Chapter 22 Flashcards
Shoulder (90 cards)
Shoulder Joint Articulations
Sternoclavicular (SC) joint
Acromioclavicular (AC) joint Glenohumeral (GH) joint Scapulothoracic joint
Emergency Action Plan
Primary concerning is maintaining cardiovascular and CNS Function
Parent Notification
With no consent, consent implied on part of athlete to save athletes life
Primary Survey
Initial
- Performed initially to establish presense of life-threatining conditions
- Airway, breathing, circulation, shock and severe bleeding
Dealing with Unconscious athlete
Check and establish an airway, breathing, circulation ABC
When should ABC should be stablished
With athlete supine and not breathing
If athletes unconscious and not breathing
Nothing should be done until consciousness resumes.
How to deal with unconscious athlete
-life threatening condition ruled out. Gather specific info about injury. Assess vital signs & perform more detailed evaluation of conditions that doesn’t pose life threatening consequences
Open Airway
head tilt, chin lift method. Push down on forehead & lifting jaw moves tongue from back of throat. Modified technique can be used when neck injury is suspected. Modify jaw thrust maneuver
Establishing breathing
look, listen, feel. While maintaining pressure on forehead, pinch nose, hold head back. Take deep breath, create seal around lips & perform 2 slow breaths (raise chest 1.5-2 in). IF breath doesn’t go in, retilt head & ventilate or airway obstructed = compression & finger sweep
Establishing circulation
located carotid artery & palpate pulse while maintaining head tilt position. Locate margin of ribs & xiphoid process. 2 fingers width above xiphoid process, place heal of hand on lower portion of sternum. Keep elbows locked, shoulders above patient. Compress 1.5-2 in (30 s per 2 breaths). After 5 cycles reassess pulse (if not present, continue cycle)
Supplemental Oxygen
requires use of bag valve mask & pressurized container of O2. Training required. Provides patient w/ significantly high concentration of O2(up to 90%). Deliver at rate of 10-15 L/minAED→ evaluates heart rhythms of victims experiencing cardiac arrest. Can deliver electrical charge to heart. Fully automated -minimal training required.Electrodes placed at right apex & left base of chest-when turned on, machine indicates if & when defibrillation necessary
How to control external breathing
-stems from skin wounds, abrasions, incisions, lacerations, punctures or avulsions-direct pressure → firm pressure (hand & sterile gauze) placed directly over site of injury against the bone. Evaluation, Pressure points
Types of Shock - Hypovolemic
Decrease blood volume = poor O2 transport
Types of Shock - Respiratory
lungs unable to supply enough O2 to circulating blood (pnenmothoarax?)
Types of Shock - Neurogenic
caused by general vessel dilation which doesn’t allow typical 5-6 L of blood to fill system, decreasing O2 transport
Types of Shock - Cardiogenic
inability of heart to pump enough blood
Types of Shock - Psychogenic-syncope
Psychogenic-syncope or fainting caused by temporary dilation of vessels reducing blood flow to the brain
Types of Shock - Septic
result of bacterial infection where toxins cause smaller vessels to dilate
Types of Shock - Anaphylactic
results of severe allergic reaction
Types of Shock - Metabolic
occurs when illness goes untreated (diabetes) or when extensive fluid loss
Signs and Symptoms of Shock
Moist, pale, cold, clammy skin
- weak rapid pulse, increasing shallow respiration, decreased BP.
- urinary retention & fecal incontinence
- irritability or excitement, & potentially thirst
Etiology
cause of injury or disease
Mechanism
mechanical description of cause
