronchioles, alveolar duct and alveoli).

400

How deep should chest compressions be?

2.4 inches.

400

If a Patient has a BP of 130/90, they would have what?

Hypertension.

400
What is 1830 in 24 hour time?

6:30

500

Describe the conductive pathway of the heart and the role of each electrical impulse.

The electrical stimulus travels down through the conduction pathways and causes the heart's ventricles to contract and pump out blood. The 2 upper chambers of the heart (atria) are stimulated first and contract for a short period of time before the 2 lower chambers of the heart (ventricles).
500

What defense mechanism does the lung have to protect against diseases?

Mucus.

500

What are the lasting damages from CPR?

Sometimes CPR is only partly successful. If the person survives, they may suffer damage to the brain or other organs or be permanently dependent on a machine to breathe.

500

What is the range of Blood Pressure for the different blood pressure levels?

Normal blood pressure: Lower than 120/80 mmHg. Elevated blood pressure: Between 120-129/80 mmHg. High blood pressure, stage 1: Between 130-139/80-90 mmHg. High blood pressure, stage 2: 140/90 mmHg or higher.

If Mr. Jones arrives at the Hospital at 12:24 pm on Sunday and leaves the hospital at 2254 on the same day, how long was his stay?

10 hours and 30 minutes.
