Doctor Ronnie Harper just retired from the day to day rhino being an athletic trainer somewhat 30 odd years, 23 of that in the hospital setting. He became very interested in emergency medicine back in college, and I got my EMT in 1983.
04:16
A female athlete came in with a severe headache in the weight room. She had just done an intense workout, and now she sits down and says, my head is killing me. So she lays down on the floor, and there we are with my female athlete. She's laying there, and we gotta continuously do our assessment.
07:58
In the chat, what are your thoughts on major issues that you may encounter with managing this athlete in this weight room where other athletes are still actively lifting, is this scene safe? And do we have the big picture? So Chime in with me on this on this chat.
11:37
"I'm thinking more trauma than I am medical when I first inner in the weight room" "I grab a general med kit, right, basic wound care, basic vital signs, diagnostics, and I brought that with me"
15:22
The first thing you need to do when you enter a scene is control the scene first and foremost before you get all tied up into this patient. You can get tunnel vision. Once you lock into the patient, you you can have bad things come back and bite you if you don't manage that scene.
18:53
Athlete suffered head trauma after being hit by a weight. She was conscious, breathing and had rapid breathing rate of 30 or greater. She complained of a a generalized headache on a scale of 1 to 10.
23:00
The patient's level of consciousness is skin color and temperature. We have to go shopping throughout her entire body looking for clues that we don't have additional life threats. Chad, what body position is going to be the best for her body to assisted in overcoming the circulation demand.
27:06
I would put her on 2 liters of oxygen because it's a head trauma. And I'm not sure exactly what I'm dealing with this yet. Is it the priority of all priorities It's up there. It's worthy to go get and start that process. Plus, I need my suctioning device out of my our and kept.
30:58
How do you know at what point do you decide when you need additional assistance or additional so that, you know, after you complete that primary assessment, what What pointDo you wait? Do you move forward with who you know that this is based on this scenario?
34:47
Don't forget seeing size up. Make sure you do a thorough primary assessment and start your inner vent before you dig into the deeper, more qualitative information. You have enough information to start your interventions and decide Do I need any more help at that point in time? You don't need to do a secondary assessment.
38:52
Athlete is running on a track complaining of significant but generalized chest pain. He is pale, nauseated and grabbing his chest. He can't functionally move very far at this time. The athlete's breathing rate is over 30.
42:46
The patient is a senior track athlete in a college setting. He has a rapid bounding chest, and it's centered over his left chest long area. His breathing rate is above 30 and his breathing shell. There's a lot of debt space going on. He's not getting adequate oxygen to his loans.
46:37
"I don't like chess tightness. That's why I actually came. If they said his hamstring was tight, I would say, no. I'm not coming. You gotta get him here. So come and see me" "We did not go into secondary assessment. We did that's another day. We will actually bring this patient back"
50:26
I think the the importance of starting identifying what areas the patient is decompensating before and then really getting that rapid addressing the oxygen. Sometimes people pull the trigger too quick. But sometimes they should pull a trigger quick and get your attention to solve the potential problems.
54:20
The idea is you want to get them to manually lower hold their breath or you like the bag. You're just trying to stabilize your CO2 levels down to a better level. It's not necessarily a lack of oxygen. They have too much CO2.
57:50
Having equipment checks, make sure things are in there and operational when someone grabs it, you know it's there and have those mechanisms for that. So We are going to do this every month.
