FPC trauma
Newtons first law - ANS-Inertia: Object in motion remains unless acted on by an outside force
Newton's second law - ANS-Acceleration is dependent on the mass of the object and force upon
the object
Newton's third law - ANS-For every action, there is an equal and opposite reaction

second)
RTS: Revised trauma scoring range?
Know how to calculate - ANS-0-12

compensation? - ANS-HR increases
SVR increases
CO drops
Trauma triad of death - ANS-Hypothermia
