🗑
|
||||
| criteria for admission for electrical burns | *loss of consciousness *ECG changes *10% TBSA affected * need for monitoring an affected extremity. Cardiac monitoring is standard burn care when ECG changes are identified on admission.
🗑
|
||||
| superficial burns (1st degree) | of minor significance, involves epidermal layer only. tissue damage is minimal and no blistering. pain is predominant symptom. heals in 5-10 days w/o scarring. Ex: mild sunburn.
🗑
|
||||
| partial-thickness burn (2nd degree) | involves epidermis and varying degrees of dermal layer. painful, moist, red, and blistered. heals in 14-21 days with varying scarring. extremely sensitive to temp, air, touch. sweat glands & hair follicles intact. pink, red or waxy white. edema.
🗑
|
||||
| full-thickness (3rd degree) | extends into subcu tissue. nerve endings, sweat glands & hair follicles destroyed. color is red to tan, waxy white, brown or black. dry leathery. lack sensation. not capable of re-epithelialization and require grafting to close.
🗑
|
||||
| forth-degree burns | full-thickness burns that involve muscle, fascia or bone. wound is dull and dry. ligaments and bone may be exposed.
🗑
|
||||
| inhalation injury | clinical manifestations can be delayed 24-48 hours. Inhalation of carbon monoxide is suspected when injury has occurred in an enclosed space. Mucopurulent membrane replaces the mucosal lining and seriously compromises respiration and ventilation.
🗑
|
||||
| burn shock | immediate post burn period. dramatic alterations in circulation. fluid loss thru denuded skin, capillary permeability increases and vessels become dilated. circulating blood volume decreases and cardiac output reduced.
🗑
|
||||
| treatment for carbon monoxide inhalation | 100% O2
🗑
|
||||
| early signs of sepsis | decreased level of consciousness and lethargy. early placement of autograph reduces incidence of sepsis.
🗑
|
||||
| emergency burn care (minor) | MINOR 1. stop burning process 2. remove burned clothing and jewelry 3. apply cool water not ice * do not disturb blisters unless from chemical burn *do not apply anything to burn *cover with clean cloth
🗑
|
||||
| emergency burn care (major) | MAJOR 1. smother fire 2. place in horizontal position 3. roll in blanket 4. remove burnt clothing and jewelry *assess for airway clearance *mouth-to-mouth if not breathing *cover burn with clean cloth *keep warm *begin IV & O2 *transport
🗑
|
||||
| fluid replacement therapy | 1. compensate for water and sodium lost to traumatized areas 2. re-establish sodium balance 3. restore circulating volume 4. provide perfusion 5. correct acidosis 6. improve renal function
🗑
|
||||
| burn nutrition | *hypoglycemia can result from stress *high protein and calorie diet *most children with burns over 25% require tube feeding *enteral feeding is preferred route *supplement with A, C, and Zinc
🗑
|
||||
| acute phase | treatment of burn shock and mgmt of pulm stat *monitor VS, I&O, respiratory *maintain urine output of 1-2ml/kg if less than 30lb and 30-50ml/hr in more than 30lb. *check burned extremity pulse every hr
🗑
|
||||
| management phase | *concentrate on preventing infection, closing burn and preventing complications *keep environment temp 82.4-91.4 F *warm solutions
🗑
|
||||
| rehabilitative phase | when majority of burns have healed and rehabilitation becomes predominant focus
🗑
|
||||
| symptoms of sepsis | decreased LOC * rising or falling WBC *hyperthermia progrssing to hypothermia *increasing fluid requirements *hypoactive or absent bowel sounds *rising or falling glucose *tachycardia *tachypnea *thrombocytopenia
🗑
|
||||
| sunburn treatment | *cool tap water soaks for 20 min or until skin is cool *apply bland oil-in-water lotion *protecting from sunburn is the major goal of mgmt, skin should be covered, and use of sun screens and sun blockers *sunscreens PABA is most effective
🗑
|
||||
| when to use activated charcoal | *child ingested large amounts of carbamazepine, dapsone, phenobarbital, quinine, or theophylline *w/i 1 hour of poison ingestion *has intact or protected airway
🗑
|
||||
| when to use gastric lavage | *1 hour of ingesting toxin *decreased gastric motility *toxic amount of sustained-release medication or a large or life-threatening amount of poison
🗑
|
||||
| aceteminophen antidote | N-acetylcysteine
🗑
|
||||
| benzodiazepine antidote | flumazenil (Romazicon)
🗑
|
||||
| digoxin antidote | digoxin immune fab (Digibind)
🗑
|
||||
| cyanide antidote | amyl nitrate
🗑
|
||||
| acrodynia | painful extremities. classic form of mercury poisoning
🗑
|
||||
| chelation | chemical compound that combines with metal for rapid and safe excretion *adequate hydration is essential, chelates are excreted thru kidneys
🗑
|
||||
| affects of lead | *competes with calcium, interferes with regulation *cognitive and behavioral problems like aggression & hyperactivity *developmental delays *low in iron is more susceptible to mercury absorption
🗑
|
||||
| acceptable BLL (blood lead level) | 10mcg/dl
🗑
|
||||
| lead screening | done at 1 and 2 years old. any children between 3 and 6 who have not been screened should be
🗑
|
||||
| lead nursing mgmt | *prevent initial or further exposure *admin chelating agents deeply into large muscle, with procaine *rotate admin sites *records I&Os
🗑
|
||||
| abusive head trauma (AHT) symptoms | retinal hemorrhages *flu-like symptoms to unresponsiveness *vomiting *irritability *poor feeding *listlessness *severe forms include seizures, posturing, change in LOC, apnea, bradycardia, or death
