This presentation is on, we're looking at critical checks, looking at the vital side of assessment. This is an area that you have to you're like, we go through the process and think about what that when you're when it's appropriate to do certain vital signs.
04:02
From a provider standpoint as a CPR process. What and, again, this is an indicator if they if you do assessment with someone and you have a rapid based on the type of pulse they're having. This is just a good chart to see just to know across the lifespan how we and, you know, if you have children, or a neonatal on up to adult.
08:10
If you have a problem with your heart, like a blockage, it may also affect oxygen to the Right? Now you have other chemical issues. If you're not breathing, you may be you're increasing the c 02 in the system. And then also then you start having acidosis and you get this other metabolic cascade going on.
12:17
Pulse oximeter is probably the the most undervalue device that we have available. It gives us so much information that when if I if I have a, you know, athlete, I have it in my kit, in my fanny, and in my pack. It help rapidly to identify and streamlines what I need to do.
16:08
We're looking at one you're not getting the full value that you would normally think that, but it is very valuable. 120 over 80, is normal for an adult, slightly lower, you know, changes there for adolescent we may look at versus a preadolescent, etcetera.
19:46
Strider is that that really hot pitched noise, like an airway upper airway blockage versus you're using wheezing It's coming more in the within the lungs, and it has, like, for example, asthma. And then crackles, and then, obviously, the last one, you think of grunting or snoring.
23:21
If they're having some decremental status or a slurred, then you can actually put it on your finger and, again, rub it on the on the gums without pushing it into them. And typically, it's gonna in 3 to 5 minutes, you're gonna see a response.
26:49
We focus a lot on a pit crew approach. You give if someone can do some of their vital sound assessment, do part of that rapid assessment, It just makes that shorter. Even if you're doing all those final signs, probably, you're gonna get it's gonna take them.
30:13
Both Ronnie and I are EMTs and we're both dual credential, and we do this already. It's the it's knowing how you're going to you've done that walk through regards to the pit crew is if you have one person. We do this very simply. Ronnie: Are you doing blood pressure effectively during an emergent situation or you forget to do it? Ronnie: That's the that's the bigger item.
33:42
So it's like we call mini mocks, and it's really important to tackle those in, get that first part in. The what you do and moving through the prime the same size of primary assessment, it's gonna it dovetails right into this.
