West Coast EMT Final Prep - Medical
Assessing a diabetic affected person - ANS-Scene protection:be privy to syringes and insulin
bottles lying round. General impression: Look for ALOC, keep in mind any unresponsive
patient request ALS, hypoglycemic are mean drunks while hyperglycemic are stressed with
fruity breaths. Airway & respiration: Provide high waft oxygen 12-15 L/min thru
nonrebreathing masks. Hyperglycemic could have Kussmaul respirations, deep/rapid
respirations. Provide any intervention necessary for airway. Circulation: Rapid,vulnerable
pulses, Look for skin signs and symptoms of hyperglycemic or hypoglycemic (cool and
clammy deliver them sweet, hot and dry sugar excessive). History: Assess the 3P's: polyuria,
polydipsia, polyphagia. Medications - insulin, Glucometer nearby, Last oral/Events -
overlooked insulin or snacking for hyperglycemic sufferers, an excessive amount of insulin or
skipped a meal for hypoglycemic.
Assessing a patient with viable hazardous cloth exposure - ANS-Determine stage of toxicity
of unsafe materials and feature suitable BSI/PPE - SCBA or HEPA mas. Only treatment
within hazard zone/decontamination region consist of stress dressings to govern bleeding.
Once in treatment location, be careful of trauma, damage because of publicity of poisonous
hazardous substances, and early airway intervention. Assess like a regular patient.
Assessing and treating unique populations - ANS-...
Communicating with a patient with a psychological disorder - ANS-...
Complications of oral glucose management - ANS-Inability to swallow and preserve airway
Indications for oral glucose management - ANS-Conscious/altered, able to swallow, and hold
airway.
Initial assessment of a clinical patient - ANS-...
Questions to invite when assessing a clinical affected person - ANS-...
Side results of epinephrine - ANS-Increased sympathetic anxious device together with
accelerated heart price and respiration rate. Dizziness, headache, sweating, nausea, and
faded pores and skin.
Signs and signs of a heat stroke - ANS-Red warm dry pores and skin, throbbing head pain,
lack of sweat regardless of heat, nausea/vomiting, speedy coronary heart again, and
fast/shallow breathing
Signs and symptoms of an tension assault - ANS-...
Signs and symptoms of an electrical damage - ANS-Small entrance, deep tissue damage.
