NY EMT Final Exam StudyMAST Review - -Systolic blood pressure has to be below 50 mm Hg. MAST
trousers put pressure on the legs to get more blood to the heart. Another
incident is systolic blood pressure below 90 mm Hg and an unstable pelvic
fracture.
-Which type of consent allows you to treat an unconscious patient? - -
Implied Consent *IMPORTANT*
-In anatomic terms, an injury midway down the left forearm would be
considered: - -Distal to the elbow because it is further away from the
shoulder (USE YOUR ARM AND ACTUALLY LOOK AT WHERE THE INJURY IS.)
-The systolic blood pressure is when the: - -Ventricles are contracting.
*IMPORTANT*
-Which of the following best defines the term "to auscultate" - -Listening.
-When examining a patient at the scene of an auto accident, you should
check for injuries to an extremity by doing all of the following EXCEPT - -
Manipulating the extremity for abnormal motion.
-The "A" in the mnemonic AVPU, stands for: - -Alert. V = Verbal, P = Pain, U
= Unresponsive *IMPORTANT*
-Foreign objects are kept from entering the trachea by the: - -Epiglottis
*IMPORTANT*
-In caring for a non-breathing patient with a stoma or tracheostomy tube,
the EMS provider must: - -Ventilate through the neck opening
-In one minute, what should be the least amount of rate on compressions? -
-100. (The rate of compressions should be 100-120). *IMPORTANT*
-What part of your hand do you use to do compressions? - -The heel of your
hand.
-A previously conscious patient with a partial airway obstruction becomes
unconscious, and the patient's "crowing" noises have stopped. The EMS
Provider should: - -Treat the patient as a complete airway obstruction
patient. Since the crowing noises stopped, the patients airway must be
completely obstructed
, -Pulse Rates: - -Adult = 60-100, Newborn (<1 yr) = 100-160, Toddler (1-3
yrs) = 90-150, Preschooler (4-5 yrs) = 80-140, School-age (6-12 yrs) = 70-
