Presentations and critical decision points is built on being a strong interaction with the audience. Doctor Harper will walk you through that process, but the goal is a decision making process. If you have a question, we encourage you to raise your hand just like this.
03:57
Sausa: "We're gonna, like, a Newcastle state and we're gonna get your phone out, and you're going to help us make this decision. So here's your options. You admittedly transport the patient to a medical facility? Like, you've got enough information to say, hey. Let's go. Do you take BSI or PPE precautions? To protect the athlete? Do you ask the athlete to stand or walk to assist mobility?" "Do you provide some pain medication? Give him some time now, give him some lead, start start trying to relieve some of his pain"
08:00
If it's a minor, you should already have the parents permission. If it was one of your athletes and the parents have signed off, that they have given you permission to treat. If you're working in a facility that that you don't know the parent name, you would like to have their medical records on file.
12:18
The moment that is altered mental status takes a die and begins to change, that is time to call for ALS. The body is decompensating and that means it's pulling its resources into his vital organs and something is going on and driving that.
16:48
The patient reports a stabbing pain in the upper right quadrant. Do you give him some oxygen? Do you elevate? Evaluate the circulation and continue to check for signs of shock or hemorrhage? That can be related.
21:07
Athlete trainer, sometimes we get we're we're conditioned in a good way, but it's also a bad way. And that you have to slow down Look at the physiological needs of the cell. They're not getting what they need. You have time to go digging to find out more information, but let's get these cells happen first.
25:11
If you have an on-site oxygen with your facility and what you have, just put a yes or What I know is that you don't attend the chat. In the chat, just say yes or No. If you don't have oxygen, what's the next best thing? Therapy. Conducted detailed OPQST about pain. Perform a detailed head to toe assessment. Now we're now we're giving ourselves permission to either dive in on his chief complaint or do me.
29:42
Brad: I would much rather call EMS get them on scene and then not need them because everything else panned out to okay in that process. Doctor Harmana: I think it's a great I mean, that's the thing. What what you said about calling calling earlier, you can always tell them no. But if it if but it's hard to telling them no when they're not even there.
33:50
You can put a VVM on them and still control give them some or control that breathing process. That's a great That's something we'll hit down the line of when when and when not to use a BBM.
37:58
Granite: "I respect the ability to multitask. And things like this, you can do lots of things at one time"
42:28
Doctor Harper: "We're picking up information at light speed right now, and we're in the back of our mind have to ask ourselves, do I need an additional effort resources at this point in time?"
46:42
Argus: She doesn't respond, and she is breathing. It's shallow. We've got some crackling sounds. That's what we know so far. Argus sells getting what they need.
51:42
If I can't get a radio pulse, I already have an indication that her systolic blood pressure is probably not over a 100, which would be an important piece of information as I check her radio calls. Anything above 30 basically tells us that when we take in a normal breath, it's 500 milliliters of volume of air, and we start breathing shallow.
55:25
The patient is in respiratory distress, a shallow and it is got some less crackling exam, and it's rapid. She's not responding to anything. Reject her pulse as we can thread it at the at the in the wrist, right, in the radio pulse. Reassess vitals if it's been within the 5 minute window or And I haven't even seen that yet.
59:13
I think you're catching the idea of where we're going with this. And I hope you've enjoyed this format. We'll send out an evaluation, and we'll be able to get some feedback. But we really like what we're doing here, and hopefully, you find it valuable for sorta.
1:02:49
We now have 44 courses in in that platform, all 100% emergency care, as well as we have some other exciting stuff coming on the pipe. So with that, thank you all for attending, and hope you have a a fantastic remainder of the week and continuing forward.
