Answers.
M.O.I. - > Mechanism of Injury, vehicles, falls etc.
what do you generally set oxygen to? - > 15L/M
How to open airway for a trauma victim? - > chin lift/jaw thrust
apneic - > not breathing
N.O.I - > nature of illness
AVPU - > Alert, verbal/vocal, pain, unconscious
skin CTC - > color,temperature, condition (normal is warm,pink and dry)
hypoperfusion - > Shock.... decreased delivery of oxygen and nutrients to cells)
OPQRST - > for conditions occuring right now (medical) Onset, Provocation,
quality,radiation, severity, time
Onset - > What were you doing when this happened? did it happen suddenly or
gradually? could ...... have caused this?
Provocation - > What makes your pain feel better or worse? does it hurt when you do
.........?
quality - > How would you describe your pain? what does your pain feel like?
radiation - > Where does it hurt the most? is it staying in one spot? where was it when the
pain started
severity - > on scale of 1 to 10 how bad is your pain?
,time - > how long has it been since the pain started?
signs versus symptoms - > signs: something you see
symptoms: something they tell you
nitroglycerin - > vasodilation of coronary arteries
What is first priority after personal safety? - > patient care
brady (root) - > below normal, slow
tachy (root) - > above normal, rapid
tachypnea - > rapid breathing
plegia - > paralysis of the limbs quadraplegia (four limbs) quad=4
bilateral - > both sides
dorsal/ventral - > dorsal: back of body
ventral: front of body
palmar/plantar - > palmar: palm of the hand
plantar: sole of the foot
where to place stethescope for lung sounds? - > mid-clavicular lines
fowler position - > sitting up
integumentary system - > forms protective barrier and aids in temperature regulation
(skin, hair, nails and sweat glands)
zygomatic - > bones that form the structure of the cheeks
proximate cause - > when what you did caused further harm.
,why would you use an emergency move? - > scene is unsafe, you must get to other
patients, care of life threatening injuries requires repositioning
when to use a urgent move? - > when patients condition is declining: backboarding,
removing from a car etc.
what side should you roll recovery position? - > left side
malleolus - > ankle bone
c1 and c2 - > atlas and axis
How many total vertebrae? - > 33
portions of skull - > frontal, occipital, temporal, parietal (sides)
calcaneous - > heel bone
normal respiratory rate for children and infants - > c: 15-30 I: 25-50
two major bones of the pelvis - > ilium (superior and widest) and ischium
epiglottis - > structure that prevents foreign matter from entering the trachea
larynx - > voice box
bronchi - > two large branches that come off the trachea
diaphragm - > muscular structure that divides the chest from the abdomen
ventalation vs respiration - > ventilation is moving gases between inhaled air and blood,
respiration is the moving of oxygen between blood and cells
what is the muscle of the heart? - > myocardium
, what is the pacemaker of the heart - > sinoatrial node (SA node)
exceptions to the veins= oxygen poor and arteries= oxygen rich rule - > the pulmonary
artery and pulmonary veins
liver - > produces bile, detoxifying
gallbladder - > stores bile from the liver
kidney - > filters blood and produces urine
ureters - > tubes connection kidney to the bladder
epididymis - > stores sperm
carpals - > wrist bones
patent airway= - > open airway
minute volume - > tidal volume*resiratory rate
hydrostatic pressure - > pushing of fluid out of the blood vessels
systemic vascular resistance (SVR) - > pressure that the heart must overcome to pump
blood into a specific system
stroke volume - > amount of blood ejected from the heart with one contraction
V/Q match - > ventilation perfusion match, optimum exchange of oxygen and carbon
dioxide
edema - > swelling, when water moves into the interstitial space
meningines - > protective layers of the brain and spinal chord
graves disease - > overproduction of thyroid hormone
