Treating an emancipated minor.
Treated as an adult unless pregnant and decisions affect fetus.
What is a respiration?
Breathing in oxygen breathing out carbon dioxide.
What is a ventilation?
Air movement in and out of the lungs.
Effects of GSW on the body.
Pierce tissue, shattered bones, dislocate limbs, sucking chest room, tension pneumothorax.
Who regulates the standard of care for EMT's and paramedic?
NREMT
Epidural Hematoma
Accumulation of blood between skull and dura matter. Usually caused by a blow to the head (linear
fracture).
Subdural Hematoma
Accumulation of blood beneath the dura matter outside the brain. Usually from fall. Slow present.
