DAANCE: all modules
Class IV - ✔✔Patient has a severe, life threatening systemic disorder.
pulmonary veins and arteries - ✔✔Your pulmonary veins are the only veins in your body that carry
oxygen-rich blood. All your other veins carry oxygen-poor blood.
Similarly, your pulmonary arteries are the only arteries that carry oxygen-poor blood. All the rest of your
arteries carry oxygen-rich blood.
Class V - ✔✔Patient is moribund with little chance of survival. Surgery is done in desperation.
Pulmonary artery - ✔✔One of two arteries that carry venous (oxygen poor) blood from heart to lungs.
What type of intubation is preferred with emesis with aspiration? - ✔✔ETT, LMA or combitube
acceptable.
What emergency would a cricothyrotomy be performed? - ✔✔Airway obstruction
Atropine would be given in which emergency? - ✔✔Symptomatic bradycardia
Adenosine would be given in which emergency? - ✔✔SVT
Amiodarone would be given in which emergency? - ✔✔V. Tach
What medications can be given for a severe case of hyperventilation? - ✔✔Versed, Valium, or Propofol
PVC's are treated with which medicine? - ✔✔Lidocaine
Epi is given in which two emergencies? - ✔✔V. Fib and asystole
,Max dose of epi for cardiovascular disease pt - ✔✔0.04mg
A beta blocker would be given in which emergency? - ✔✔Hypertension
A fluid bolus of NS and ephedrine can be given with what emergency? - ✔✔Hypotension
What medications are used to treat malignant hypothermia? - ✔✔Dantrolene, IV cold saline (not
Ringer's)
Nasopharyngeal airway - ✔✔When tongue is obstructing airway. Tube is lubricated and passed through
the nose into nasal cavity. Sits in oropharynx behind tongue. Well tolerated and can be used on awake
pts.
Oropharyngeal airway - ✔✔Also placed to position tongue in more anterior position. Often interfere
with intra oral procedures. Not tolerated well with awake pts.
Laryngeal mask airway (LMA) - ✔✔Device that sits over top of larynx. Can be placed blindly. Does not
protect against aspiration. Inflated with 30cc to create seal.
Endotracheal intubation - ✔✔End of tube passes through vocal cords and terminates half way between
vocal cords and bifurcation of trachea. Important to listen to both lungs after placement. May or May
not be cuffed.
Combitube - ✔✔Generally used for specific emergencies. Both cuffs inflated.
Which patients are predisposed to bronchospasm - ✔✔Allergies, asthma, copd, bronchitis
Bronchospasm - ✔✔Generalized contraction of smooth muscles of small bronchi and bronchioles in
lungs causing restriction of air flow of air to and from lungs.
,Maximum dose of epi for healthy pt - ✔✔0.2mg
Liver - ✔✔Protein and lipid synthesis, bio transformation, detoxification and storage of vitamin A, E, D, K,
and B12.
Causes of seizures - ✔✔Liver failure, renal failure, sickle cell disease, brain tumor, meningitis, previous
stroke and hypo-hyperglycemia.
Medications to treat seizures - ✔✔Tegretol, Klonopin, Neurontin, luminal, Dilantin, depacon
Main function of kidneys - ✔✔Maintain volume and composition of body fluids. Body's main source of
filtration and excrete metabolic end products and toxins.
Islets of langerhans - ✔✔Located in pancreas. Secrete insulin and glucagon. Insulin helps the body store
sugar to keep glucose levels in a steady state.
Adrenal glands - ✔✔Secretes epinephrine and norepinephrine. Controls electrolyte balance and carb
metabolism.
Thyroid - ✔✔Regulates body's basal metabolic rate.
Pterygoid plexus - ✔✔Network of veins corresponding to 2nd and 3rd parts of maxillary artery
Olfactory nerve - ✔✔1st cranial nerve that controls smell
Optic nerve - ✔✔2nd cranial nerve that controls sight
Internal jugular vein - ✔✔Drains much of blood from head and neck
, Purkinje fiber system - ✔✔Causes muscles of heart to contract. Spreads impulse rapidly along heart
muscle.
Brachiocephalic artery - ✔✔Branches into right common carotid artery in the neck and into the right
subclavian artery in arm.
Hematocrit - ✔✔% blood volume made up of red blood cells.
Men: 42-52% women: 35-45%.
Anything below 35% considered anemic.
Mental artery - ✔✔Supplies blood to the chin.
Ischemia - ✔✔Reduced blood flow in coronary arteries.
deficiency of blood to a body part due to functional constriction or obstruction of a blood vessel.
Lack of oxygen to heart cells weakens, but does not kill them.
Maxillary artery - ✔✔Supplies blood to maxilla, teeth, sinuses, and portion of nose.
Medulla oblongata - ✔✔Coordinating region for impulses.
The seat of many autonomic centers. - contains vital centers that control such physiologic processes as
maintenance of blood pressure and pulse and respiration etc.
Normal levels of hemoglobin - ✔✔Males: 14-18 mg/dL
