    Study Notes

    Medical Emergency Scenarios

    • Nitroglycerin Contraindications: Nitroglycerin is contraindicated in patients with hypertension, tachycardia (over 100 bpm) in heart failure, or recent use of erectile dysfunction medications.

    • Burn Victim Intubation: Extensive deep facial burns, total body surface area (BSA) of 30% or greater, and altered mental status are early intubation indicators for burn victims.

    • Telemetry Contact: Telemetry contact should be established for all time-sensitive and life-threatening transports, and explicitly stated in the protocol.

    • Pregnant Patient Transport: Pregnant patients with limb presentation should be transported in the left lateral recumbent position.

    • Severe Allergic Reaction: Skin disorders with respiratory difficulty and hypotension, or wheezing with good tidal volume air exchange signify a severe allergic reaction.

    • DNR/POLST Order Validity: A DNR/POLST order is considered invalid when the patient expresses a desire for life-resuscitating treatment or when emergency medical services providers decide it's in the patient's best interest.

    • CPR in Pregnant Patients: CPR for pregnant patients over 20 weeks gestation requires tilting the patient to the left side.

    • Inferior Wall STEMI Management: For Inferior Wall STEMI, avoid nitroglycerin; instead, administer high-flow oxygen.

    • Sepsis Criteria: Fever, tachycardia, and hypotension are criteria for suspected sepsis.

    • Trauma Center Transport: Criteria for trauma center transport include skull deformity, suspected spinal injury, or fractures of a single proximal long bone.

    Medication Dosing and Procedures

    • Moderate Pain Management (Adults): Appropriate doses for moderate pain management in adults include morphine 2-5 mg IV/IO, fentanyl 25-50 mcg IV/IO, and hydromorphone 0.5-1 mg IV/IO.

    • Epinephrine Dosing (Cardiac Arrest): The first epinephrine dose in cardiac arrest VF/VT should be administered immediately upon arrival.

    • Amiodarone Dosing (Pulseless VT/VF): 150 mg IV/IO is the initial dose for pulseless VT/VF in adults.

    • Neonatal Resuscitation CPR Ratio: The correct ratio for neonatal resuscitation CPR is 15:2.

    • Cardiac Arrest Medications (Hyperkalemia): For cardiac arrest with hyperkalemia, avoid administering albuterol. Calcium chloride, sodium bicarbonate, and insulin with glucose are suitable alternatives.

    Emergency Procedures

    • Cardiac Arrest (VF/VT): Administer epinephrine immediately upon arrival for cardiac arrest (VF/VT).

    • Pregnant Patients: Pregnant patients with limb presentation should be transported in the left lateral recumbent position.
