ust keep evaluating - vipp - What does the J stand for at the end of the secondary survery? vital signs, injuries/interventions, primary survey, pain - What does VIPP stand for? flank - During the head-to-toe, where would you find Grey-Turner's sign? umbilicus - During the head-to-toe, where would you find Cullen's sign? inspecting posterior - What is sometimes deferred at the end of the head-to-toe? AFTER head-to-toe, BEFORE J (VIPP) - Antibiotics, consults, head CT, imaging, law enforce...

An adult pt who sustained a severe head trauma has been intubated and is being manually ventilated via a bag-mask device at a rate of 18 breaths/minute. The pt has received one intravenous fluid bolus of 500 mL of warmed isotonic crystalloid solution. the PaCO2 is 30mmHg (4.0 kPa), and the pulse oximetry is 92%. BP is 142/70 mmHg. What is the most important intervention to manage the cerebral blood flow? Decrease the rate of manual ventilation An older adult presents to the emergency depart...

C What are the primary benefits of a team approach to trauma care - it provides a systemic approach to care and organizes care A In the primary survey AVPU is performed to determine if the patient can: - Protect their aiway B WHich may lead to unreliable pulse ox reading - carboxyhemoglobin A The systemic inflammatory response is a normal part of the body's response to shock from traumatic injury. what best describes this response - it is activated by tissue hypoxia and sends neutrophils ...

Biomechanics - is the general study of forces and their effects kinematics - the study of energy transfer as it applies to identifying actual or potential injuries Mechanism of Injury (MOI) - is how external forces are transferred to the body, resulting in injury Newton's First Law - a body at rest will stay at rest unless acted on by an outside force Newton's Second Law - Force = mass x acceleration Newton's Third Law - For every action there is an equal and opposite reaction Law of Co...

1.What is the effect of hypothermia on the oxyhemoglobin dissociation curve - Hemoglobin does not readily release oxygen for use by the tissues A shift to the left occurs in an environment of low metabolic demand (hypothermia, hypocapnia, alkalosis), increasing hemoglobin's affinity for oxygen. EMS arrives with the intoxicated driver of a car involved in a motor vehicle crash. EMS reports significant damage to the driver's side of the car. The patient is asking to have the cervical collar ...

Major cause of death 1-44 - Trauma: major cause of death for people ages 1-44 years Epidemiology: Unintentional injury is a leading cause of death across all age groups in the US - • 65+ falls are the leading cause of injury-related deaths • 25-64: poisoning is the leading cause of death • 5-24: MVC leading cause of death • TBI: more for males, 0-4 highest rate of death Injury prevention: 3 E's - • Engineering: technological interventions (airbags, alarms, safety gear) • Enfo...

What is the key to a high performing trauma team? - x When obtaining a history for an injured patient, determing energy transfer through biochemical data help the nurse to: - x The major preventable cause of death in the trauma patient is: - x The across-the-room observation step in the inital assessment provides the opportunity to: - x Which of the following accurately describes ventilation principles associated with a bag-mask device? - x Which of the following is the best measure of th...

What is the key to a high performing trauma team? - Consistent communication (Communication, cooperation, and coordination are the foundations of successful teamwork in trauma care p.6) When obtaining a history for an injured patient, determining energy transfer through biomechanical data helps the nurse to: - Anticipate the types of injury that may be present (Mechanism of injury and energy transfer can help predict potential injuries and injury patterns p.29) The major preventable cause ...
