NYS Paramedic Final
1966 accidental death and disability: the neglected disease of modern society (the white paper) - develop
collaborative strategies to identify and address community health and safety issues
acute stress reactions - Reaction to stress that occurs during a stressful situation.
anaphylactic shock - occurs when histamine another vasodilator proteins are release on exposure to an allergen,
causing widespread vasodilation and leaky vessels
baroreceptors - detect changes in blood pressure by measuring diameter in blood vessels responding with
constriction, in aortic arch and carotid
Basilar Skull Fracture Signs/Symptoms - raccoon eyes; bruising behind ears; blood and CSF from ears/nose,
possible ICP
beck's triad - sign of tamponade: hypotension, JVD, muffled heart sounds
Benzo OD tx - Flumazenil/romazicon
Blast Injuries: Primary - caused solely by direct effect of blast overpressure
blast injuries: quarternary - burns and inhalation
Blast Injuries: Secondary - caused by flying objects that strike people
Blast Injuries: Tertiary - caused by total body displacement by blast wave or wind into solid surface OR
displacement of solid object into body
Brown-Sequard Syndrome - Hemi-section of the cord- ipsilateral (same side) spastic paralysis and loss of position
sense- contralateral (opposite side) loss of pain and thermal sense
Brudzinski's sign - pain with resistance and involuntary flex of hip/knee when neck is flexed to chest when lying
supine, meningitis
cardiogenic shock - occur sheen the heart cannot circulate enough blood to maintain perfusion, most commonly
caused by MI followed by dysrhythmias
central shock - cardiogenic and obstructive
compensated shock - The early stage of shock, in which the body can still compensate for blood loss, stable vitals
comunicable disease - is a disease that can be spread from one person or species to another
crush injuries - injury causing acidosis and rhabdo
Cullen's sign - ecchymosis in umbilical area, seen with pancreatitis and trauma
cumulative stress reactions - occur when you are exposed to prolonged or excessive stress
Cushing's triad - bradycardia, hypertension, and bradypnea
decompensated shock - The late stage of shock when blood pressure is falling.
delayed stress reactions - Manifest after stressful event
