1. Polycythemia is a rare blood disorder that causes the bone marrow to produce too many red
blood cells, which thickens the blood and slows its flow. This can lead to serious
problems, such as blood clots, strokes, or tissue
S/S
Dizziness
Headache
Itchiness, especially after a warm bath or shower
Sweating more than usual, sometimes at night
Shortness of breath or difficulty breathing when lying down
Tiredness
Brief vision problems, like seeing flashes
2. Hematocrit is a blood test that measures the percentage of red blood cells
Normal range in adults
Men: 41-50%
Women: 36-44%
Normal range for PEDs
Newborn: 45-61%
Infant: 32-42%

What is RAMP Rapid Assessment of Mentation and Pulse (RAMP)
triage
Green: Delayed
Red: Urgent
Black: Expectant/deceased
5. JumpSTART A sorting system for pediatric patients younger than 8 years or who appear to
triage weigh less than 100 pounds ( 45 kg ) . Infants or children not developed enough
to walk or follow commands ( including children with special needs ) should be
taken as soon as possible to the treatment group for immediate secondary triage
.
6. What is START START triage, or Simple Triage and Rapid Treatment, is a quick method for cate-
triage gorizing casualties into four groups based on their injury severity during a mass
casualty incident (MCI):
Ablity to walk, mental status, breathing, and perfusion
Those who have RR <10 or >30, pulse >100, or altered mental
Minor: Green tag, relatively minor injuries
Delayed: Yellow tag, transport can be delayed
Immediate: Red tag, can be helped by immediate intervention and transport
Expectant: Black tag
7. What is SALT SALT (Sort, Assess, Lifesaving Interventions, Treatment/Transport) is a triage
triage method for mass casualties that was developed by a CDC-sponsored working
group. It's intended to be a standardized initial triage standard for all patients
in all-hazards situations, and is designed to be easily incorporated into existing
protocols. SALT is similar to the START (Simple Triage and Rapid Treatment)
system, but it's more comprehensive and includes basic life-saving techniques
during triage.

13. bohr effect a decrease in the amount of oxygen associated with hemoglobin and other
respiratory compounds in response to a lowered blood pH resulting from an
increased concentration of carbon dioxide in the blood.
Think of the Bohr effect like a seesaw: when carbon dioxide levels go up (acidic
environment), oxygen levels on hemoglobin go down, making it harder for oxygen
to be delivered to tissues.
