Caitlin is a graduate of University of Northern Iowa. She is due credentialed as a EMT and athletic trainer. She's currently Aflac trainer at Jackson County Central in Jackson, Minnesota.
04:20
Inhalation is an active process that involves the contracting of the diaphragm downwards, the elevation of the ribs by the external inner muscles, the interchondral portion of the internal intercostals. Force exhalation when we really push that air out, that utilizes the respiratory accessory muscles.
08:34
hypoxia is when the oxygen levels in the body are inadequate to meet the body's needs. The body determines the need to breathe through its respiratory drive. The sympathetic nervous system also kicks in and we see it increase heart rate in an effort to circulate more blood.
12:51
Adequate breathing is the 2nd letter in assessing the ABCs. Anyone with inadequate breathing is at risk for hypoxia if the underlying cause is not identified and corrected. In respiratory distress, you may hear abnormal lung sounds with or without the stethoscope.
16:59
In respiratory failure, we start to see cyanosis develop or that bluing of the skin. As the brain is deprived of oxygen, we may also see the patient's mental status deteriorating. Once brain cells die, they don't come back.
20:55
In darker patients, it will be less apparent globally but will be more obvious in areas such as the the lips and mouth, the nail beds, conjunctiva, the palms of their hands, and soles of their feet. Missing any of these clinical presentations in a patient with darker skin could spell disaster for them.
24:40
In anaphylaxis, we see not only the blood pressure drop due to vasodilation, but we also see similar symptoms to that of asthma with bronchoconstriction and swelling of the airways. In sickle cell anemia, we know that red blood cells when healthy are round but it's in sickle crisis. Those round cells have turned into little cresence, which can physically block the vessels leading to decreased circulation.
28:54
Pulse oximeters are not always the most reliable method of monitoring this. If you don't have a pulse ox ready and available, don't waste time trying to find one. If your patient has carbon monoxide poisoning, They're gonna have a higher 2 reading than they actually have.
32:47
Caitlin: I think one more of a conversation. You hit some you hit on some really key aspects of just understanding the oxygenation, you know, ventilation and understanding what it means to have oxygen or too much. I think the BVM or bag valve mask is it's a really useful tool if if you have one handy.
36:22
Parents can be a blessing in disguise, and you can you can kinda turn the table, and use them to assist yourself in a way, if that makes sense. So instead of having the parent freak out and the kid freak out, channel the parent into assisting you by by kind of directing the parent to calmly talk to the kid.
39:59
Is so one-sided pale hand is associated with a breathing problem or something else? That's a great question. I would say you need to look at all of your clinical clues. So what what's their global presentation? What's the environment you're in? Do they have re nods? Is it more of a circulation issue?
43:30
A lot of it, I guess, to me, just comes down to being comfortable with your knowledge and your skill set. So with a youth athlete, I I watch them a lot. Are they acting normal? Are they presenting with normal appearance?
