    Study Notes

    Chain of Infection

    • Consists of six links: infectious agent, reservoir, portal of exit, mode of transmission, portal of entry, and susceptible host.

    Pathogenic Organism

    • An organism that causes disease in a host.

    Pathogen Exit (Genitourinary Tract)

    • Pathogens leave the reservoir via urine, feces, semen, and vaginal secretions.

    Medical Specialities

    • Orthopedic Surgeons: Treat bone, ligament, tendon, and nerve issues.
    • Obstetricians: Provide care during and after pregnancy, including labor and delivery, and postpartum care up to six weeks.

    Medical Emergencies

    • For nausea and stool changes, seek care from a family doctor, not an emergency room.

    Secondary Survey (SAMPLE)

    • Signs and symptoms: The patient's current conditions.
    • Allergies: Known allergies to medications or other substances.
    • Medications: Prescribed medications, supplements, or other substances the patient is taking.
    • Past medical history: Past health conditions and relevant information.
    • Last meal: When and what the patient ate.
    • Events preceding: Events or factors that led up to the current situation.

    Additional Acronyms (OPQRST)

    • Onset: When symptoms began.
    • Provoke: What factors make symptoms worse.
    • Quality: Description of the symptom.
    • Region/radiation: Location of the symptom.
    • Severity: How severe the symptom is.
    • Time: Duration of the symptom.

    Sudden Cardiac Arrest (VSA)

    • A sudden loss of heart activity causing a lack of oxygen to vital organs. This is also known as "Vital Signs Absent".

    Medical Terminology

    • Asphyxia: Loss of oxygen supply due to breathing problems.
    • Shock: Critical condition due to a drop in blood flow.
    • MOI: Method of injury, used to evaluate trauma severity.
    • Anaphylaxis: Severe allergic reaction.
    • Abrasion: Superficial skin scrape.
    • Contusion: Bruise.
    • Incision: A clean cut.
    • Laceration: Jagged wound.
    • Sprain: Ligament injury.
    • Strain: Muscle injury.
    • Ligament: Connects bone to bone.
    • Tendon: Connects muscle to bone.
    • Crepitus: Grating sound or sensation.
    • Dislocation: Displacement of a joint.

    Shock Treatment (WARTS)

    • Warmth: Maintain body temperature.
    • Airway, Breathing, Circulation, Defibrillation (ABCDs): Assess and stabilize vital functions.
    • Rest/Reassurance: Calm and comfort the patient.
    • Treatment: Apply appropriate medical interventions.
    • Semi-prone (recovery position): Positioning for recovery, stabilization, & comfort.

    Primary Survey (DRSABCD)

    • Danger: Identifying and removing dangers.
    • Response: Assessing consciousness.
    • Send for help: Notification of medical assistance.
    • Airway: Maintaining an open airway.
    • Breathing: Checking breathing.
    • Circulation: Checking blood flow.
    • Defibrillation: Applying a defibrillator (AED) for significant cardiac issues.

    Airway Obstruction

    • Partial: Wheezing, coughing, and restricted airflow.
    • Full: Unconsciousness, inability to breathe or make sounds.
    • In emergency situations involving unconscious patients, consent is implied for necessary medical interventions to stabilize the patient's life.

    CPR (Cardiopulmonary Resuscitation)

    • CPR is a life-saving technique performed to help circulate oxygenated blood and keep the body's organs alive (for patients in cardiac arrest)

    EpiPen Use

    • Hold EpiPen vertically with the blue tip to the sky and orange tip towards the thigh of the patient. Hold on the thigh area for three seconds.

    Chest Compressions (CPR)

    • Performed on patients in cardiac arrest to circulate blood and oxygen.
