TNCC 8th edition ALREADY PASSED
The major cause of preventable death after injury - ✔✔Uncontrolled hemorrhage
The best measure of the adequacy of cellular perfusion and helps to predict the outcome of
resuscitation - ✔✔Base deficit
Examples of primary blast injuries - ✔✔Blast lung, ruptured tympanic membrane, TBI, abdominal
hemorrhage
Examples of secondary blast injuries - ✔✔Wounds from debris and bomb fragments
Examples of tertiary blast injuries - ✔✔Blunt or penetrating trauma from the body being thrown by
the blast
Examples of quaternary blast injuries - ✔✔Injuries or illness related to explosion: burns, toxic injury
from chemicals
Examples of quinary blast injuries - ✔✔Injuries associated with exposure to hazardous materials
from the components of the blast
Questions to ask for airway assessment (need 4) - ✔✔Is the tongue obstructing?
Are there any foreign objects?
Is there any edema?
Are there loose or missing teeth?
Is there snoring, gurgling, or stridor?
Is there bony deformity?
Is there blood, vomit, or secretions?
Questions to ask during breathing assessment. (Need 4) - ✔✔Is there symmetrical chest rise?
Is there spontaneous breathing?
Is there tracheal deviation or JVD?
What is their skin color?
Are there open wounds or deformities in the chest?
What's the depth, pattern, and rate of respirations?
Is there increased work of breathing?
Are breath sounds present and equal?
3 ways to assess ETT placement - ✔✔1. Apply end tidal, assess CO2 after 5-6 breaths
2. Assess for symmetrical chest wall rise and fall
