When should you use a NRM and at what flow rate? -
O
ANSWER-Use when patent needs oxygen but can breath
on their own and is getting sufficient tidal volume and O2
T
percent, flow rate of 10-15 lpm
C
O
When should you use a bag-valve mask and at what flow
rate? - ANSWER-Use when patient is unconscious and
PY
not breathing adequately or isn't getting enough O2 or has
stopped breathing, use 10-15 lpm, if patient is breathing
less than 12 times a min or more than 24 use BVM and
check to see if it's working by looking at rise and fall of
chest
After your paramedic partner has intubated an adult
cardiac arrest patient, you are providing ventilations as a
,firefighter performs chest compressions. When ventilating
the patient, you should? - ANSWER-Deliver each breathe
over 1 second at a rate of 8 to 10 breathes per minute
When an advanced airway is in place, there is no pause in
chest compressions to deliver breaths.
Most severe dysrhythmia of the heart - ANSWER-Asystole
D
O
Asystole - ANSWER-indicates no electrical activity in the
heart
N
O
PEA - ANSWER-indicates some residual electrical activity
within the heart, but not enough for a pulse
T
C
Ventricular fibrillation - ANSWER-shockable rhythm, heart
O
rhythm problem that occurs when the heart beats with
PY
rapid, erratic electrical impulses. This causes pumping
chambers in your heart (the ventricles) to quiver uselessly,
instead of pumping blood.
Ventricular tachycardia - ANSWER-shockable rhythm, in
which the lower chambers of your heart (ventricles) beat
very quickly because of a problem in your heart's electrical
system.
, your heart may not be able to pump enough blood to your
body and lungs because the chambers are beating so fast
that they don't have time to properly fill.

pressure
3 sings
1. Brachicardia

ANSWERencourage to cough, heimlich is only performed
on complete obstructions
C
O
Infant respiratory rate - ANSWER-25-50
PY
Bradycardia - ANSWER-The condition of having a slow
heartbeat, defined as under 60 beats per minute for an
adult.
Hypertension - ANSWER-progressively increasing systolic
blood pressure, leading to widening pulse pressure
Mediastinum - ANSWER-Region in mammals including
, the thoracic area just not the lungs, so the heart the
trachea, the thymus gland are all included in it
What are the two methods for opening the airway of an
unconscious patient?
When would you use one over the other? - ANSWER-
Jawthrust and head-tilt chin-lift spine injury
D
What is the main complication of suctioning the airway for
O
more than 10 seconds? - ANSWER-Could lead to hypoxia
N
O
What flow rate for a nasal cannula and when should it be
used - ANSWER-Flow rate: 1-6 lpm
T
When it's used: Nasal cannulas are used to deliver oxygen
C
when a low flow, low or medium concentration is required,
O
and the patient is in a stable state.
PY
How would you ventilate a patient who has a Stoma? -
ANSWER-If there is a tracheostomy tube in place put the
BVM on that and ventilate (after taking mask off) if no tube
put a special mask over the stoma and if you don't have a
special tracheostomy stoma mask use a child or infant
BVM mask cover nose and mouth
