-TRAUMA PRACTICE TEST (EMT--BASIC REVIEW
MANUAL FOR NATIONAL CERTIFICATION PRACTICE
TESTS TRAUMA) LATEST
Most severe dysrhythmia of the heart ......ANSWER........Asystole
Asystole ......ANSWER........indicates no electrical activity in the
heart
PEA ......ANSWER........indicates some residual electrical activity
within the heart, but not enough for a pulse
Ventricular fibrillation ......ANSWER........shockable rhythm, heart
rhythm problem that occurs when the heart beats with rapid,
erratic electrical impulses. This causes pumping chambers in your
heart (the ventricles) to quiver uselessly, instead of pumping
blood.
,Page 2 of 92
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.
Cushing's triad ......ANSWER........Sing of increased intracranial
pressure
3 sings
1. Brachicardia
2. hypertension
3. Altered respirations
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
,Page 3 of 92
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.
An airway that is not completely obstructed
......ANSWER........encourage to cough, heimlich is only performed
on complete obstructions
Infant respiratory rate ......ANSWER........25-50
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
, Page 4 of 92
What are the two methods for opening the airway of an
unconscious patient?
When would you use one over the other? ......ANSWER........Jaw-
thrust and head-tilt chin-lift
spine injury
What is the main complication of suctioning the airway for more
than 10 seconds? ......ANSWER........Could lead to hypoxia
What flow rate for a nasal cannula and when should it be used
......ANSWER........Flow rate: 1-6 lpm
When it's used: Nasal cannulas are used to deliver oxygen when
a low flow, low or medium concentration is required, and the
patient is in a stable state.
When should you use a NRM and at what flow rate?
......ANSWER........Use when patent needs oxygen but can breath
on their own and is getting sufficient tidal volume and O2
percent, flow rate of 10-15 lpm
