Q

How to check for breathing ?

A

Inspect
Palpate
percuss
Ausculate

17
Q

Whats the normal respiratory rate ?

18
Q

How to check circulation?

A

Asses pulse rate, volume rhythm

capillary refill time

19
Q

What does ‘scene’ stand for ?

A
S- Safety
C- Cause of illness or injury 
E- Environment 
N-Number of patients 
E- Extra resources need
20
Q

What to do with a time critical airway

A
Positioning (siting them up)
Suction (Try postural drainage when getting the suction ready) 
Opa
Npa 
Supraglottic Airway
21
Q

What to consider when doing a jaw thrust

A

Consider the spinal cord

22
Q

What to look for when inspecting the breathing

A
Resp rate <10 or >30
Adequacy and depth of chest movement 
Symmetry of chest movement 
Effectiveness of ventilation 
Cyanosis (blue lips or finger tips) 
Position of trachea
23
Q

What does cyanosis mean

A

Where your skin or lips turn blue

24
Q

What to look for when palpate

A

Any instability of chest wall
Areas of tenderness
Depth and equality of chest movement

25
What to look for when percussing
Look for dullness ( build up of fluid | Look for hype-resonance ( sounds like a drum, full of air)
26
What to look for when ausculate
``` Use 6 spots in primary survey Altered breathing patterns Airway comprised Additional sounds Absence of sounds Asses for air entry ```
27
What’s the acronym for breathing
``` F- feel L- look A- Auscultate P- percuss S- search ```
28
What to do on circulations
``` Reassess catastrophic haemorrhage Skin colour and temperature Palpate pulse- radial > carotid > femoral Assess pulse rate, volume and rhythm Capillary refill time ```
29
What to look in disability
Reassess AVPU Pupil size, equality and response to light Check. For purposeful movement in all for limbs Check sensory function Blood glucose Levels Complete fast test
30
What is the fast test
Facial weakness Arm weakness Speech Time of onset Motor Sensation Circulation
31
What to do when expose
Asses for other life threatening injuries All over assessment Consider temperature
