Study Notes
### AVDN Consciousness Scale
- Used to assess a victim's level of consciousness.
- Evaluates response to stimuli: Alert (A), Verbal (V), Pain (D), Unresponsive (N)
### Primary Assessment
- Airway: Assess breathing and maintain airway, prioritizing spinal control.
- Breathing: Absence of breathing indicates cardiac arrest, requiring CPR (Cardiopulmonary Resuscitation).
- Circulation: Assess pulse and check for major bleeding. If absent, cardiac arrest requires CPR.
### Secondary Assessment
- Performed on conscious or regaining victims awaiting full recovery or medical aid.
- Pupils: Evaluate size, reaction to light, and symmetry.
- Head and Neck: Inspect for skull fractures (ear/nose bleeding, eye bruising), eye injuries, nasal/jaw fractures, contusions.
- Chest and Abdomen: Look for traumatic injuries, chest pain (ribs/sternum), abdominal trauma, pain, rigidity, internal bleeding signs.
- Extremities: Check for bleeding wounds, contusions, pain points, deformities, fracture signs, and assess mobility and sensation.
### OPUMA Rule
- Only for conscious victims. To gather vital information from family/companions.
- O: What happened (what occurred)?
- P: Personal history.
- U: Last ingestion (liquids/solids) - time and type.
- M: Medications taken (if any).
- A: Allergies.
### Pediatric Triage Triangle
- Visual assessment tool for infants and children, aiding in determining severity and need for medical help.
- Appearance: Uncharacteristic (unusually quiet, sluggish, poorly responsive), stiffness/floppiness, hyperactive/inactive, unable to follow gaze.
- Breathing: Difficulty maintaining normal breathing, including nasal flaring, labored breathing, respiratory sounds, abdominal breathing (diaphragm).
- Color: Pale, mottled, bluish skin.
- Presence of any of these signs indicates a potentially serious situation requiring medical attention.
- Absence doesn't rule out the need for care, as high fever might not affect the triangle but might need a pediatrician's visit.
### Pediatric Emergencies
- Requiring Immediate Medical Intervention: Seizures, persistent vomiting, fever in infants under 3 months, overall deterioration in infants and children.
### Pediatric Cardiac Arrest
- Children experiencing cardiac arrest exhibit distinct signs.
-
Causes:
- Respiratory Origin: Airway obstruction (foreign objects, choking), respiratory distress (bronchitis, pneumonia, asthma).
- Circulatory Origin: Compromise to circulation (dehydration from gastroenteritis, burns, hemorrhage, diabetes, infections, allergies).
- Cardiac Origin: Usually in children with history of prior heart conditions.
### Pediatric Basic Life Support (SVB)
- Reanimation: The European Resuscitation Council (ERC) guidelines for pediatric cardiac arrest (PCR) provide clear steps.
- Altered Algorithm: Adjustments are needed for newborns, infants, and children for chest compressions.
-
SVB Steps:
- Assessment: Confirm loss of consciousness, check for normal breathing, call 112/061, initiate chest compressions ("cardiac massage").
- Initial Action: 5 rescue breaths before starting chest compressions (15/pediatric protocol, 30/adult protocol).
- CPR by One Person: Practice CPR for 1 minute before seeking help.
- Chest Compression Depth: Approximately one-third of chest depth, using 2 fingers for infants, 1-2 hands depending on child's size (15/2 pediatric protocol, 30/2 adult protocol).
### Pediatric SVB Protocol for Infants and Children
- 1. Approaching the Scene: Safety first, ensuring no danger to victim, rescuer, or bystanders. Identify danger sources; eliminate if possible, otherwise call 112/061.
- 2. Rescuer Position: Kneel beside the infant, child, or place the infant on a raised surface (table, changing table), positioned laterally at shoulder height.
-
3. Check for Response: Speak and stimulate (never shake), if they respond:
- Leave them undisturbed, avoiding movement.
- Ask what happened, if able to communicate.
- Perform secondary assessment.
- Monitor consciousness and breathing.
- Call 112/061, if needed.
-
4. Open the Airway: (Front-Chin Maneuver)
-
Children Over 1 Year: The tongue and head position can block the airway. "Front-Chin" maneuver:
- Victim on their back (supine).
- Place one hand on the forehead, tilting the head gently backward.
- Use fingers of the other hand to lift the jaw forward, under the chin.
- This opens the airway by separating the tongue from the back of the throat.
- Infants: Use the "Front-Chin" maneuver, but with a gentler vertical extension to avoid trachea compression and airway closure.
- For visible, easily removable foreign objects, attempt removal with fingers, but only under controlled conditions.
-
Children Over 1 Year: The tongue and head position can block the airway. "Front-Chin" maneuver:
-
5. Check Breathing: With airway open, assess normal breathing (LOOK, LISTEN, FEEL):
- LOOK: Chest movements.
- LISTEN: Breathing sounds.
-
FEEL: Breath on your cheek.
- This should be done for 10 seconds before deciding.
- Breathing Present: Place them in the recovery position (PLS, supine) as tolerated, and call 112/061. Monitor until help arrives.
- Infants: Maintaining recovery position can be challenging, try positioning them on their side with support.
-
No Breathing or Abnormal Breathing:
- Alone: Give 5 initial rescue breaths and continue with CPR for 1 minute. Call 112/061.
- With Someone:
- Call 112/061.
- Give 5 initial rescue breaths and continue CPR.
-
6. Rescue Breaths:
-
Children:
- Maintain airway using "front-chin" maneuver.
- Hold their nose closed with one hand.
- Seal your mouth over theirs.
- Deliver a steady breath for 1 second.
- Watch for chest rise with each breath.
- Release the nose, remove your mouth, and observe chest deflation. A complete deflation signifies an effective breath.
- Repeat the process for another breath.
-
Infants:
- Use a mouth-to-mouth-nose technique.
- Ensure your mouth covers their mouth and nose completely.
- Remember that infants have a smaller respiratory capacity requiring smaller breath volumes.
- If chest doesn't rise with breaths, assess if a technique error exists.
-
Before re-breathing:
- Re-check "front-chin" position (minimal with infants).
- Inspect the infant's mouth for obstructions, especially foreign objects.
-
Children:
-
7. Chest Compressions:
- The infant or child should be lying face up on a firm, stable surface.
- This maneuver compresses the chest against the spine to circulate blood throughout the body.
-
Children:
- Place one hand on the center of the chest, with the heel of the hand directly over the breastbone.
- Use the other hand to support the forehead.
- If the child is large, both hands can be used.
-
Infants:
- Use two fingers, placed on the center of the chest, just below the nipple line (not over the ribs or cartilage).
- Ensure enough pressure is applied to compress the chest about one-third of the way down.
- Continue: Cycles of chest compressions and breaths (15/2 for pediatric protocol, 30/2 for adult protocol) until help arrives.
- Important: Ensure proper hand placement and compression depth for effective blood circulation.
