What is the obhjective of emergency care and emergency The objectives of emergency care and emergency and trauma surgery are to
and trauma surgery? preserve life, to prevent further deterioration of the patient condition, and to
provide whatever care necessary to restore the patient to their previous lifestyle.
When a team member noticies an emergency, what As soon as an emergency patient situation is identified, the healthcare provider
should they do immediately next? (HCP) in the field or the surgical team member should signal for assistance.
Treatment follows a pattern of what for care? Treatment will then follow a pattern of priorities of care.
What are the first two priorities in an emergency The first priority in any emergency situation is to check for and provide a patent
situation to check for? (What to check first) airway to ensure or restore respiratory status and breathing. Second,
cardiovascular status should be maintained or restored and hemostasis should be
provided to maintain circulatory status
List and order the priorities for treatment in an emergency The first priority in any emergency situation is to check for and provide a patent
situation. airway to ensure or restore respiratory status and breathing. Second,
cardiovascular status should be maintained or restored and hemostasis should be
provided to maintain circulatory status. Following these first two priorities,
treatment is provided for the following: Shock Fractures Chest injuries Vital sign
monitoring Wound protection and closure Provision of reassurance and
comfort for the conscious patient
What is CPR? What is its purpose? Every HCP should be familiar with the techniques of cardiopulmonary
resuscitation (CPR), a technique of manually providing chest compression and
ventilations to patients in cardiac arrest to provide oxygenated blood to the brain
and vital organs and reverse the processes that lead to death.

What is the best way for a CST to learn CPR? The best way for the CST to learn this technique is to obtain certification in CPR
or Basic Life Support (BLS), offered in classes available in healthcare facilities
(HCF) and from such organizations as the American Red Cross and the American
Heart Association (AHA). HCF employees should attend the training seminar
every 2 years to renew their CPR and BLS certification.
How often do HCF employees have to renew their CPR HCF employees should attend the training seminar every 2 years to renew their
and BLS certifications? CPR and BLS certification.
What organizations offer it? Most accepted? The best way for the CST to learn this technique is to obtain certification in CPR
or Basic Life Support (BLS), offered in classes available in healthcare facilities
(HCF) and from such organizations as the American Red Cross and the American
Heart Associ
pt in SCA exhibit what two things at som epoint during the Many of the individuals who experience sudden cardiac arrest (SCA) exhibit
episode? What can increase survival rates ventricular fibrillation (VF) or ventricular tachycardia (VT) at some point during
the arrest. Treatment of VF and VT SCA demands early CPR and defibrillation.
CPR that is delivered in the correct manner can highly increase the survival rates
for SCA.
Is the OHCA survival rate for CPR high or low? Explain However, survival for out-of-hospital cardiac arrest (OHCA) victims is very low in
why. the United States and Canada. One major reason for this low rate is the fact that
fewer than one-third of SCA victims receive bystander CPR and the CPR that
is delivered is not high quality.
Why should CPR be started quickly? CPR must be started as quickly as possible, as time is of the essence in cardiac
arrest
What is clinical death and when does it begin? Clinical death begins the moment heart action and breathing stop; the patient
has only 4 to 6 minutes before the cells of the brain begin to deteriorate.
Why is it important that breathing and circulation be . Clinical death begins the moment heart action and breathing stop; the patient has
restored within 4-6 mins? only 4 to 6 minutes before the cells of the brain begin to deteriorate. Therefore it is
very important that breathing and circulation be restored within this time frame to
prevent biological death from occurring.
Is there any way to know a pt is about to be in cardiac There are several warning signs of impending cardiac arrest, and the CST should
arrest? (Are there S/S or is it sudden) be able to recognize these to anticipate the emergent needs of the patient.
List some S/S that warn of impending cardiac arrest. There are several warning signs of impending cardiac arrest, and the CST should
be able to recognize these to anticipate the emergent needs of the patient.
A patient who exhibits any of the following may be in danger of cardiac
arrest: Tachycardia Hypovolemia Laryngospasm Respiratory changes Cardiac
dysrhythmias Unstable blood pressure Chest pain (awake patient)
What does the chain of survival concept apply to? A chain-of-survival concept applied to both in-hospital cardiac arrests (IHCAs)
and OHCAs addresses the ABCs—airway, breathing, and circulation—as well
as providing the "D," definitive treatment.
What acronym is used for remembering the priotiries of addresses the ABCs—airway, breathing, and circulation—as well as providing
CPR? What does each letter stand ofr? the "D," definitive treatment.
