Study Notes
Informed Consent
- Essential prerequisite before conducting any examination or procedure.
- Should be performed whenever possible to ensure patient understanding and agreement.
DRABC Sequence
- D: Danger - Assess the environment for any hazards.
- R: Response - Check responsiveness of the individual.
- A: Airway - Ensure the airway is clear for breathing.
- B: Breathing - Verify the presence of effective breathing.
- C: Circulation - Assess circulation status.
- The combination of breathing and circulation is critical for delivering oxygen to organs, vital for life.
Breathing (Respiratory) System
- Composed of the airway (respiratory tract), gas exchange units (air sacs), rib cage, and respiratory muscles.
- Normal breathing rate ranges from 12 to 18 breaths per minute.
- Conditions like hyperventilation (excessive breathing) and hypoventilation (inadequate breathing) can disrupt blood gas levels, affecting oxygen and carbon dioxide balance.
Circulatory (Cardiovascular) System
- Blood pressure is a key indicator of cardiovascular health.
- Normal blood pressure range includes systolic values (upper measurements) which are yet to be specified in detail.
