BVM. The bag should be squeezed every ___ to ___ seconds and deliver each breath
over ___ seconds
✔✔recheck and reposition the airway, watch for the rise and fall of the chest, and
ventilate only enough to cause the chest to rise and do not push on the abdomen -
✔✔You are performing CPR on a patient. You notice signs of gastric distention. You
should do these things and avoid this
✔✔Field Medical Card (FMC) and blocks 1, 3, 4, 7, 9, and 11 - ✔✔DD Form 1380 is
called this and these are the minimum required blocks that must be completed
✔✔abnormal pulse - ✔✔Arrhythmia
✔✔all four sides - ✔✔Tape this many sides of an occlusive dressing
✔✔suction no longer than 15 seconds - ✔✔You are suctioning an adult patient. Never
suction longer than this
✔✔front height of the collar should fit between the point of the chin and the chest at the
suprasternal notch - ✔✔Proper placement of a cervical collar
✔✔Select the appropriate size of airway before inserting a nasopharyngeal airway -
✔✔measure the airway from the patient's nostril to the earlobe and measure the airway
from the patient's nostril to the angle of the jaw
✔✔NPA - ✔✔Another name for nasopharyngeal airway
✔✔Another name for a J-tube and OPA - ✔✔oropharyngeal airway
✔✔Select appropriate size of OPA. - ✔✔measure from the casualty's ear lobe to the
corner of the mouth
✔✔green, silver, or chrome - ✔✔Colors of United States oxygen cylinders
✔✔6 to 8 inches below the drip chamber - ✔✔Flow regulator placement on IV injection
set
✔✔200 psi - ✔✔The safe residual level of the oxygen at which the cylinder should be
replaced
, ✔✔5 cc - ✔✔Amount of sterile water used to flush the IV catheter after initiating a saline
lock
✔✔tension pneumothorax - ✔✔Air enters the chest cavity (pleural space) through a
hole in the lung, expanding the space with every breath the casualty takes. The air
becomes trapped and cannot escape. Signs and symptoms can include chest pain and
increased pressure in the chest causes lung(s) to collapse
✔✔air embolism - ✔✔Obstruction of a blood vessel by air carried via the bloodstream. It
is caused by conditions such as air bubbles in the IV tubing, a solution container that
has run dry, or disconnected IV tubing
✔✔phlebitis - ✔✔Inflammation of the wall of the vein. It is caused by injury to the vein
during puncture or from irritation to the vein caused by long term therapy, incompatible
additives, or use of a vein that is too small to handle the amount or type of solution
✔✔tonic/clonic and postictal - ✔✔Two phases of grand mal (generalized) seizure
✔✔Status Epilepticus - ✔✔Two or more seizures without an intervening period of
consciousness or a seizure lasting more than 30 minutes
✔✔AVPU - ✔✔Alert, Verbal, Pain, and Unresponsive
✔✔DCAP-BTLS - ✔✔Deformities, Contusions, Abrasions, Punctures or Penetration,
Burns, Tenderness, Lacerations, and Swelling
✔✔paradoxical breathing and tracheal deviation - ✔✔The motion of the injured segment
of a flail chest, opposite to the normal motion of the chest wall. The shift of the trachea
from the midline toward the unaffected side due to pressure buildup on the injured side
✔✔Inspect for DCAP-BTLS
Palpate spinal step-offs
Inspect for jugular vein distention (JVD)
Inspect to ensure tracheal is midline (without deviation) - ✔✔During a Rapid Trauma
Assessment these things should be inspected for when assessing the neck
✔✔smoke inhalation - ✔✔Dyspnea, coughing, breath that has a smoky smell, black
residue in any sputum coughed up by the casualty, and nose-hairs singed from super-
heated air
✔✔45 % body surface area (BSA) - ✔✔Using the Rule of Nines, what is the percentage
of BSA burned on a patient with burns to the anterior of chest, both arms, and head and
neck
