recognition of severe injuries and injuries with potential to cause rapid decompensation ●For multiple victims: triage with initiation of life-saving treatment ●Stabilization and transport to a hospital capable of addressing the identified injuries Initial evaluation — Once triage is complete, the sickest viable patients are managed first. The Advanced Trauma Life Support (ATLS) evaluation guidelines put forward by the American College of Surgeons can be usefully applied in the field: primary (focused)

Dangel University of South Florida Cardiac Arrest – Drugs Administered during Advanced Cardiac Life Support and Associated Complications In 2014, heart disease remains the leading cause of death while cardiac arrest is one of the most devastating conditions patients and their families have to face. Despite all efforts to elucidate management of cardiac arrest and implementation of advanced cardiovascular life support (ACLS) survival rates post cardiac arrest remains at 23.9 % in adults and 40.2%

the National Trauma Institute, trauma accidents account for 42 million emergency department visits. Fortunately, patients today are quickly assessed and receive proper treatment in a rapid amount of time due to a program called ATLS or advanced trauma life support. ATLS provides a safe method for immediate treatment of injured patients using concepts of primary and secondary survey and prioritizing skills that help patients for a better chance of survival. ATLS is a course that is taught worldwide

ever evolving system, based on expanding science and technology that allows for the lay rescuer, or the seasoned paramedic to try and bring back someone whose heart has stopped. This paper will explore the history and general practices of Advanced Cardiac Life Support – or ACLS – as well as basic techniques, and how it has helped to improve survival rates in sudden arrest victims, as well as if there are better ways to tackle issues involving the correct or incorrect practices of resuscitation. Before

To calculate the extent of any burn injury, you need to know the areas that the patient is burned per body surface area. According to Code Health (2018), the adult rule of nines includes: total head 9% (front and back each equal 4.5%), the arms equal 9% each (18% total), the torso is 18% front and 18% back (total 36%), legs equal 18% each (total for both equals 36%), and the groin is a total of 1%. Code Health (2018) stated that you can almost use the patient’s size of their palm to determine

emergency room technician and witnessing my grandfather’s decline in health, I realized that I am both passionate and enamored with medicine. I find myself time and time again, inspired and exhilarated to observe and work with doctors, nurses, and support staff to help people in their time of need. My passion for medicine developed starting in the eighth grade. I received a call from my mother saying my grandfather was being rushed to the emergency room. The doctors explained that he had severe acute

the lives of others. Invasive Cardiovascular Technicians are knowledgeable in anatomy, physiology, pathology, cardiovascular pharmacology, basic and advanced electrocardiography and electrophysiology, physics, hemodynamics, and radiology (). They are also skilled in IV administration, diagnostic cardiac catheterizations, Advanced Cardiac Life Support, angioplasty, stents, and vital sign monitoring (). The purpose of a Cardiovascular Technicians is to assist the cardiologist with data formation and

feel that the only solution to their problem is to end their lives. Unfortunately, in some cases, the terminally ill or disabled are not capable of accomplishing this task by themselves, and are left trapped in a life that they do not want. In these cases, when one wishes to end his life and is terminally ill, disabled, or otherwise unable to do so independently, he should have the right to die by assisted suicide. Although most people that are terminally ill or disabled do not wish to end their lives

Dana Elaine Owens, or as most of us know her as queen Latifah, was born on March 18, 1970, in Newark Jersey. She was said to be full of energy and loved to bang on pots and boxes, unlike most girls, she wasn’t interested in frilly clothes. As she grew older she started to get more into rap, R&B , business and acting. Queen Latifah, or Dana Elaine Owens, should be recognized for being a role model for African- American women, having many talents of acting, rapping, singing and business and starring

exploration is the future of humanity. As technology improves, new solutions arise to answer the question of sustaining life outside Earth. Many types of life support systems are developed and used on regular missions. However, determining the most suitable life support system for missions on Mars presents a challenge that this paper will solve. This article compares different life support systems using the Equivalent System Mass (ESM), which measures the relative cost of hardware based on its mass, volume
