MIST Correct Ans - Prehospital report:
M - MOI
I - injury
S - Signs/sx
T - treatment
DOPE Correct Ans - Ventilator troubleshooting
D - Displacement
O - obstruction
P - pneumothorax
E - equipment failure
pneumothorax Correct Ans - air in the pleural cavity caused by a
puncture of the lung or chest wall
tension pneumothorax Correct Ans - A life-threatening collection of
air within the pleural space; the volume and pressure have both collapsed
the involved lung and caused a shift of the mediastinal structures to the
opposite side.
*tracheal deviation to the opposite side*
- hypotension
- JVD
, needle decompression Correct Ans - What is needed to fix a
pneumo/tension pneumo?
*between 2-3 intercostal mid clavicular*
OR
*between 4-5 intercostal midaxillary*
cardiac tamponade Correct Ans - acute compression of the heart
caused by fluid accumulation in the pericardial cavity
cardiac tamponade treatment Correct Ans - pericardiocentesis
chest tube Correct Ans - If needle decompression is done, What
must follow?
lung sounds Correct Ans - How would RN differentiate between
tension pneumo and cardiac tamponade?
LMA Correct Ans - laryngeal mask airway. NOT a definitive airway
unless ET tube is placed through.
definitive airway Correct Ans - A tube placed in the trachea with
the cuff inflated *below the vocal cords*, the tube connected to a form of
