✔✔Urgent Moves - ✔✔1. shoulder drag
2. underarm wrist drag
3. blanket drag
4. feet drag
**for dangerous situations, rapid transport, usually a drag
✔✔Non-urgent Moves - ✔✔human crutch, two person assist, chair carry, fore and aft
carry
✔✔Power Grip - ✔✔hands palm up 10 inches apart, firm grasp, loop thumb over fingers
✔✔Power Lift - ✔✔feet shoulder width apart, bend knees and squat, straight back,
power grip
✔✔Other lifts - ✔✔1. extremity lift
2. direct ground?
,3. BEAN (body elevation and non-movement)
4. drawsheet
✔✔Positions - ✔✔1. semi Folwer, sitting at 45° (awake, not serious)
2. high Folwer, sitting at 90° (breathing problems)
3. supine (flat on back - spinal-)
4. Rothburg, upper at 45°, hips flexed at 15° to elevate legs (heart attack)
5. Trendelenburg, head is 15° below body (shock)
✔✔Transport - ✔✔Injury uphill unless...
1. breathing, head uphill
2. shock, downhill
3. serious head injury, uphill
✔✔Helicopter - ✔✔100ft * 100ft, no more than 8° slope, only landing coordinator, good
communication, remain in pilot's field of vision
✔✔Shock - ✔✔4 types:
1. Hypovolemic, from internal/external bleeding
2. Cardiogenic, heart cannot adequately pump blood
3. Distributive, blood vessels lose ability to constrict
4. obstructive, blood clots prevent blood from reaching vital organs
✔✔Chapter 18 (soft tissue injuries) - ✔✔
✔✔Epidermis - ✔✔outer layer that acts as watertight protective covering
✔✔Dermis - ✔✔inner layer, contains major structures of skin: collagen, blood vessels,
nerve endings, sweat glands, sensory receptors, hair follicles
✔✔Subcontaneous Tissue - ✔✔between dermis and muscle, contains fat, nerves, blood
vessels
✔✔Skin - ✔✔1. protects
2. regulates temperature
3. maintains water balance
4. vitamin D
✔✔Closed Injuries - ✔✔1. contusions, cells/blood vessels are torn, leak into
surrounding tissue, ecchymosis (bruise)
2. hematoma, extravascular collection of blood thats confined to an area, subungial
(beneath nail)
3. crush, can lead to compartment syndrome, where swelling of muscle cuts off
circulation
, ✔✔Open Injuries - ✔✔1. abrasions, grated off
2. incision, clean edges
3. laceration, jagged edges
4. avulsion, separation of tissue, flap
5. amputation, complete or nearly complete separation of body parts
6. punctures, results in impaled object
✔✔Burns SAY WHAT EACH LOOKS LIKE - ✔✔1. Chemical
2. Thermal
3. electrical
4. radiation
✔✔Dressing - ✔✔used for covering and protecting
✔✔Bandage - ✔✔Used for wrapping or binding
✔✔Direct Pressure - ✔✔dressing and then pressure
✔✔Tourniquet - ✔✔applied proximal to wound, no blood flow
✔✔Exsanguination - ✔✔process of bleeding to death
✔✔Universal Dressing - ✔✔12x30, absorbant, pudding
✔✔Contusions - ✔✔RICES
-- rest, ice, compression, elevation, splint
✔✔Open Manage - ✔✔control bleeding, wash/irrigate, dress, secure, splint
✔✔Types of Dressings - ✔✔1. pressure
2. occlusive (for compromised airway)
3. stabilizing (for impaled object)
4. hemostatic (helps to clot)
✔✔Chapter 21 (head and spine injuries) - ✔✔
✔✔Central Nervous System (CNS) - ✔✔contains the brain and spinal cord
✔✔Traumatic Brain Injury (TBI) - ✔✔physical trauma, can be localized or diffuse
✔✔Brain - ✔✔Contains:
1. cerebrum, higher functioning
2. cerebellum, coordination and balance
3. brainstem, involuntary (heart, breathing)
