6-sunrise 7-umc 8-valley
• Drowning caveats.
Answer: 1. Adequate ventilation is key 2. for patients breathing on their
own, start oxygen 15 L NRB; for patients not adequately breathing > BVM
3. Do not suction foam in airway, just bag through it initially 4. For
drowning victims in cardiac arrest, emphasis should be on good
oxygenation/ventilation > use traditional 30:2 CPR

a potential need for: A: intravenous drug administration. B: need to
administer IV fluids for volume expansion.
• Heat cramps.
Answer: Consist of benign muscle cramping caused by dehydration and is
not associated with an elevated temperature
• Pediatric burns thermal exposure.
Answer: 1. general pediatric assessment 2. stop the burning process with
water or saline, remove smoldering clothing and jewelry, do not remove
stuck clothing 3. ventilation management 4. cover burned area with dry
sterile dressing, do not use any ice, lotion, ointment or antiseptic 5. vascular
access: IVF age 13 and older 500 ml NS or LR fluid bolus; age 6-12 250 ml
NS or LR; age 5 or less 125 ml fluid bolus if signs of hypoperfusion or

• Neonatal resuscitation caveats.
Answer: Deep airway suctioning is no longer recommended traditional CPR
3:1 ratio is standard for newborns Most newborns requiring resuscitation
with respond to BVM, compressions and EPI; for those that don't, consider
hypovolemia, pneumothorax or hypoglycemia (BG< 40)
