NREMT Advanced-EMT
Decreased Afterload Effects
Decreased Arteriole Pressure = Decreased Aortic Pressure = Left Ventricle Works Better
Cushing's Triad
SxS of Increased Intracranial Pressure
Increased Systolic Pressure
Widened Pulse Pressure
Decreased Pulse and Respiratory Rate
PAT: Pediatric Assessment Triangle
General Appearance
Work of Breathing
Circulation to the Skin
Beck's Triad
Indicates Cardiac Tamponade
HoTN, JVD, Muffled Heart Tones
Tuberculosis SxS
Weight Loss, Hemoptysis(Coughing Blood), Pyrexia(Fever)
Apneustic Respirations
Prolonged inspirations with brief useless expirations. Cause by way of damage to the Upper
Pons - stroke or trauma.
Biot's Respirations
Quick/shallow suggestion accompanied via periods of apnea. Caused by way of harm to the
Pons - stroke, trauma or opioid use.
Murphy's Sign
Pain of palpation of RUQ, causes patient to gasp. Indicative of gallbladder inflammation -
cholecystitis/gallstones.
, McBurney's Point
RLQ Pain - Indicates Appendicitis
RUQ - Organs
Liver, Gallbladder, Colon (Portion)
LUQ - Organs
Spleen, Stomach
RLQ - Organs
Ascending Colon, Cecum, Appendix, Small Intestine (Portion)
LLQ - Organs
Descending Colon, Sigmoid Colon, Small Intestine (Portion)
Most Damaging Radiation Type
Gamma Radiation
Arterial Muscle
More prominent the venous musculature.
Starling's Law
As cardiac muscle fibers are stretched, they may be capable of contract with extra force.
The greater the preload, the greater the pressure of contraction.
Septic Shock - SxS
AMS, elevated HR, accelerated RR, feverish with flushed pores and skin.
Decontamination Steps
Reduce Toxin Intake
Reduce Absorption of Toxin
Increase Elimination of Toxin
