What is Absolute and Relative Refractory Period?
Not unless those fluids happen to be whole blood. But his airway definitely needs managed, looks like he isn’t breathing on his own.
Why didn’t you get her in the ambulance asap? She’s gonna need a CT.
Needs a CT scan and blood work. EMT need to transport her immediately.
👎
JT.
Yeppers.....get that bp up to about 90.
So what was causing the pain?
Dry, warm, stimulate. 160bpm hr is desirable. The compression ratio for a neonate (
Norepinephrine.
1st, circumoral burns and burns around the nairs paired with stridor are 100% indications for intubation. I guess if nobody is qualified for that a nrb is fine but at least do a neb treatment or at the very least ensure your nRB bag is inflated.
Thanks
I concur
It's actually only effective in one very rare circumstance.
Appendicitis
Sounds like the gall bladder pain I had before I found out I had gall stones
Appendicitis, not a drug but I sure do remember that pain 🥺
YES I almost died from appendicitis
This was made for the professional not the patient.. great for teaching, not reassuring for ppl struggling
Thanks for this
Had an unusual head trauma recently. Construction worker accidentally fired a framing nail into his head. GCS 12. Pt is conscious, non verbal, vomiting. Blood and Csf weeping from a small entry wound.
Needs to poop.
Just a question I had, wouldn't it be pretty hard to tell whether or not a patient has a herniation or a hemorrhage? Seems like the signs and symptoms are pretty similar and you wouldn't get a clear result until a CT scan is performed, no? Or is there a more defining factor between a herniated and hemorrhaged head injury? I was always taught to not hyperoxygenate head injuries. Was just curious about your input
For second I thought she was going to fart at the end and be ok
Thanks
So you have cushings triad reflecting ICP which given the scenario likely indicates a left sided intracerebral hemorrhage occuring secondary to trauma. Yes intubate. As for what you can do for that id get the blood pressure down just a bit but nothing below 160-140 SBP.
With a more thorough pain assessment you can narrow things down. By assessing antecedants to the pain, quality of pain and doing a CVA tenderness check you can rule out galstones, kidney isses, and more.
Svt, at high enough pacing the p waves can disappear.

The kids on the phone sitting on the couch....
What’s he supposed to do??? He obviously has no medical knowledge Worrying about it won’t help at all Really the best thing in this situation is to stay away from her while actual medical professionals do the work they trained years for
I remember being a kid in a situation like this. I got told to grab my handheld game (no phone at the time, closest alternative) and sit in the kitchen to give paramedics space. Every time I poked my head to watch the paramedics setup, I got told to stay in one place and let the paramedics do their job. That kid is doing just as I was told to: keep quiet, keep still, and keep away.
Triple A possibly.
A wide range of ddx: perforated ulcer intestinal obstruction Aortic dissection MI we needs past medical, surgical & gynecological history to narrow the ddx.
Avoid excessive direct pressure on the wound, cover with a gloved hand, apply an occlusive dressing to protect from air embolism. Tachycardia with hypotension, lowered level of consciousness and pale skin indicates shock. Administer high flow oxygen. Prevent heat loss, keep patient warm. Start large bore IVs (16/18.) A C-Collar may block view of the bleed, if no distracting injuries are present and no cervical neck pain is present I'd avoid the C-collar. Helmet should be carefully removed if it gets in the way of airway management. Piggyback a 100ml bag with TXA infusion over a 1000ml bag of NS or LR and administer at a rate of 1g/10 minutes. I'd apply at least a 4 lead EKG since air embolism into the jugular vein can cause right ventricular failure. I'd have intubation equipment and Pads ready.
Top priority is to secure the airway with an endotracheal tube, using propofol as an induction agent, since this agonizes GABA, the primary inhibitory neurotransmitter in the brain, it will reduce cerebral metabolic rate and intracranial pressure. Once the tube is in, ventilate him with tidal volumes of 6mL/kg Ideal Body Weight, with a volume control setting, at a rate between 12 and 16 to maintain normocapnea and normoxia. Then administer either hypertonic saline or mannitol to reduce cerebral edema, which will then reduce intracranial pressure. Elevate head with reverse trendelenberg to promote cerebral venous drainage, and keep ETT ties and C-collar loose to prevent jugular veinous obstruction, which inhibits cerebral venous drainage. Continue to manage medically and transport to definitive care.
there is a difference between cerebral edema and an intracerebral hemorrhage. Manitol is going to cause a refractory icp spike possibly causing the brain stem to push out the foramen magnum and that's bad juju. I'd do vasodilators to get SBP no lower than 160 systolic. With hemorrhagic stroke BP needs to stay relatively high to dampen the bleeding and allow clotting. this patent needs intubation or simple BVM prior. The respers are low d/t the ICP compressing the brain stem not due to air way loss. If the patient has a patent airway NPAs are not needed. Sometimes less is more.
i don't know bruh im just a civilian 😭
Most obvious " head trauma". Basic assessment with trauma. Secure airway, intubate, IV, call for a chopper if available and if quicker. Of course spinal precautions. Keep monitoring while enroute to the trauma center.
