Study These Flashcards
A

Circulation to skin

25
Abnormal sounds/position, see-saw respirations, retractions, nasal flaring, apnea, and gasping are all associated with which aspect of PAT?
Work of Breathing
26
Normal appearance + increased WOB =
Respiratory distress
27
Abnormal appearance + increased/decreased WOB =
Respiratory fatigue
28
Normal appearance + poor circulation =
Observe patient
29
Abnormal appearance + poor circulation =
Shock
30
Abnormal appearance + normal circulation + normal WOB =
Brain dysfunction
31
Is the pediatric primary survey a rapid or stepwise evaluation of cardiopulmonary & neurologic function?
Rapid, step-wise evaluation
32
What acronym is associated with the pediatric primary survey?
``` A - airway B - breathing C - circulation D - disability E - exposure ```
33
What is the age croup associated with croup?
6 mo - 6 yrs
34
T/F: Intubation is difficult and nearly impossible to perform on children with epiglottitis.
True
35
T/F: FBA can cause unilateral wheezing and stridor.
True
36
What findings would you see on a drowning CXR?
Air trapping, atelectasis If a foreign body cannot be seen with a traditional X-ray, then inspiratory and expiratory phase films may show hyperinflation or air-trapping which suggests an aspirated foreign body.
37
What is the treatment for FBA?
Rigid bronchoscopy ACT if necessary
38
Define cold shock cardiac reflexes.
Sudden immersion <25C water
39
Dry drowning is defined as:
Laryngospasm with glottic closure, prevents aspiration of large amounts of liquid.
40
Wet drowning is defined as:
When liquid is completely aspirated during drowning, leads to ARDS.
41
Freshwater and salt water can both lead to:
Pneumonitis and bronchospasm
42
T/F: Salt water worsens lung injury more than freshwater.
True. Salt water irritates alveolar surface more than fresh water and worsens injury.
43
What is fluvial water?
Slightly salty water rivers meet oceans. Contains pathogens and infects lungs.
44
How do diving accidents occur?
Ascending too quickly from depth
45
What are two other names for diving accidents?
Bends or decompression sickness
46
What three laws are associated with causes of decompression sickness?
Henry's law, Boyle's law and water pressure.
47
What is the primary treatment for decompression sickness?
Hyperbaric chamber
48
What is another use for hyperbaric chambers?
Wound healing, crush injuries, peripheral ischemia, CO POISONING! CO has 200x affinity for Hbg than O2. Best treatment for CO is O2.
49
Benzo drugs are all -lams and -pams except:
Chloridiazepoxide.
50
What are toxidrones?
Group of signs & symptoms used as a basis for diagnosis of poisoning.
51
What is the treatment for opioid overdose?
Narcotic antagonist - Nalaxone (Narcan). Short acting.
52
What are benzodiazepines?
Common CNS depressent. Treatment is Romazicon (Flumazenil) which is a GABA receptor.
53
What are the 3 C's associated with TCA overdose?
Convulsions, Coma, Cardiotoxicity.
54
What is the treatment for acetaminophen OD?
NAC infusion (mucomyst)
55
What is the acronym for the S/S of organophosphate poisonings?
``` D - diarrhea U - urination M - miosis B - bronchoconstriction B - bradycardia E - emsis L - lacrimation S - sweating/salvation ```
56
Normal Hb is ___% in healthy people.
<3%. Measured with hemoximetry.
57
What treatments are used for croup (LTB)?
1. Cool bland aerosol - mild 2. Racemic epi - moderate 3. Intubation/tracheostomy - severe, uncommon
