True or False. If you suspected a head injury, you would use the head-tilt chin lift technique to open the airway during your primary assessment

False

Primary Members of the Sports Med Team

What is the cornerstone of the pre-participation physical exam?

Family and medical history

What is an EAP?

a written document that defines the standard of care during and emergency situation

6 Steps of Emergency Medical SYstem Service that are important for survival/recovery

Recognition and response by the lay responder,

Early activation of the EMS system,

Professional rescuer care,

Prehospital care provided by advanced medical personnel,

Hospital care,

Rehabilitation

t/f: legal considerations vary from state to state

true

liability

being legally responsible for the harm one causes to another person

negligence

failure to follow STANDARD OF CARe, provide care beyond scope of practice, inappropriate care, failure to control behaviors to prevent further harm

in order to establish negligence, what three things must be present?

duty of care, conduct of the defendant fell short of duty of care, resultant damages

Nonfeasance (omission)

individual fails to perform a legal duty

malfeasance (commission)

commits an act that is legally not his or hers to perform

misfeasance

improperly does something that they have the legal right to do

standard of care

minimum level of care

t/f: Good samaritan laws are only when you are not on duty

true

Cardiac Arrest

electrical problem, heart stops beating

heart attack

circulation problem, blood to heart is blocked.

symptoms of heart attack

chest pain, radiating in shoulder, neck, jaw, and arm, shortness of breath, sweating

heart attacks are commonly mistaken for

seizure

Assume cardiac arrest if the victim is

unresponsive and have abnormal breathing

Cardiac Chain of survival (4)

Early recognition and early access to EMS, early CPR, Early AED, Early advanced medical care

Commotio Cordis

caused by a blow to chest that results in ventricular fibrillation

s/s of cardiac arrest

unconsciousness, no breathing, no pusle

cardiopulmonary resuscitation during cardiac arrest

rescue breaths and chest compressions

what do effective chest compressions do

increase likelihood of successful shock, circulates blood to brain and organs,

beats per minute for chest compression

100 beats/minute

CPR compressions/breaths (1 Person) ratio for adult

30:2

CPR compressions (1 person) to breaths for infant

30:2

compressions/breath for two person child/infant

15:2

complications that may occur during CPR

rips may break, vomit, chaotic scene, death

primary sign of heart attack

persistent chest pain or discomfort

AED stands for

Automated External Defibrillator

CPR does or does not correct underlying problem

does not

AED does or does not correct underlying problem

does (can)

Abnormal heart rhythms

vetricular fibrillation (disorganized electrical activity), ventricular tachycardia (rapid contraction of ventricles)

purpose of defibrillation

disrupt abnormal electrical activity long enough for heart to develop an effective rhythm on its own

what does an AED do

analyzes heart rhythm, decides if shock is necessary

pads go where on chest

upper right side and left side
