COMPLETE QUESTIONS WITH VERIFIED
ANSWERS
◉ internal hemorrhage. Answer: Bleeding occurs inside the body
into tissues and body cavities. Pain, shock, vomiting blood, coughing
up blood, and loss of consciousness signal internal hmorrhage. Keep
person warm, flat, and quiet until medical help arrives. DO NOT give
fluids.
◉ Fluid resuscitation. Answer: - Replacement of the extensive fluid
and electrolyte losses associated with major burn injuries.
- Fluid replacement is initiated to those who are hemodynamically
unstable. A systolic of at least 90 (80 per PHTLS) should be the goal.
Caution with giving fluid should be taken into consideration to avoid
fluid overload (listen to lung sounds).
◉ Electrical Burns. Answer: - direct exposure to electricity
- Treat by shutting off current, approach only if safe, cool burn with
water, check breathing and for signs of bleeding, treat for shock, seek
medical attention
◉ true electrical burn. Answer: electric current goes through skin
and tissue, has enter and exit pathway, pathway becomes
, gsngreen/neurotic within a few days, follows pathway of least
resistance
◉ TASER effects. Answer: devices used as a conducted electrical
weapon
◉ Arc-Type or Flash Burn. Answer: - electrothermal injury causes
the the arching of electric current
- working with a tool/tool is sometimes vaporized, realizing heat,
which leaves an imprint or shadow on pts body
◉ flame burn. Answer: - A burn caused by an open flame.
- occurs when electricity ignites a person's clothing or surroundings.
◉ Management of burns. Answer: -Stop the burning to prevent
further injury
-Treat the patients injuries
-Separate patient from burn source
-Correct any ABCD-related problems
-15 LPM with nonrebreather to patients able to breathe on their
own
-Control external bleeding
-Remove charred clothing and any jewelry (if clothing has melted
and fused to px just cut away what you can but don't tear)
