Paramedic Trauma FISDAP Exam Save
Terms in this set (139)
The pressure in the aorta or the peripheral vascular resistance,
against which the left ventricle must pump blood. The greater
Afterload
the afterload, the harder it is for the ventricle to eject blood
into the aorta.
Common injuries include abrasions to the face, chest and arms.
Airbag Injuries Minor corrosive effects can occur because of the cornstarch on
the airbag, and it may irritate the skin.
, The motorcycle strikes an object, or another vehicle at an angel
Angular Impact in Motorcycle
so that the rider sustains direct crushing injuries to the lower
Crashes
extremity between the object and motorcycle.
Place a dry, sterile dressing on it. If its
gross contaminated, you may have to
Animal Bite
irrigate it before placing a dressing.
When air enters into the pulmonary vasculature, air bubbles can
enter a coronary artery and cause a myocardial injury. These
Arterial Air Embolism
can cause changes in vision, changes in behavior, changes in
LOC.
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.
, Periorbital ecchymosis (racoon eyes),
battle sign (ecchymosis behind the
Basilar Skull Fracture
ears).
Characterized by irregular rate,
pattern, and volume of breathing with
Biots Respirations
intermittent periods of apnea.
Refers to injuries in which the tissues
are not penetrated by an external
Blunt Trauma
object.
The body will tolerate only how In an adult, the body will only tolerate 20% blood loss, which is
much blood loss in an adult? approx 1 Liter.
Central Nervous System Consists of the brain and spinal cord.
Chemical Burns Flush the area off with water, remove pt's clothing & jewelry.
Flush the affected eye out with copious amounts of water. If the
pt wears contact lenses, remove the contact lenses. After
Chemicals in the Eye
irrigating with water, patch the pt's eyes with lightly applied
dressings.
Respirations that are fast and then
become slow, with intervening
Cheyne- Stokes Respirations
periods of apnea. Common in people
with head injuries/ICP.
