A GUIDE
Burns-adult #14070 - ANSWER - Estimate % TBSA burned and depth using
rule of nines.

body surface with dry, sterile dressing or sheet.
- Chemical burns: Brush off dry powder, if present. Remove any contaminated
or wet clothing. Irrigate with copious amounts of saline or water.
- Tar burns: Cool with water, do not remove tar

with nonconductive material. Cover affected body surface with dry, sterile
dressing or sheet
- Eye involvement: Continuous flushing with NS during transport. Allow
patient to remove contact lenses if possible
- Advanced airway as clinically indicated. King airway is contraindicated
- Iv access: Unstable- BP less than 90 and/or signs and symptoms of inadequate

, 500ml/ hr.
- Respiratory distress: Use BVM as needed. Contact receiving hospital ASAP.
Administer albuterol with Atrovent. High flow oxygen Is essential with known
or potential respiratory injury. Beware of smoke inhalation. Do not apply ice
water directly to skin surfaces, as additional injury will result. Intubate patient if
facial/ oral swelling is present or if respiratory depression or distress develops
https://www.stuvia.com/user/Mboffin
, due to inhalation injury. CPAP may be considered if indicated after consultation
with BH
- Treat pain with analgesics as indicated
Pain management #14100 - ANSWER Patients with a GCS of 15 or at
baseline mentation and have a pain score of 5 or higher and have: acute
traumatic injuries, acute abdominal/ flank pain, burn injuries, cancer pain, or
sickle cell crisis
• What drugs/dosages are used?
- Must always monitor and assess vital signs prior to administration of any
analgesic. After administration must continually monitor EKG and place on
capno. Reassess vital signs, capno, and pain scores every 5 minutes.
- Once a pain medication has been administered via route of choice, changing
route (i.e. IM to IV) requires BHO.
- Shifting from one analgesic while treating a patient requires BHO
- For pain and a SBP below 100, administer 0.3mg/kg Ketamine IVPB to a max
single dose of 30 mg. May repeat once in 15 minutes.
- For pain and an SBP above 100, administer 50 mcq Fetanyl slow IV/IO push
over 1 minute. May repeat every 5 minutes titrated to pain but not to exceed 200
mcq OR 100 mcq IM/IN. May repeat 50 mcq every 10 minutes titrated to pain,
not to exceed 200 mcq. Peds dose is 0.5mcq/kg slow IV/IO over 1 minute. May
repeat in 5 min titrated to pain, not to exceed 100 mcq OR 1 mcq/kg IM/IN,
may repeat every 10 minutes titrated to pain but not to exceed 200 mcq. Can
also use 0.3mg/kg of Ketamine IVPB to a max of 30mg as a single dose in 50-
100mL of NS over 5 minutes. May repeat one time in 15 minutes, if pain is still
a 5 or higher. DO not administer IVP, IO, IM, IN
Respiratory emergencies-Peds #14120 - ANSWER - Maintain airway with
appropriate adjuncts, obtain O2 sat room air if possible.
- Administer 2.5mg Albuterol with 0.5mg of Atrovent nebulized as indicated.
May repeat Albuterol 2 times and Atrovent 1x.
https://www.stuvia.com/user/Mboffin
, - If no response to Albuterol or Atrovent, consider 0.01mg/kg Epi 1:1000 via
IM no to exceed adult dosage of 0.3mg. Obtain vascular access at TKO rate
- If allergic reaction suspected, administer 1mg/kg diphenhydramine IV/IO, not
to exceed adult dose of 25mg IV or 2mg/kg IM not to exceed adult dose of
50mg IM. Need orders for patients 2 years of age or older
- If apneic and unable to ventilate, consider oral tracheal intubation for patients
who are taller than the maximum length of a pediatric emergency measuring
tape or equivalent measuring from the top of the head to the heel of the foot.
BHO may order additional medications or interventions
- Base hospital: for severe asthma / respiratory distress that has failed to the
other previous treatments, administer 50 mg/kg of Magnesium Sulfate slow IV
drip over 20 minutes. DO not exceed adult dosage of 2gm total. Do not repeat.
Allergic reactions-Peds #14140 - ANSWER - Maintain airway with
appropriate adjuncts, obtain room air saturation if possible. Administer 2.5mg
Albuterol nebulized, may repeat 2x. Combine with 0.5mg of Atrovent. Only
give 1x.
- If no response to Albuterol, consider 0.01mg/kg of Epi 1:1000 IM, not to
exceed adult dose of 0.3mg IM
- Administer 1mg/kg Benadryl IV/IO not to exceed 25mg IV or 2mg/kg IM, not
to exceed 50mg IM
- For symptomatic hypotension with poor perfusion, consider fluid bolus of
20ml/kg of NS, not to exceed 300 mL NS and repeat as indicated.
- Est IV/IO access if indicated
- For anaphylactic shock (no palpable radial pulse and a depressed LOC)
administer 0.01mg/kg of Epi 1:10000 IV/IO, no more than 0.1mg per dose. May
repeat to maximum of 0.5mg.
- If apneic and unable to ventilate, consider oral tracheal intubation for patients
who are taller than the maximum length of a pediatric measuring tape or
equivalent measuring from the top of the head to the heel of the foot.