Cushings triad/reflex. TBI with ICP. -IV diuretic. -Intubate and hyperventilate with high O2. -Full spinal immobilisation. -Reverse trendelenberg 40°. Super high risk of stroke and cardiac arrest, I'd be looking to airlift if possible.
But also I'm a nurse and haven't worked the ER in 7 years soooooooo
Hyper oxygenation causes cerebral vasoconstriction. With increased ICP, cerebral vasoconstriction would reduce already poor cerebral blood flow. Hypoxia can cause cerebral vasodilation and contribute to increased ICP. So Normoxia is ideal.
39.1 degrees is not normal temp, but not important. give oxygen try to get o2sp to 90%. risk for 30 minute transport is a stroke
Rub some dirt in it?
I have high concerns for concussion and internal bleeding.
Gettem some ibuprofen and like a melatonin or something i dont know i work in marketing
No swallow drugs if unconscious. That's a high risk of choking.
No solution mentioned thank you
SMR, Take care of any life threats, Full dcap. While maintaining c -spine, and hyperventilating the patient on high flow oxygen via bvm. Patient is showing signs of ICP. Maybe due to cerebral hemorrhage. Once we immobilize the patient on a long board and start transporting to a level 1 trauma. Depending on protocols. I would intubate. I would also start an IV.
EMT Answer: they exibiting signs of Cushing's Reflex. I'm calling for ALS. In the mean time I'm going to secure the airway with 2 NPAs and begin ventilating for the patient with high flow O2 and try and maintain at 94-98%, take spine motion restriction precautions, then have the rest of my team doing a thorough head-to-toe and I would apply a pelvic binder due to MOI. In my state EMTs can start IVs w/ PMD approval so I would gain large-bore IV access in both arms (preferably AC) for medics prior to their arrival.
You’re gonna put 2 NPAs with head trauma
@@josephb8499 if battle sign, raccoon eyes, discharge from the ears nose or eyes, facial trauma, or crepitus at the occipital region were mentioned in the primary survey finding, NO. I'm basing treatment purely off of what was stated in the scenario.
NPA with head trauma?
@@cessatiolux6250 contraindications for NPA are basilar skull fracture, and facial trauma. All that was mentioned in this scenario was a laceration in the occipital region. No battle sign, raccoon eyes, closed/open skull fracture, or crepitis was stated. If the scenario stated any of those things NPAs would be contraindicated.
Those vitals kind of jamming
While prone a quick spinal exam, looking for step offs. Cervical precautions. Cervical collar. Backboard to supine position. Establish venous access, keep line open, no bolus. Intubation. 15L/min. Trauma assessment. Thoracic look for failed ribs. Abdomine look for distention. Pelvis, check for displacement, pelivs sling if needed. Extremities check for major bleeding and address. Test reflex at extremities (he may be Glasgow 3 but this will test the connection to the spinal cord. If reflex response repeats (clonus) possible spinal cord injury. Load and go. Prepare for code 3 to Level I trauma center. I'm an A-EMT so I don't know all the drugs.
Awesome!
?? TBI and patient at risk of coning. Then into traumatic cardiac arrest. Adminster 2g of Tranexemic acid IV. Run hypertonic saline Iv. Head up 30 degrees and assisted ventilations to support respiratory rate and blow of CO2. If available a pre-hospital emergency anaesthesia and then rapid blue light transfer to trauma unit with pre-alert.
You’re going to give them a stroke giving TXA.
@@josephb8499 can you please explain how txa will cause a stroke for this head injured patient. I would be interested in understanding the pathophysiology of why you think this. I am also intrigued as to why they have spiked their temperature to 39.1. Many thanks
You're not going to cause a stroke, they have intracerebral hemorrhage TXA is contraindicated. They're already bleeding you don't give clot busters. @@davedave6472
Based on V/S & PERRL assessment, and the laceration to the occipital region, I'm going to assume Neurogenic Shock Intubation & C-Spine Precautions And possible helicopter ride due to 30 min transport Personally, if it was 15 or even 20 minutes I'd be fine with it, but 30? Nah it's air lift time.
BP is over 200. Neurogenic shock is low bp with low heart rate and. Warm dry skin
@josephb8499 See that's not necessarily true, as shock comes in two flavors Compensated and Decompensated, you could have high B/P in early stage shock as the body tries and compensates for it This was my first guess However you're right, this isn't Neurogenic Shock; this is Cushing's Triad: High B/P, Bradycardia, and an irregular Respiratory Rate Either way, my response is the same. I am going to maintain that airway with Intubation, put a C-Collar on them, and call in an airlift.
Nope shock would be low bp high hr/rr. Cushings triad is high BP low hr/rr due to ICP compressing the brain stem causing ischemic damage/dampening the heart rate and BP response.
