Ventilation and Respiration
This is the amount of dead air space in the average adult
150 ml
The pulse does this when intracranial pressure is on the rise
slows
This rhythm will be shocked by an AED even when the pt has a pulse
V Tach
These receptors in the sympathetic nervous system cause vasoconstriction
Alpha 1
Formation of this in the leg is responsible for the patient having a pulmonary embolism
DVT (deep vein thrombosis)
Respiratory failure involves reduced values in one or both of these factors
respiratory rate and respiratory volume/depth
Abdominal pain that is diffuse and difficult to pinpoint
visceral pain
Albuterol acts primarily on this receptor in the sympathetic nervous system
Beta 2
Beta blocking medications do this to the heart rate
slow the rate
-olol
The 5 D's of large vessel occlusion stroke are dizziness, dystaxia, dysarthria, dysphagia, and
diplopia (double vision)
dystaxia-uncoordinated movement, dysphagia- difficulty swallowing, dysarthria- speech issue(motor, not interpretation)
The average adult BVM can hold this volume of air
1500 ml
Tension pneumothorax reduces this cardiac parameter to cause shock
preload
What 2 factors combine to determine cardiac output
heart rate and stroke volume
This sympathomimetic medication is given to patients experiencing anaphylaxis
Epinephrine
These measure pressure and are found in the carotids and aorta
baroreceptors
This is the point where the trachea bifurcates into the main bronchi
carina
25% of the systolic
This cardiac arrhythmia can be responsible for a patient having a stroke
atrial fibrillation
This cranial nerve is a primary messenger for the parasympathetic nervous system
Vagus nerve (10th)
A MAP below this number is usually considered shock
65 mmhg
The abbreviation Va stands for this respiratory volume
Alveolar volume
Minute volume- dead airspace for each breath
The loss of this amount of blood in the average adult is generally considered irreversible shock
40% or 2000ml
This describes how the hearts stroke volume increases in response to the increase in the volume of blood returning to the heart
Frank-Starling mechanism
What is the expected response of the pulse to decreased vascular tone
increase
How many ml's of blood dose the average adult female have per kg of ideal body weight
65 ml
males have 70-75ml
