second degree burn

A burn marked by pain, blistering, and superficial destruction of dermis with edema and hyperemia of the tissues beneath the burn.

first degree burn

A mild burn characterized by heat, pain, and reddening of the burned surface but not exhibiting blistering or charring of tissues.

recovery position

A side-lying position used to maintain a clear airway in unconscious patients without injuries who are breathing adequately. Allows secretions to drain from the mouth

Avulsion

A wound that occurs when tissue is separated from the body

AVPU

Alert Verbal Painful Unresponsive

Shock

As failure of the circulatory system

arterial bleeding

Bleeding from an artery bright red blood that is rapid, profuse, and difficult to control spurts with every heartbeat

heat stroke

Body subject more heat than it can handle body temps rises greater than 106 skin becomes dry and flush unable to sweat may go unresponsive

Hypothermia

Body temp less that 95 normals not fatal. As it progresses the body cannot compensate therefore shaving stops. If temp is below 83 cardiac arrest can happen

contusion

Bruise, damaging of the capillaries under the skin, discolored intact skin

Compare to a symptom a sign is something that you

Can be observed in patients

angina pectoris

Chest pain caused by an inadequate flow of blood and oxygen to heart muscle

angina pectoris

Chest pain or discomfort,shortness of breath,sweating

heart attack

Chest pain shortness of breath associated jaw or arm pain

Person dead at scene

Decapitation Rigor Morris Tissue decomposition Dependent lucidity

Secondary Assessment

Deformities open injuries tenderness swelling

control bleeding

Direct pressure elevate tourniquet

What cause seizures?

Epilepsy Trauma Head injury Stroke Shock Decreases level of oxygen High fever Infection Overdose of drugs or alchol

diabetic coma

Fruity order on breath deep rapid breathing slow onset of symptom

what to do for angina pectoris

Have patient stop activity and rest Ask the patient is already being treated for heart condition

diabetes

Inability's to produce insulin process glucose

signs of anaphylactic shock

Itchy,hives,swelling,wheezing and serve respiratory distress,loss of consciousness rapid weak pulse,rapid onset

Diabetic coma (hyperglycemia)

Large amount of glucose in body no enough insulin

Treatment for shock

Lay on back managing CABs controlling bleeding maintain body temp shock position

Signs of adequate breathing

Look,listen,feel

Cold water drowning

Mamillian dive reflex when submerged in cold water hr decreases as does oxygen demand decrease metabolic rate

laceration

Most common open wound can be little or big

Treatment for seizures

Never put anything in patients mouth If object is in their mouth take it out Place sometimes soft thin under the patients head if possible to prevent further injury Ensure airway is open If not breather begin for Calm patient down move to comfortable quiet area

puncture wound

Object punches through the skin,impales object may not bleed last gun shot

insulin shock

Pale,moist,clammy skin,high heart rate,fatigue,unresponsive rapid onset

Negligence

Patient suffers further injury or harm because the care administrator did not meet standard of care

heat exhaustion

Person exposed to temp greater than 80 degrees with humidity, produce sweating nausea dizziness low body

How do you check circulstion

Pulse and skin color

Bee stings/ant bites

Remove them

drowning

Result of submersion in water or other fluids

Abrasion

Scrape skin is rubbed against rough surface, skin is open

CHF (congestive heart failure)

Shortness of breath dizziness,weakness,rapid/shallow breathing,sweating,moist/gurgling breathing,enlarged neck veins swollen ankles

Sample

Sign and Symptoms Allergies Medication Past Medical History Last oral intake Events leading up to the injury or illness

Frostbite

Skin exposed to extreme cold. Hands toes can become numb and bright red turn pale or white

Absorbstion

Source are animal bites stings and toxic injections

injection

Substance enter the body via skin commonly pesticides toxic chemicals

express consent

The patient actually lets you know verbally or non verbal, that they are will to accept treatment

Implied consent

The patient does not specifically refuse emergency care

informed consent

The patient understands who you are what you want to do and what happens and allow you to treat them

Anaphylaxis

Throats and tongue can get swollen preventing person from breathing

Insulin Shock (hypoglycemia)

Too much insulin in the system and not enough glucose in the blood leading to cell damage

Inhalation

Toxic substance is entered body via breathing absorbed into lungs

jaw-thrust maneuver

Use for patients that have neck injury

stroke

Weakness on on side,dizziness,garbled d or unable to speak could have trouble seeing

third degree burn

a burn involving all layers of the skin; characterized by the destruction of the epidermis and dermis, with damage or destruction of subcutaneous tissue
