What is homeostasis? - (ANSWER)Homeostasis is the equilibrium, perfect, right
where the body wants to be.
What are two compensation mechanisms the body uses to stay at homeostasis? -
(ANSWER)1.) Shell Core
2.) Shivering
What happens during the 6-24 hour swelling curve? - (ANSWER)The majority of
swelling due to blood accumulation tends to occur quickly and will taper off / stop
within six hours of injury.
The swelling due to edema/serum accumulation -- which is a more gradual
process; can continue up to 24 hours post injury.
What is the shell-core affect? - (ANSWER)The shell-core affect is the
vasoconstriction of the vessels in the skin and extremities. It minimizes the
amount of blood flow to he periphery of the body and maximized the blood flow
to the core organs.
What conditions may cause the shell-core affect to occur? - (ANSWER)It will
occur if a person is cold or if they have lost significant amounts of fluid.
,What is perfusion? - (ANSWER)It is the exchange of oxygen and waste products at
the capillary bed level.
What is ischemia? - (ANSWER)Ischemia is tissue damage resulting from low
oxygen and build up of waste products.
What is infarction/Necrosis? - (ANSWER)Infarction/Necrosis is the death of
tissue.
What two body systems are most commonly injured in back-country accidents? -
(ANSWER)The skin and the extremities
What is a bleeder? - (ANSWER)A bleeder is a solid organ that is filled with blood
and is susceptible to high blood loss.
Where are bleeders located? - (ANSWER)They are located within the torso and is
protected by the chest wall cavity.
What mechanism is most likely to injure bleeders? - (ANSWER)Blunt force trauma
What is a spiller? - (ANSWER)A hollow organ that contains little blood and is quite
pliable.
What mechanism is most likely to injure spillers? - (ANSWER)A penetrating force.
, What are the six wilderness protocols that we learned in the WFR class? (You
cannot perform these skills in an urban environment) - (ANSWER)1.) Spine
assessment and spine clearance
2.) Reduction of a simple dislocation
3.) High risk wound care and the removal of an impaled object.
4.) Treatment of anaphylactic shock
5.) Treatment of severe asthma
6.) Cessation of CPR
Define "Shock". - (ANSWER)Shock is the prolonged loss of blood pressure in the
circulatory system leading to ischemia of the vital organs/tissues of the body.
What are the three types of shocks? - (ANSWER)1.) Cardiogenic shock
2.) Vascular shock
3.) Hypovolemic shock
