Download

True or False: Downloading an ePCR that has been transferred to you will overwrite your initial CAD data

False

True or False: Crews may simply disregard ePCRs that have been transferred to them, if they don’t want it

False

True or False: Patient lookups should be performed by the crew receiving an ePCR transfer BEFORE downloading the ePCR

True

The correct “Patient Disposition” for the crew transferring care should be?

“Initiated primary care and transferred to another EMS crew”

The BEST way to submit ideas for ePCR improvement is?

The feedback form in the ePCR

For medical, what age is pediatric?

less than 18 years old

For trauma, what age is pediatric?

less than 16 years old

For cardiac arrests, what age is pediatric and what age is adult?

pediatric = 14 years old or younger

adult = 15 years old or older

average survival rates for trauma arrests

penetrating trauma arrest = 10.6%

blunt trauma arrest = 2.3%

During traumatic arrests, what should you do first when your patient becomes pulseless and apneic?

FOCUS ON REVERSIBLE CONDITIONS BEFORE CPR

• hemorrhage control

• airway management

• chest needle decompression

What is measles?

a highly contagious virus

how is measles transmitted?

through the air and on surfaces that come into contact with an infected person

measles symptoms

• sneezing

• coughing

• runny nose

• red eyes

• small white/bluish dots on the tongue, mouth, and inside of cheeks (Koplik’s Spots)

• rash on face and forehead

• full body rash

• high fever

Medical Cardiac Arrest Protocol for EMTCC

1. approach pt and do pulse checks and breathing checks

2. if pulseless and apneic, begin chest compressions with a depth of at least 2 inches

   • rate = 110 / minute

3. next is airway. if bystander CPR is being performed, CC performs airway interventions. if CC is on the chest, NCC performs airway interventions

   • IGEL, BVM, 15 L O2, 1 ventilation every 20th compression

   • use orogastric tube in the IGEL and connect to suction

   • for pediatrics (less than 15 y/o) ventilate once ever 10 compressions

4. apply monitor pads and follow instructions

What is the normal range for EtCO2?

35-45 mmHg
