What can cause an inaccurate pulse ox? - ✔✔✔ Correct Answer > 1.
Hypovolemia
2. Severe peripheral vasoconstriction (chronic hypoxia, smoking or
hypothermia)
3. Time delay in detecting respiratory insufficiency
4. Dark/metallic nail polish
5. Dirty fingers
6. CO poisoning
Life threatening, caused by bacterial infection of epiglottis in children,
risk of complete airway obstruction. Try to keep them from crying. Do
not put anything in mouths. Provide quick transport to ER, focus on
maintaining patent airway
Flu - ✔✔✔ Correct Answer > 1. cough

3. sore throat
,4. fatigue

found underneath a tree? - ✔✔✔ Correct Answer > You need to
open the airway. If head trauma is suspected, use a jaw thrust. If head
trauma is not suspected, use a head-tilt-chin-lift maneuver
You encounter an unconscious pt. They have a pulse but inadequate
respirations. You open the airway and find vomit. What should you do?
- ✔✔✔ Correct Answer > You should suction the pt using
How do you use suction equipment? - ✔✔✔ Correct Answer > Can
use rigid (Yankauer/tonsil tips) or nonrigid (french/whistle-tip). Use
rigid unless you are suctioning a stoma or suctioning nose/liquid at back

throat, don't want to activate gag reflex. Turn on to at least 300 mmHg.
Attach appropriate tubing. Suction for no more than 15 seconds for
adults, 10 seconds for children, and 5 seconds for infants. Rinse with

5. dehydration
6. Tachypnea
7. Tachycardia
Often due to RSV infection, severe bronchiole inflammation. Occurs
most frequently in infants, especially boys. Provide O2 therapy, allow pt
, to remain in comfortable position. Reassess frequently and be prepared
to manage airway/positive pressure ventilation
Bronchitis Signs and Symptoms - ✔✔✔ Correct Answer > 1. Chronic
cough w/ sputum production
2. Wheezing
3. cyanosis
4. Tachypnea
Type of COPD, can be due to tobacco. When excess mucus created.

symptoms
2. headache
3. dizziness
4. fatigue
5. nausea

7. chest pain
remove them from scene, administer high flow o2 by nonrebreathing
mask. May need full airway control w/ airway adjunct and bvm
ventilation
