AEMT National Registry Exam 2022| 100 QUESTIONS| WITH COMPLETE SOLUTIONS Patient has poor perfusion, elevated respiratory rate, 38 is an example but no wheezing what do you ventilate with? Correct ... Answer: BVM, not albuterol Asthma patient becomes apneic and hands you a inhaler what do you do? Correct Answer: begin ventilation what are the alveoli purpose in the respiratory system? Correct Answer: exchange oxygen and carbon dioxide molecules to and from bloodstream tiny little clusters of balloon shaped air sacs sit at the end of the respiratory tree in the lungs gas exchange in lungs Correct Answer: Occurs via diffusion O2 concentration is higher in the lungs than in the blood, so O2 diffuses into blood. CO2 concentration in the blood is higher than in the lungs, so CO2 diffuses out of blood. contraindication with consumption of alcohol is? Correct Answer: Nitrous Oxide flail segment or flail chest Correct Answer: two or more adjacent ribs that are broken in two or more places, creating a free floating section causes inadequate breathing due to pain Cheyene stokes breathing usually caused by Correct Answer: ICP intracranial pressure abnormal pattern of deeper and sometimes faster breathing followed by decreased breathing leading to apnea which is no breath DKA diabetic ketoacidosis Correct Answer: Shortage of insulin resulting in hyperglycemia and production of keytones and also leads to kidney failure Kaussmauls breathing which is labored and deep leads to severe metabolic acidosis Transporting a pt on a ventilator and the pressure release valve pops? Correct Answer: means there is increased pressure in airway The best indicator of Cellular perfusion in Base deficit? Correct Answer: end tidal CO2 monitoring which verifies gas exchange Fix inspired oxygen FiO2 starts at 24% and increases how? Correct Answer: 1 LPM equals 24% 2 LPM 4% increase to 28% Patient in destress can't use MDI which is albuterol what is next best thing Correct Answer: Nebulizer treatment with a mask respiratory distress Correct Answer: increased work of breathing; a sensation of shortness of breath respiratory failure Correct Answer: The reduction of breathing to the point where oxygen intake is not sufficient to support life respiratory arrest Correct Answer: when breathing completely stops yaunker suctions? Correct Answer: oral cavity Ventricular Tachycardia which is V-tach leads to Correct Answer: V-fib Ventricular fibrillation rapid inadequate heart rhythm occurs in bottom portions of heart can be triggered by a heart attack usually caused by previous heart issues Most lethal cardiac rhythm in Cardiac Arrest Correct Answer: V-Fib What Rhythms do a AED shock? Correct Answer: V-tach pulse less V-fib Nitroglycerin mechanism of action and cautions Correct Answer: Primary reason to give Nitro is that it Reduces cardiac work load Vasodilation, decreased preload and afterload cautions are as follows potential for compensated shock if BP 90 and HR >100 erectile dysfunction drug taken Baroreceptors Correct Answer: detect changes in blood pressure baroreceptor reflex Correct Answer: The primary reflex pathway for homeostatic control of blood pressure If BP drops heart rate rises if HR drops BP rises What is ROSC? Correct Answer: Stands for return of spontaneous circulation. It is resumption of sustained perfusing cardiac activity associated with significant respiratory effort after cardiac arrest. Signs include breathing, coughing, or movement and a palpable pulse or a measurable blood pressure. * once ROSC has returned measure temp for target temp relief PROVIDE OXYGEN BY NC or NRB Example of next step in successful ROSC on a septic 8yr old child thats 8 ventilating and has a IO established Correct Answer: Check vitals Heart Failure S/S Correct Answer: Shortness of breath, fatigue, and weakness, swelling in the legs, feet abdomen. Rapid or irregular heartbeat with S3 or S4 heart sounds, persistent cough or wheezing, and weight gain from fluid retention. Pulse paradoxus Correct Answer: - A finding in which systolic BP is 10 mmHg or greater on expiration than inspiration. Pt also may present with JVD, bradycardia & hypotension. **A symptom of cardiac tapenade** Flow of blood through the heart Correct Answer: Deoxygenated blood enters into the heart through the superior and inferior vena cava Blood travels into the right atrium and flows through the tricuspid valve into the right ventricle Blood is pushed through the pulmonary valve into the pulmonary artery and lungs when the right ventrical contracts and picks up oxygen Oxygenated blood is then carried back to the heart by the pulmonary veins into the left atrium through the mitral valve and into the left ventricle Contraction of the left ventricle forces the blood through the aortic valve, through the aorta, and out to the entire body primary prevention Correct Answer: Efforts to prevent an injury or illness from ever occurring. example bicycle helmet QA and QI programs purposes are to Correct Answer: ensure standard of care and treatment doctors reviewing QA and QI use it for continuing education After performing ABC's what is next Correct Answer: Load and Go or Stay and Play First thing you do when you come across the patient Correct Answer: Determine level of Consciousness [Show More]
