68W MODULE 5 EXAM RATE D A. Maintain or restore perfusion Answer -One of the main tenants of trauma care the supply of oxygen to and removal of wastes from the body's cells and tissues as a result of the flow of blood through the capillaries. Answer -
Perfusion the body's inability to adequately circulate blood to the body's cells to supply them with oxygen and nutrients. Shock Answer -Hypoperfusion Pump, V olume, Container Answer -PVC Carry oxygenated blood away from the heart Answer -Arteries Oxygen rich blood is emptied from the arteries into microscopically small _____, which supply every cell in the body. Answer -Capillaries Capillaries empty into veins, which carry blood back to the heart. Contain one-way valves that prevent the blood from flowing the wrong direction. Answer -Veins Bleeding, especially severe bleeding Answer -Hemorrhage Bleeding from an artery, which is characterized by bright red blood that is rapid, profuse, and difficult to control. Spurting, pulsating flow. Answer -
Arterial bleeding Bleeding from a vein, which is dark red or maroon. Steady, easy to control flow. Answer -Venous bleeding occurs where appendages of the body connect to the trunk. Neck, both armpits, and both sides of the groin are sites where massive bleeding is likely. Answer -Junctional Hemorrhage Characterized by slow, oozing flow of blood. Typically ceases without intervention. Sometimes occurs over large areas making infection a high risk. Answer -Capillary Bleeding Irregular heartbeat Answer -Atrial Fibrillation is the process of blood loss, to a degree sufficient to cause death. One does not have to lose all of one's blood to cause death. Answer -Exsanguination 1. Direct Pressure 2. Elevation of a limb 3. Hemostatic Agent 4. Tourniquet Answer -External Bleeding Can be done with gloved hand, a dressing, or by pressure dressing and bandage. Answer -Direct Pressure a bulky dressing held in position with a tightly wrapped bandage, which applies pressure to help control bleeding. Answer -Pressure Dressing Substances applied as powders, dressings, gauze, or bandages to open wounds to stop bleeding. Answer -Hemostatic Agents a device used for bleeding control that constricts all blood flow to and from extremity. Applied 2 inches above the bleeding wound. Answer -
Tourniquet Internal Cranial Pressure Answer -ICP Cerebral Spinal Fluid Answer -CSF Nose bleed Answer -Epistaxis Falls, motor -vehicle crashes, auto -pedestrian crashes, blast injuries. Answer -Mechanisms of Blunt Trauma Gunshot wounds, stab wounds (knife, ice pick, screwdriver), impaled objects Answer -Mechanisms of Penetrating Trauma Heart, blood vessels, blood Answer -Circulatory System
