What are some patient conditions that contraindicate the use of certain neuromuscular blockers? - Renal impairment, burns, crush injuries, denervation, neuromuscular disease, and prolonged abdominal sepsis due to the risk of life-threatening hyperkalemia. What is the role of acetylcholine (ACh) at the neuromuscular junction? - ACh binds to nicotinic receptors to initiate muscle contraction. What is the significance of competitive antagonists in neuromuscular blocking? - They prevent depola...

What is the clinical challenge when intubating asthma or COPD patients? - Intubation is challenging due to breath stacking, volume depletion, acidosis, and cardiovascular disease. What is the recommended I:E time adjustment for asthma or COPD patients? - Adjust the I:E time to 1:4 or 1:5 to prevent air trapping. What technique is suggested for managing severe breath stacking in patients? - Disconnect them from the ventilator and push on their chest to help them fully exhale. What are the f...

Therapeutic index - Ratio of toxic dose to therapeutic dose (higher = safer) Potency - Amount of drug needed for a given effect Efficacy - Maximum effect a drug can produce Agonist - Activates receptor and mimics endogenous signal Antagonist - Blocks receptor and prevents signal Affinity - Strength of drug-receptor binding Tolerance - Decreased response to same dose over time Dependence - Physiological need for a substance

Bag-Valve-Mask (BVM) - A self-inflating bag used to provide positive pressure ventilation. PEEP valve - Should be used with a BVM to improve oxygenation. Endotracheal Tube (ETT) - A tube inserted into the trachea to maintain an open airway. Beveled Tip and Murphy's Eye - Facilitate passage through the vocal cords and provide an alternate pathway for gas flow. Cuff and Pilot Balloon - Seal the airway and allow for monitoring of cuff inflation. 15mm Connector - Standard size for connectin...

Cell membrane - The cellular structure that regulates the movement of substances into and out of the cell. Active transport - The type of transport that requires energy (ATP) to move substances against a concentration gradient. Osmosis - The process that allows water molecules to move across a semipermeable membrane from a region of lower solute concentration to higher concentration. Facilitated diffusion - An example of passive transport. Endocytosis - The uptake of substances into a cel...

Medication error action - Document the error and inform medical control immediately. Aseptic technique importance - To prevent infection and contamination. Pediatric medication consideration - Calculate the dosage based on the child's weight. Narcotics administration step - Double-check the dosage with another healthcare provider. Medication Vial Disposal - Place them in a sharps container to prevent injury and contamination. Medication Dosage Uncertainty - Consult medical control or ref...

Paramedics advised - Not to erase information or scribble the error. Error in handwritten report - Should be underlined and bold. Third leading cause of death in U.S. - Medical errors EMT Voluntary Event Notification Tool - An anonymous and confidential system aimed to identify flawed processes and systems that require improvement. Addendum - A document added to provide important information that was initially omitted. Legal implications of lost reports - They pose huge legal implications ...

What is Primary Prevention in injury prevention? - Stops injuries/illnesses before they happen (e.g., vaccination, helmet safety programs). What is Secondary Prevention in injury prevention? - Measures taken after an event to prevent it from getting worse (e.g., splinting a fracture, administering aspirin for a heart attack). What are the 4 Es of Prevention? - Education (informing the public about risks), Enforcement (laws and regulations), Engineering/Environment (passive interventions), E...

Facilitated diffusion - Facilitated diffusion is an example of passive transport. Endocytosis - Endocytosis is the uptake of substances into a cell by engulfing them. Carrier proteins - Carrier proteins help move molecules across the membrane without energy. Cellular respiration - The organelle primarily responsible for cellular respiration is the mitochondrion. ATP - ATP serves as the primary energy carrier in cells. Glycolysis - To break down glucose for ATP production Anaerobic respira...
