whole blood provides _______________________
epithelial cells for O2 transport
platelets
, coagulation factors
trauma patients with a weak radial pulse are ___ times more likely to die than patients with
a normal pulse
15 times more likely
well, in route to the hospital, you managed to put an 18 gauge IV in the right arm. Your
patient is still confused, and you still have no radio pulse. Your next move is to:
A. give 1-L fluid bolts
B. give one 250-mL fluid bolus, and then stop
C. give fluid until you get a radial pulse
D. administer TXA
C. give fluid until you get a radial pulse
Now is the time to titrate IV fluids to restore tissue perfusion. Giving 1 L blindly
could overshoot your target pressure and reinforce internal bleeding. TXA is
not a priority, although it can run parallel fluids.
Which of the following is the basis on which a patient's chance of survival is maximized?
A. Preferences
, B. Phases
C. Principles
D. Transport
C. Principles
The science of medicine provides the principles of medical care. Simply
stated, principles define the duties required of the prehospital care
practitioner in optimizing patient survival and outcome.

when SpO2 falls below ____% the effectiveness of oxygen delivery to the tissues can
deteriorate rapidly
Give this one a try later!
