Bleeding and ShockII
Terms and definitions- bleeding and shock
| Question | Answer |
|---|---|
| After controlling bleeding from an extremity using a pressure dressing, always | check the distal pulse. |
| Elevation is used to assist bleeding control because: | it slows bleeding, it raises the limb above the heart, it helps reduce blood pressure in the limb. |
| Never use elevation to assist bleeding control if: | you suspect musculoskeletal injuries. |
| This is a site where a major artery lies near the surface of the body directly over the bone. | pressure point |
| This type of splint is effective for controlling venous and capillary bleeding. | air splint |
| When suppementing bleeding control with cold application, you should: | wrap the ice pack in a towel, do not apply it directly to the skin, do not leave it in place more than 20 minutes |
| This garment controls bleeding from the areas it covers. | PASG- pneumatic anti-shock garment |
| Bleeding from a clean-edged amputation is cared for with | a pressure dressing |
| This type of amputation, caused by crushing or tearing injuries is called | a rough-edged amputation |
| This can be used as a temporary tourniquet if it is inflated to 150mmHg. | a blood pressure cuff |
| If a patient has a head injury and you note bleeding or loss of cerebrospinal fluid from the patient's ears or nose you should | allow the drainage to flow freely, reducing the pressure in the skull |
| Medical term for nosebleed | epistaxis |
| To stop a nosebleed, keep the patient calm and | place the patient in a sitting position, leaning forward; apply direct pressure by pinching the nostrils. |
| A gunshot wound, knife wound, and ice pick wound are examples of: | penetrating trauma |
| Vomiting a coffee ground like substance, dark & tarry stools, and/or a tender, rigid and distended abdomen are signs of: | internal bleeding |
| Inadequate tissue perfusion is also called | hypoperfusion |
| This condition may develop as a result of pump failure, lost blood volume, and/or dilated blood vessels. | shock |
| The most common type of shock seen by EMT-Bs is | hypovolemic shock |
| The most common mechanism of shock for a heart attack patient is | pump failure |
| Shock caused by the failure of the nervous system to control the diameter of blood vessels is | neurogenic shock |
| Shock where the body is able to maintain perfusion to the vital organs. | compensated shock |
| Increased heart rate, increased respirations, and pale,cool skin are early signs of | shock |
| This type of shock is when the body has lost the battle to maintain perfusion to organ systems. | irreversible shock |
| A patient in shock feels nauseated because | blood is diverted from the digestive system. |
| Does the pulse of a patient in shock increase or decrease? | increase |
| Is a drop in blood pressure an early or late sign of shock? | late sign |
| Additional signs of shock include: | thirst dilated pupils, cyanosis around lips and nailbeds. |
| This is the maximum on-scene time when caring for a trauma or shock patient. | platinum ten minutes |
| Three major types of shock | hypovolemic, cardiogenic, neurogenic |
