Study Notes

Medications for Myocardial Infarction

  • Morphine, Vikasol, Calcium chloride, Analgin, and Diphenhydramine are prescribed for myocardial infarction.

Signs of Peptic Ulcer Complications

  • Acute dagger pains in the epigastrium, weakness, and a drop in blood pressure are characteristic signs of a peptic ulcer of the stomach complicated by perforation.

Patient Transportation

  • A patient with a fractured pelvis should be transported lying on a stretcher on the stomach.

Complications of Myocardial Infarction

  • Pulmonary edema is a complication of myocardial infarction.

Symptoms of Gastrointestinal Bleeding

  • Severe weakness, dizziness, drop in blood pressure, coffee grounds vomiting, and tarry stools are characteristic symptoms of gastrointestinal bleeding.

Emergency Treatment for Anaphylactic Shock

  • An ambulance doctor should administer adrenaline, dexamethasone, and oxygen to treat anaphylactic shock.

Unconscious Patient Transportation

  • During transportation of an unconscious patient, it is necessary to give oxygen if possible and lay them on their back with their head thrown back.

Concussion of the Brain

  • An ambulance doctor should treat concussion of the brain with eufillin, magnesia, and dexamethasone IV.

Hypoglycemic Coma

  • Emergency care for hypoglycemic coma should start with glucose 40% IV (stream).

Traumatic Shock

  • The most complete volume of assistance to victims with traumatic shock at the prehospital stage includes intravenous infusion therapy, respiratory support, anesthesia, and transport immobilization.

Characteristics of Traumatic Shock

  • Traumatic shock is usually characterized by arterial and venous hypotension with tachycardia.

Crush Syndrome

  • First aid for prolonged crush syndrome includes introduction of promedol, oxygen supply, tight bandaging of the limb, cooling of the limb, and transport immobilization.

Early Syndromes of Crush Syndrome

  • Traumatic shock, acute renal failure, acute hepatic failure, hemorrhagic shock, and secondary infection are syndromes in the early period of prolonged crush syndrome.

Dezo Bandage Application

  • A dezo bandage is applied at the scene for a fractured clavicle.

Test your knowledge on prehospital trauma care procedures including intravenous infusion therapy, respiratory support, anesthesia, immobilization of fractures, and transportation to the hospital. Explore the steps involved in assisting victims with traumatic shock before reaching the hospital.
