will extend from the corner of the patients mouth to the external auditory canal.

How do you calculate what size ET tube to use or toddlers and kids? - answer-Age/4 +4mm = internal
diameter

septic
The most common cause of shock in the injured trauma patient is _________. - answer-hemorrhage
Approximately ___% of the body's total blood volume is located in the venous circuit/ - answer-70
Why does shock actually reduce the total volume of circulating blood? - answer-Anaerobic metabolism --
> cant make more ATP --> endoplasmic then mitochondrial damage --> lysosomes rupture --> sodium
and water enter the cell, which SWELLS and dies
Which vasopressors should you use to treat hemorrhagic shock? What are the drug doses - answer-
Never use pressors hypovolemic shock - use VOLUME replacement. Pressors will worsen tissue
perfusion in hemorrhagic shock
Compensatory mechanisms may preclude a measurable fall in systolic blood pressure until up to ____%
of the patient's blood volume is lost. - answer-30
Any patient who is cool and is tachycardic is considered to be _______until proven otherwise. - answer-
in shock

How do you calculate total blood volume in an adult? - answer-70 mL per kg. A 70 kg person has about 5
L of circulating blood. (70*70) = 4900 mL
How do you calculate TBV in child - answer-BW (kg) X 80-90 mL
The blood volume of an obese person is calculated based upon their _________ weight - answer-ideal
Fluid replacement should be guided by __________, not simply by the initial classification (Class I-IV) -
answer-The patient's response to initial replacement
How much blood volume is lost with Class I hemorrhage? - answer-Up to 15% Donating 1 pint, or ~500
mL of blood is about 10% volume lose and would classify as Class I Hemorrhage.
Transcapillary refill and other compensatory mechanisms restore blood volume within 24 hours
