EMD 197 final exam
Components of Primary Assessment - ANS-General Impression (intro, whats the problem, sick
or not sick)
Assess Responsiveness (AVPU)
determine chief complaint/life threats
Check Airway, Breathing, Circulation (stop any bleeding if there is any) (ABC)
Identify Priority Patients, Update EMS
components of scene size up - ANS-Ensuring scene safety.
Identifying the MOI or nature of the illness.
Detecting the number of victims involved.
Determining the resources needed.
Components of Secondary Assessment - ANS-Physical examination, patient history (HPI and
PMHx), and vital signs
High quality adult CPR - ANS-Rate: 100 to 120 bpm
Compression to ventilation rate (1 rescuer): 30:2
Compression to ventilation rate (2 rescuers):
Depth: 2 to 2.4 inches
AED:
Ventilations: 1 second
High quality in fact CPR - ANS-Rate:
Compression to ventilation rate (1 rescuer):
Compression to ventilation rate (2 rescuers):
Depth:
AED:
Ventilations:
High quality pediatric CPR - ANS-Rate:
Compression to ventilation rate (1 rescuer):
Compression to ventilation rate (2 rescuers):
Depth:
AED:
Ventilations:
inadequate breathing signs - ANS-out of normal range, irregular rhythm, diminished breath
sounds, poor tidal volume
signs of inadequate breathing in infants and children - ANS-nasal flaring, grunting, seesaw
breathing, retractions
Structure of an infant's and child's airway differs from that of an adult - ANS-- smaller easily
obstructed airway
- larger tongues
- smaller, softer, more flexible trachea
- less developed, less rigid trachea
