Study Notes
Cardiovascular Assessments
- Jugular venous pressure (JVP) reflects central venous pressure (CVP)
- The internal jugular vein is best estimated for assessing JVP
- A recent study reaffirmed that JVP is a useful and accurate method for estimating CVP
Jugular Vein Oscillations
- Oscillations in the internal and external jugular veins reflect right atrial pressure
First Aid Objectives
- The primary objective of first aid is to preserve life
- The ABC of life in the context of first aid stands for Airway, Breathing, and Circulation
- The term 'DISABILITY' in the context of first aid refers to the assessment of neurological status
Basic Life Support (BLS)
- Calling for help is included in basic life support (BLS) according to the text
- The recommended compression to ventilation ratio for CPR in adults is 30:2
Diabetes Management
- If a conscious person experiences a hypoglycemic episode, they should be given glucose or sugar
Burn Care
- Avoid breaking blisters or applying lotions, oils, or ice to burns when providing first aid
Drowning Response
- After removing a person from water in a drowning situation, resuscitation efforts should be started immediately
Seizure Response
- If someone experiences unconscious seizures, they should be placed on their side in the recovery position
CPR Technique
- The recommended depth of compression for CPR in adults is 5-6 cm (2-2.4 inches)
