Emergency situations
4 indicators suggesting a PT emergency may occur
what is: difficulty breathing, chest pain, changes in skin color, changes in vital signs
This organ begins to suffer permanent damage about 4–6 minutes after oxygen is lost during cardiac arrest.
what is the brain
name the 3 types of disasters
what is nature caused, human caused and nature/human caused disasters
AED
what is automated external defibrillator
first priority when assessing a patient in an emergency.
what is a patent airway
when sudden cardiac arrest occurs how long before brain damage occurs
what is 4-6 mins
This anatomical structure must remain open to allow oxygen to reach the lungs during CPR
what is airway
triage color green means
what is minor injuries
CDC
what is centers for disease control
these three steps form the basic emergency assessment order
What is Airway, Breathing, Circulation (ABC)
first priority of CPR for an adult after establishing unresponsiveness
what is chest compressions

what is the heart and lungs
triage color black means
what is last priority/dead
EOC
what is emergency operations center
This assessment involves checking for a pulse and blood flow.
What is circulation
ratio of compressions to breathing during CPR for a PT any age
what is 30:2
This large blood vessel is responsible for circulating oxygenated blood from the heart to the rest of the body.
what is the aorta
triage color red means
what is 1st priority
POD
This injury type may threaten breathing if the lungs are affected.
What are chest injuries
primary role of CST during CPR in the OR
what is protect sterile field unless directed otherwise
This organ pumps blood throughout the body and stops functioning during cardiac arrest.
what is the heart
triage color yellow means
transport can be delayed
NIMS
what is national incident management system
This step checks if the patient is moving air effectively
What is breathing
