Questions and Answers

When a warm hand is immersed in water that is 70°F (21°C), heat is transferred from the hand to the water through a process called:

  • Conduction (correct)
  • Convection
  • Radiation
  • Evaporation

The MOST prominent symptom of decompression sickness is:

  • Abdominal or joint pain (correct)
  • Tightness in the chest
  • Dizziness and nausea
  • Difficulty with vision

The EMT must assume that any unwitnessed water-related incident is accompanied by:

  • Cold-water immersion
  • Possible spinal injury (correct)
  • An air embolism
  • Alcohol intoxication

Study Notes

Heat Transfer

  • Heat is transferred from a warm hand to 70°F (21°C) water via conduction.

Decompression Sickness

  • Most prominent symptom: Abdominal or joint pain.
  • Assume possible spinal injury in unwitnessed water-related incidents.

Lyme Disease vs. Rocky Mountain Spotted Fever

  • Rocky Mountain spotted fever can cause paralysis and cardiorespiratory collapse, unlike Lyme disease.

Hypothermia

  • Occurs when the core body temperature falls below 95°F (35°C).

Frostbite Treatment

  • During transport of a frostbitten patient, protect the affected part from further injury.

Drowning Definition

  • Accurately defined as death from suffocation after submersion in water.

Scuba Diving Injuries

  • Serious injuries from scuba diving are primarily caused by too rapid of an ascent.

Resuscitation in Cold Conditions

  • For an unresponsive patient exposed to cold, assess for a carotid pulse for up to 60 seconds.

Lightning Burns

  • Burns associated with lightning strikes are typically superficial.
  • In a heat-exposed, confused diabetic patient with weak pulse and low blood pressure, load him into the ambulance and begin rapid cooling interventions.

Pit Viper Envenomation

  • An early sign includes local swelling and ecchymosis.

Hyperthermia

  • Defined as the body being exposed to more heat than it can lose.

Diving Emergencies

  • In a diver with cyanosis and pink froth after rapid ascent, position supine with head elevated, suction, and hyperventilate.
