27
Q

One cycle of CPR is __ chest compressions and__ breaths. Takes about two minutes to do __ cycles of CPR if they are given at the rate of __ per min.
You need to do 5 cycles of CPR and then check for a __.

pulse

28
Q

CPR Steps:

A

CAB (Compression, Airway, Breathing)
If there is a pulse but no breath you give one breath every five seconds.
Note: Check surroundings first to make sure the scene is safe. So you don’t get clapped!

29
Q

pt can breathe through nose, good for those who hate tight spaces

A

Nasal Cannula (O2 tank bag)
Flow = 1-6 LPM

30
Q

pt not breathing, CPR necessary,

A

Ambu Bag (O2 tank bag):
low =25 LPM (MAX)

31
Q

pt is not breathing, CPR necessary, never have flow control valve running,

A

Quick Connect (Green/Black) Positive Pressure Mask (O2 tank bag):
flow=0. ULSD 1st choice

32
Q

good for pts who can’t breathe well through nose, higher O2 content, covers mouth and nose

A

CPR Facemask
flow=6-15

33
Q

manual glucose monitoring

A

Glucometer

34
Q

bleeding control

A

Tourniquet:

35
Q

reverse effects of opioid overdose, last 30 - 90 minutes

A

Narcan Nasal Spray 4mg

36
Q

anaphylaxis or severe immediate hypersensitivity rxns, hold for 10 seconds

A

EpiPen 1 Adult Single Dose 0.3mg:

37
Q

symptomatic relief of allergic symptoms caused by histamine release (nasal allergies and allergic dermatosis); adjunct to epinephrine in anaphylaxis tx

A

Benadryl 50 mg/ml

38
Q

tx or prevention of angina pectoris (chest pain)

A

Nitroglycerin

39
Q

tx of hypoglycemia

A

InstaGlucose Gel & Glucose Tabs (dextrose)

40
Q

prevention or tx of fainting

A

Ammonia Inhalants

41
Q

tx or prevention of bronchospasm in patients with asthma or exercise-induced bronchospasm

A

Ventolin/Albuterol Inhaler

42
Q

ischemic stroke/attack, acute coronary syndromes

A

Aspirin Tab

43
Q

limp body, pale/clammy face, blue fingernails or lips, vomiting, slow breathing/heartbeat, constricted/pinpoint pupils

A

Opioid Overdose

44
Q

Opioid Overdose tx

A

Narcan, put pt in recovery position, give second dose if necessary

45
Q

passed out, loss of consciousness, BP/HR slow and weak

A

Syncope
(Tx: Ammonia, Oxygen,)

46
Q

due to anxiety or panic attack, increased RR/HR, rapid and deep breathing

A

Hyperventilation

47
Q

tightness in chest, feel constricted, dyspepsia (indigestion), pain can radiate to neck, jaw or left arm

A

Chest Pain/Angina Pectoris:

48
Q

rapid pulse, hangry, confused, normal/decreased BP, pale, dizzy, weak

A

Hypoglycemia:

49
Q

mild (itching, rash, nasal congestion, sneezing); moderate (slight face swelling, itching, no trouble breathing); severe (severe face swelling, hives, respiratory wheezing or trouble breathing, cardiac arrest/anaphylaxis, severe decreased BP, rapid weak pulse)

A

Allergic Reaction:

50
Q

LOC, oozing of saliva, grand mal-tonic/clonic convulsions, eye flickering, mouth twitching

A

Seizures:

51
Q

wheezing, BP is normal or slightly elevated, cyanosis, trouble breathing

A

Asthma Attack

52
Q

facial drooping, slurred/abnormal speech, can’t hold one arm up, squeeze of hands different

A

Stroke:

53
Q

Important Note for Quick Connect Mask:

A

simply turn on O2 and put mask on pt when using O2 Demand Resuscitator Valve
The flow control should NOT be adjusted when using resuscitator valve, O2 is flowing directly from the tank

54
Q

Look at the oral land marks

A

Did you look???

55
Q

Syneresis:
Imbibition:

A

lose water/dry out
absorb water

56
Q

Q: What temperature of water will slow down the reaction time of the impression, causing the need to leave the impression in the patient’s mouth longer?

A

Cold
