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.
