Procedures for Practical Flashcards
What are the steps/questions to clearing SMR with CCR?
Do you have any N/T in hands/feet?
Any pain in C-spine?
If yes -> was it immediate or delayed?
Check if pain is directly on C-spine or off to the side in soft tissue - palpate if necessary
Check for normal strength in all extremities.
If all clear, ask patient to slowly move their neck 45 degrees in each direction under their own power, and stop if there is an increase in pain/blockage/grinding
What is needed for effective compressions in CPR?
Position yourself close to patient
Arms at 90 degrees to the chest
Hands placed directly over lower half of sternum
Hands stacked on top of each other
At least 2 inches of travel
Allow full chest recoil between compressions
Reduce off chest time/ compression fraction as much as possible
What are the criteria to perform a focused instead of full-body exam in secondary?
Known and non-indicative MOI
Only one system involved
GCS = 15
What is the step by step process for the GCS?
Say their name and ask if they can hear you. Rate ‘eyes’ depending on when or if they open their eyes
Ask them to tell you where they are/score of the game/something where they have to respond - this is for ‘speech/verbal’
Ask them to perform a motor movement - thumbs up, wiggle toe, etc. If they do, 6 - if not, painful response. Response to pain is rated
