Which flometer is not affected by gravity?
The Bourdon-gauge
Is a simple, clear, nonproprietary name. Not capitalized
Example, ibuprofen
Generic name
Three causes of shock
Pump failure: cardiogenic shock, obstructive shock
Poor vessel function: distributive shock
Low fluid volume: hypovlemic shock
Is the term used to describe the amount of gas in air or dissolved in fluid,such as blood. Measured in mm of mercury
Partial pressure
25 to 50 breaths/min
Infants
The metabolism that takes place in the absence of oxygen; the principal product is lactic acid
Anaerobic metabolism
0-1 cardiac irritability 0-4 brain damage not likely 4-6 brain damage possible 6-10 brain damage likely More than 10 minutes, irreversible brain damage
Critical time of being in cardiac arrest
A method of ventilation used primarily in the treatment of critically ill patients with respiratory distress; can prevent the need for endotracheal intubation
Patients may have wet lung sounds or heart failure that require this
Continuous positive airway pressure (CPAP)
The amount of air that is moved in or out of the lungs during one breath
Tidal volume
Mechanical obstruction of the cardiac muscle causing a decrease in cardiac output
Obstructive shock
The late stage, when blood pressure is falling is called _______
Symptoms: falling blood pressure, labored or irregular breathing, ashen/mottled/or cyanotic skin
Decompensated shock
Liquid medication is aerosolized and is administered into a nostril.
Examples, flu vaccine, Narcan (opioid OD)
Mucosal automizer device (MAD)
The passive part of the breathing process in which the diaphragm and the intercostal muscle relax, forcing air out of the lungs
Exhalation
Damaged cervical spine, which causes widespread blood vessel dilation
Neurogenic shock
Compressed under high pressure. Often contain other materials that are mixed with medication
Tablets
Nasal cannula delivers _____ to _____ oxygen
22% to 44%
As the volume of blood coming to the heart increases, the precontraction pressure in the heart builds up. This precontraction pressure is known as ________. As this increases, the volume of blood within the ventricles increases, which causes the heart muscle to stretch.
Preload
Intravenous means into the vein
IV
How to convert pounds into kl
Divide pounds by 2.2
Inadequate heart function, disease of muscle tissue, impaired electrical system, disease or injury
Cardiogenic shock
Venturi mask is a medium-flow device that delivers _____ to _____ oxygen
24% to 40%
Don’t administer nitro (chest pain medication) if the patients BP is less than _______
100
Extreme life-threatening allergic reaction
Anaphylactic
15 to 30 breaths/min
Children
The actual exchange of oxygen and carbon dioxide in the alveoli as well as the tissues of the body
Respiration
Results when there is widespread dilation of the small arterioles, small venues, or both. As a result, the circulating blood volume pools in the expanded vascular beds and tissue perfusion decreases.
Septic, neurogenic, anaphylatic, psychogenic
Distributive shock
Severe bacterial infection
Septic shock
The force of resistance against which the heart pumps is known as _______. If this increases, cardiac output decreases.
Afterload
How many shocks are there?
Eight
Loss of blood or fluid
Hypovolemic shock
Metabolism that can proceed only in the presence of oxygen
Aerobic metabolism
Temporary, generalized vascular dilation
Anxiety, bad news, sight of injury or blood, prospect of medical treatment, severe pain, illness, tiredness
Psychogenic shock
The early stage of shock, while the body can still compensate for blood loss, is called _______
Symptoms: agitation, anxiety, feeling of impending doom, altered mental status, weak/rapid/or absent pulse, shortness of breath, etc
Compensated shock
The 6 R’s
Right patient, right medication, right dose, right route, right time, right documentation
12 to 20 breaths/min
Adults
Exchange of air between the lungs and the environment, spontaneously by the patient or with assistance from another person, such as an EMT
Ventilation
Intraosseous means into the bone
IO
Are gelatin shells filled with powdered or liquid medication
Capsule
Reduces surface tension within the alveoli and keeps them expanded, thus making it easier for the gas exchange between oxygen and carbon dioxide to take place
Surfactant
Adult dose of aspirin
160 - 325
Narcan dosage for opioid over dose
0.4 mg; 2 mg IN
Means to bind to or stick to a surface
Adsorption
Medications travel through body tissue until they reach the blood stream
Absorption
How many compressions for a infant
30 compressions 2 breaths
1 1/2 inches in-depth
Compressions for a child
30 compressions and 2 breaths
2 inches in-depth
Where do you check for pulse on children and adults?
Carotid
Where do you check for pulse for an infant?
Brachial (arm)
Upper airway consists of
Nasopharynx, Nassal air passage, Pharynx, Oropharynx, Mouth, Epiglottis, Larynx
Lower airway consists of
Trachea, Bronchioles, and main bronchus
