0:00looking here now we're talking about
0:02common emergencies and with common
0:05emergencies there are several that would
0:07fall under that classification these are
0:10only a few but very important uh
0:12anaphylaxis very important and also very
0:15common and anaphylaxis is a severe
0:18allergic to reaction allergic reaction
0:20to anything uh for this particular
0:23patient they'll have an allergy to
0:25something maybe they've become exposed
0:27to it and their body starts to respond
0:30in a negative sense causing anaphylaxis
0:33anaphylaxis is considered an extreme
0:36emergency which means that we need we
0:38need to move very very quickly in order
0:40to be able to offer resolution and with
0:43anaphylaxis depending on the severity it
0:46could require basic life support perhaps
0:48administering additional oxygen
0:51administering an epinephrine treatment
0:53which would reverse the effect of this
0:55allergy and of course calling 9-1-1
0:58acute abdominal pain remember acute
1:01means sudden or onset this is a very
1:04general General symptom here however it
1:08can be life-threatening
1:10so procedures for this if you're able to
1:13obtain a detailed Chief complaint we
1:17want to know about the abdominal pain
1:18how long have you had it uh what you've
1:21had in your diet where exactly is that
1:23pain located on a scale of 0 to 10 10
1:26being the worst do you mind rating your
1:29pain for me so as much detail as you can
1:32get when it comes to acute abdominal
1:34pain
1:35the patient may need what's called an
1:38emesis basis and that's for use of
1:40vomiting
1:43we don't want to apply heat to the
1:45abdomen that could only exacerbate the
1:48problem however if they allow you to you
1:51would want to measure their Vital Signs
1:53and complete those observations as we
1:56discussed earlier
1:58bleeding bleeding can be internal or
2:02external
2:03we saw them both when we were looking at
2:06concussions
2:07blunt force trauma you may see that on
2:10the outside or you very well could just
2:12have the bleeding happening on the
2:13inside
2:15and the bleeding varies in its severity
2:18depending on the amount of blood that's
2:20being lost
2:22but understand that any blood that's
2:25coming from the arteries is going to
2:27flow very very quickly to the outside of
2:29the body so if it's an arterial bleed
2:32you're probably going to know because of
2:34the perfusiveness of the bleeding uh
2:38it's non-stop you can apply tons of
2:41pressure it takes a while to have an
2:43artery stop bleeding arterial bleeding
2:47can be a medical crisis
2:51and the way that we would treat this or
2:54stabilize the patient is definitely
2:55applying pressure to that site elevating
2:58that sign as much as we can
3:01if you have ice or an ice pack you're
3:03going to want to use it
3:06limit mobility of the patient
3:09of course we're going to continue with
3:11observations for shock and then we're
3:13monitoring the patient's vital signs as
3:15we go along
3:18here we have eye and ear injuries common
3:21cause is going to be from foreign body
3:23so maybe sticking yourself in the ear
3:25maybe
3:27um gosh maybe sticking yourself in the
3:29eye with something that could be
3:31considered possible trauma the procedure
3:33for Eye and Ear injuries is going to be
3:36to limit contact of the article if
3:39possible cover that eye or that ear that
3:43is considered injured and if needed we
3:46can do eye and ear irrigations meaning
3:48that we can flush the ear and we can
3:51also flush the eye if necessary
