Q
minute volume
A
tidal volume x respiratory rate
air moving in and out of the lungs in one minute
24
respiratory dysfunction
when anything interferes with tidal volume or respiratory rate
25
4 parts of blood
1. plasma (liquid)
2. red blood cells (oxygen)
3. white blood cells (fight infection)
4. platelets (clot)
26
heart flow
lungs>pulmonary vein (O2 blood)>left atrium>left ventricle>body via aorta>right atrium (non O2 blood)>right atrium>right ventricle>lungs via pulmonary artery
27
hypovolemia
blood dysfunction (less blood, less gas exchange)
28
anemia
fewer red blood cells, less gas exchange

arteries
30
toward heart
veins
31
automaticity

central/core of body
carotid
femoral
34
PNS
peripheral nervous system
sensory nerves and motor nerves
35
CNS
central nervous system
brain and spinal chord
36
sensory nerves
can they feel?
messages from body to brain
37
motor nerves
can they move?
messages from brain to body
38
sagittal/median planes
slice body down the middle to create identical halves side by side
39
frontal or coronal planes
slice body to create front and back halves
40
midline
line between eyes down to naval
41
bilateral
on both sides
42
medial
closer to midline
43
lateral

in loco parentis
"in place of the parents"

58
pelvis/extremities
DCAP-BTLS
priapism
distal circulation, sensation, and motor function
if you feel any movement, stop and treat pelvis as unstable
59
priapism
semi-erection caused by spinal trauma
60
masses
specific areas of the belly that are swollen (pay attention if they are pulsating)
61
chest/abdomen
DCAP-BTLS
equal rise and fall of chest using butterfly hands
paradoxical motion
lung sounds (2 mid clavicular and 2 mid axillary on both sides)
distention (swelling, masses)
rigidity
62
step offs
shifted vertebrae in the neck (walk fingers down the spinal column)
63
in addition to DCAPBTLS, look for ....
CSF
Unequal pupils
JVD
64
CSF
cerebrospinal fluid
HALO TEST (head injuries only) -dab blood onto a 4x4 and if a yellow halo forms around it, then it is CSF
65
cervical collars
only significant mechanisms of injury
put collar on after checking clavicle
