their breathing.
An EMT should check for oxygen saturation levels with an ___. Ideally, the saturation
oximeter 94 99
level should be between ___ and ___ percent.
If the patient is breathing normally his oxygen saturation level is greater than ___
94
percent
Recognizing early signs of respiratory failure is key. If the patient looks tired, is

_______occurs because of a psychological trigger; normal lung sounds;
psychogenic hyperventilation
carpopedal spasms; numbness in face, hands, or feet.
The heart, blood and vasculature make up a_______, where all three parts interact
perfusion triangle
with each other to create circulation.
The primary function of the cardiovascular system is to maintain ___ throughout the
perfusion
body
____ in the carotid arteries sense a drop in BP, they send signals to the brain that, in
turn, sends signals to the body to do such things as increase heart rate, increase
Baroreceptors bloodstream the strength of ventricular contractions, constrict appropriate arteries, and even
decrease the amount of water being filtered by the kidneys so that more
fluid stays within the ___.
Your normal resting pulse should be strong, regular, and pumping at about____to
60 100
___ beats per minute while at rest.
Your blood pressure should be roughly around ___ mm Hg or less systolic and
120 80 about ___ mm Hg or less diastolic when measured at the distal bicep region of
the arm.
lower high Having a ___-than-normal BP is much better than having ___ BP.
Tightly connected to the cardiovascular system is the ___ system; what happens in
respiratory
one is often reflected in the other.
Under normal conditions, the patient's respiratory rate should be about ___ to ____
12 20
breaths per minute without any major effort.
_______is a condition marked by severe pain in the chest, often also spreading to
angina pectoris the shoulders, arms, and neck, caused by an inadequate blood supply to the
heart.
____ is an inadequate blood supply to an organ or part of the body, especially the
ischemia
heart muscles.
Patients with angina pectoris and atherosclerosis have the same signs
AMI
and symptoms as people with ____
acute coronary syndrome Angina and AMI are part of a spectrum of conditions known as________, or ACS.
____ shock is characterized by Hypotension; cool, pale, and diaphoretic skin; may
cardiogenic
have chest pain associated with poor perfusion.
An________is a weakening in the aorta's wall causing it to bulge out or tear
aortic aneurysm
(dissection) resulting in loss of pressure and bleeding.
To understand how the body works, you have to look at it as a series of
homeostasis
systems that interact to create the state known as ____
A Patient with an_______may complain of sudden tearing or knifelike pain in chest
or centered between shoulder blades; may have unequal pulses in arms or legs;
aortic aneurysm
may experience a rapid drop in blood pressure, tachycardia, or tachypnea. In rare
cases, may have a palpable abdominal mass.
When something goes wrong somewhere in the body, the systems work to ___ and
compensate
then combat the issue.
EMTs evaluate mental status early and often — even simply being sleepy may
oxygenation
be an early indication of an , ventilation, or circulation issue.
Checking for orientation status — awareness of person, place, time, and event
brain — gives you a more precise understanding of how affected the ___ is in
neurological emergencies.
Alcohol asthma arrhythmia allergic A mnemonic, AEIOU TIPS, can be used to quickly remember a variety of
