Paramedic Trauma FISDAP Exam Save
Terms in this set (58)
Monitors the body's needs from moment to moment, adjusting
the blood flow as required. Maintains homeostasis & is divided
Autonomic Nervous System
into the parasympathetic & sympathetic components that
oppose each other and keep vital functions in balance.
The body responds to a decrease in CPP by increasing the
MAP. Resulting in cerebral vasodilation and increased cerebral
Autoregulation
blood flow. However, this is a vicious cycle cause it actually
increases ICP.
, Occurs when the toes move upward
in response to stimulation of the sole
Babinkski Reflex of the foot. Under normal
circumstances, the toes move
downward.
Characterized by irregular rate,
pattern, and volume of breathing with
Biots Respirations
intermittent periods of apnea.
Chemical Burns Flush the area off with water, remove pt's clothing & jewelry.
Respirations that are fast and then
become slow, with intervening
Cheyne- Stokes Respirations
periods of apnea. Common in people
with head injuries/ICP.
Caused by a impact to the chest right where the heart is. It puts
the heart into cardiac arrest. Happens to athletes, esp when
Commotio Cordis
playing sports. You may see chest wall contusions, and
localized bruising. The Pt will be apneic and pulseless.
Compensated Shock (Phase 1) Tachycardia, NORMAL BP, thirst, anxiety, clammy/cool skin.
Front and rear injury. Brain slams into the front of the skull, and
Coup Contrecoup
then slams into the back end of the skull.
Cushing Due to ICP. Signs are- increased BP, decreased HR & irregular
Reflex/Response/Syndrome respirations (Biots breathing!).
