Primary concern when a person cannot stop coughing/clearing their throat following house fire/smoke? - Airway/Intubate Lab evidence of cellular perfusion - Base Excess (Less than -6 is BAD) Multiple people are in the ER of different ages who all go to the same church. They all have the same symptoms. What is the most likely cause? - Biologic Suspected shock type with a spinal cord injury - Distributive Shock (Includes neurogenic) Patient has GCS of 3, unequal pupils (one sluggish, one blow...

Energy forces: Tension - forces stretch by pulling at opposite ends. Example: Tensile strength describes the tissues ability to resist pulling apart when stretched. Tendons, ligaments, and muscles can tear when they are overstretched (Achilles tendon) Energy Forces: Compression - Compression forces crush by squeezing together. Example: Injuries to organs occur when the organs are crushed from surrounding internal organs or structures such as a seat belt worn up across the abdomen, causing c...

Expedite transfer to the closest trauma center - A 56 y/o M involved in a MVC is brought to the ED. He complains of neck pain, SOB, and diffuse abdominal pain. His GCS is 15, VS: BP 98/71, HR 125, RR 26, SpO2 94% on high-flow O2 via NRB mask. Which is the priority intervention for this patient? a pertinent medical hx is crucial - Which of the following considerations is the most important when caring for a geriatric trauma pt? Mitigation - Following a review of recent drills and a real disa...
