Emergency Care and Transportation of the Sick and Injured, Twelfth Edition
Horizontales
A side-lying position used to maintain a clear airway unresponsive patients who are breathing adequately and do not have suspected injuries to the spine, hips, or pelvis.
A lack of oxygen that deprives tissues of necessary nutrients, resulting from a partial or complete blockage of blood flow; potentially reversible because permanent injury has not yet occurred.
Blood settling to the lowest point of the body, causing discoloration of the skin; a definitive sign of death.
The return of a pulse and effective blood flow tot he body in a patient who previously was in cardiac arrest.
A valve device placed between the endotracheal tube and a bag mask device that limits the amount of air entering the lungs during the recoil phase between the chest compressions.
The exchange of air between the lungs and the environment, spontaneously by the patient or with the assistance from another person, such as an EMT.
The preferred method to dislodge a severe airway obstruction in adults and children; also called the Heimlich maneuver.
A combination of two movements to open the airway by tilting the forehead back and lifting the chin; not used in trauma patients.
The total percentage of time during a resuscitation attempt in which active chest compressions are being preformed.
A circumferential chest compression device composed of a constricting band and backboard that is either electrically or pneumatically driven to compress the heart by putting inward pressure on the thorax.
A condition in which air fills the stomach, often as a result of high volume and pressure during artificial ventilation.
Rapid or deep breathing that lowers the blood carbon dioxide level below normal; may lead to increased intrathoracic pressure, decreased venous return, and hypotension when associated with bag-mask device use.
Verticales
A device that depresses the sternum via a compressed gas-powered or electric-powered plunger mounted on a backboard.
Noninvasive emergency life-saving care that is used to treat medical conditions, including airway obstruction, respiratory arrest, and cardiac arrest.
Stiffening of the body muscles; a definitive sign of death.
A harsh, high-pitched respiratory sound, generally heard during inspiration, that is caused by partial blockage or narrowing of the upper airway; may be audible without a stethoscope.
Technique to open the airway by placing the fingers behind the angle of the jaw and bringing the jaw forward; used for patients who may have cervical spine injury.
The combination of chest compressions and rescue breathing used to establish adequate ventilation and circulation in a patient who is not breathing and has no pulse.
Advanced life-saving procedures, some of which are now being provided by the EMT.
