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)

Absorbstion
Source are animal bites stings and toxic injections
injection

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
