As an EMT-B, it allows you to identify that the patient has cardiac problems without going above your scope of practice. Explanation: An AED is used to treat pulseless, apneic patients in ventricular fibrillation or ventricular tachycardia. Explanation: The normal heart rate for a newborn is 140 - 160 and an infant's is 120 - 140 beats per minutes.
18 Ιουν 2023 · Let’s review the steps an EMT Basic can take to manage a suspected heart attack, including the use of oxygen, nitroglycerin, and baby aspirin. Recognition and Initial Management. Recognizing a heart attack can be challenging, as symptoms can vary greatly among individuals.
In this post, we will explore the anatomical structure of the heart. You will notice a diagram to the left. This lays out all of the basic structures of the heart that the emergency medical professional needs to concern themselves with. In a later post, we will explore the physiology (function) of the heart.
In this module you will learn how the blood moves through the heart during the cardiac cycle and the phases of contraction and relaxation that take place. You will also discover how the heart’s ability to pump blood depends on the pressure outside and inside the cardiac system and how to measure these.
Congestive Heart Failure. Heart failure occurs when the ventricular heart muscle is permanently damaged and cannot keep up with the return blood flow from the atria. Congestive heart failure (CHF) is the result of heart valve damage, a heart attack, or a long history of high blood pressure.
Cardiac arrest is described as the complete cessation of the heart’s electrical and/or mechanical system to function. This is not the same as a heart attack, which is caused from a blockage that prevents blood flow to the heart. Preparation. Safe and rapid response for a patient experiencing cardiac arrest is critical to survival.
