1. 2. The is the best person to control the Military Working Dog; they have
the most accurate information about past medical problems and the current
situation, and they have first aid training and can assist in care. Page 5: The Dog
Handler
2. 3. is the normal temperature (rectal) range for a Military Working Dog
at rest. Page 7: 101° to 103° F
3. 4. is the heart/pulse rate range for a Military Working Dog at rest. Page 7: 60 -
80 bpm
4. 5. T/F: The normal blood pressure for a Military Working Dog at rest is systolic
120 mmHg/diastolic 80 mmHg. Page 7: T
5. 6. Use the vein for long-term fluid therapy, large volume fluid delivery,
and repeated blood sampling on Military Working Dogs. Page 8: cephalic or lateral
saphenous veins
6. 7. T/F: When introducing a catheter into a Military Working Dog, it is accept-
able to create a small skin nick over the intended catheter insertion site to
facilitate penetration of the dog's thick skin. Page 9: T
7. 8. The arterial pulse of a Military Working Dog is best palpated at the
artery on the medial aspect of the proximal thigh in the inguinal area, or at the
dorsal metatarsal artery on the dorsal aspect of the proximal hind paw. Page
12: Femoral
8. 9. Pulse oximetry probes used for people (typically finger probes) are best
placed on the for optimal reliability in unconscious, sedated, or anes-
thetized dogs. Page 13: tongue

9. 10. What are the 3 characteristic breathing patterns typically displayed in
Military Working Dogs in respiratory distress? Page 15: OBSTRUCTIVE BREATHING PATTERN,
RESTRICTIVE BREATHING PATTERN,PARENCHYMAL BREATHING PATTERN
10. 11. When performing a tracheostomy on a Military Working Dog, make a
transverse incision completely through the ligament. Page 21: 3rd and 4th or
4th and 5th tracheal cartilages
11. 12. While placing an endotracheal tube in a Military Working Dog, you
palpate the dog's neck and feel 2 tubes. This indicates that the endotracheal
tube is in the dog's . Page 23: esophagus

12. 13. When performing cardiopulmonary resuscitation on a Military Working
Dog (MWD), begin sustained, forceful chest compressions with the MWD in
lateral recumbency (on either side) at a rate of compressions per minute.
Sustain compression for at least 2-3 minutes per cycle. Page 36: 100
13. 14. T/F: If single-person cardiopulmonary resuscitation is performed on a
Military Working Dog, the responder should only perform ventilation, as this
optimizes circulation. Page 38: F
14. 15. T/F: Conventional human tourniquets applied to the limb of a Military
Working Dog are an unreliable intervention to effectively control hemorrhage.
Page 42: T
15. 16. Calculate the approximate safe but effective crystalloid bolus volume for
a 55 pound Military Working Dog experiencing signs and symptoms of shock.
Page 43: 550
16. 17. T/F: Gastric Dilation-Volvulus Syndrome (GDV) in Military Working Dogs
occurs when the stomach rapidly dilates with fluid, food, and air and then
rotates along the long axis (volvulus). When volvulus develops, the esophagus
and duodenum become twisted, preventing the passage of stomach contents.
Page 56: T
17. 18. Hypothermia in Military Working Dogs caused by low body temperature
due to trauma, toxicity, underlying illness, or anesthesia and surgery is classi-
fied as hypothermia. Page 71: secondary
18. 19. Calculate the estimated percent of total body surface area burned on
a Military Working Dog suffering from burns to the head, neck, chest, and
abdomen. Page 85: 45%
19. 20. For PO supplementary analgesia of an injured Military Working Dog,
administer 5-10ml/kg PO q8-12h for up to 5 days. Page 104 Whole Blood
Transfusion (CPG ID:21): TRAMADOL
20. 1. How long can whole blood collected in the anticoagulant CPD be stored?
Page 2: 21 days
21. 2. How long can whole blood collected in the anticoagulant CPDA-1 be
stored? Page 2: 35 days

, BRAINSCAPE1
22. 3. If stored at room temperature, fresh whole blood must be destroyed if not
used within what time period?: 24 hours after collection
23. 4. T/F: The most important safety consideration in transfusing whole blood
is that donor red blood cells be compatible with the recipient to avoid acute
hemolytic transfusion reactions. Page 2: T
24. 5. How often SHOULD titer and transfusion transmitted disease retesting be
conducted? Page 2: at least annually if not prior to each deployment.
25. 6. In order to mitigate the risk of transfusion-associated acute lung injury
(TRALI), the Armed Services Blood Program collects whole blood from everyone
EXCEPT: Page 2: never-pregnant female donors, or from female donors testing negative for anti-HLA antibodies
26. 7. is the preferred resuscitation product for the prehospital treatment
of patients in hemorrhagic shock. Page 2: LTOWB
27. 8. Storage lesion describes the degradation of the RBC involving the loss of
what? Page 48. Storage lesion describes the degradation of the RBC involving
the loss of what? Page 4: membrane plasticity
28. 9. T/F: Fresh whole blood (FWB) is FDA-approved and is intended or indicated
for routine use. Page 4: F
29. 10. Fresh whole blood is to be used only when: Page 4: 24 hours
30. 11. T/F: Fresh whole blood should routinely be collected from pre-screened
donors as a way to maintain a routine inventory of Walking Blood Bank - Whole
Blood products. Page 4: F
31. 12. In general, whole blood units should not be collected from donors more
frequently than every weeks. Page 6: 8
32. 13. T/F: In situations where there are a limited number of donors and a dire
need for blood, no more than three units may be taken from a single donor.
Page 7: F
33. 14. Is there a known contraindication to using whole blood in pediatric
casualties? Page 7: No
34. 15. A massive transfusion in children is defined as ml/kg. Page 7 Infection
Prevention in Combat-related Injuries (CPG ID:24): 10-15 ml/kg
