0:00let's go back in and discuss some other
0:03common medical emergencies that you may
0:05come in contact with and have to assist
0:07with in your field of practice we have
0:10seizures and we have strokes now with
0:12seizures seizures have many reasons as
0:14to why they arise uh it can result from
0:18trauma
0:20and they have a range we have what's
0:22called a grand mal seizure to a petite
0:24Mall grandma is going to be on the
0:28larger scale whereas short or or I'm
0:30sorry petite mall it's going to be on
0:32the shorter lasting side of a seizure
0:36if you were to notice a patient that had
0:39a seizure you'd want to assist them into
0:41a lying recovery position
0:44you want to protect the patient if
0:46they're on the ground in a busy
0:48situation make sure that you create
0:50boundaries so people know that something
0:52is happening there
0:54till the patient's head to the side
0:58stay with the patient continue to
1:00observe the patient and if this
1:03continues you would have called or
1:05someone else would have called 9-1-1 for
1:07future treatment
1:11over to the right we have strokes and
1:13strokes result from hypoxia
1:17uh with strokes this is a blood clot or
1:20a rupture of a blood vessel
1:22the patient will experience signs of
1:25weakness and paralysis
1:28and they may also have some difficulty
1:30with recalling certain words in speech
1:35if you were to witness something on this
1:37magnitude you would absolutely try to
1:40protect the patient
1:42obtain any Vital sign that you're able
1:45to and if necessary because this is uh
1:49or results from hypoxia you may have to
1:52administer oxygen
1:54now in reference to the CPR in AED now
1:58this is going to be a requirement that
2:01you all will want to fulfill once you're
2:03done with the stuff program it would be
2:05beneficial for each one of you to make
2:07sure that your CPR is certified
2:10and M.A should be certified in CPR and
2:14we don't want to just keep that
2:15knowledge with us once we learn
2:17something that has so much value pass it
2:20around make sure that everyone in your
2:22family anyone that watches your children
2:24any one of your loved ones make sure
2:26that they all know how to perform CPR
2:30with CPR it's very basic uh it has
2:33what's called a rate
2:35and the rate is going to be from 100 to
2:38120 chest compressions per minute
2:42and in between those chest compressions
2:45we're going to also administer what's
2:47called rescue breaths
2:49and in those rescue breasts for every
2:51three times that you compress on a
2:54patient's chest for every 30 times
2:56you're going to stop and you're going to
2:58give two breaths into the patient's
3:00mouth
3:01once you've done that we don't see any
3:03changes we go back to our routine of CPR
3:08the AED is a little bit different and so
3:12the AED acts on electrical activity and
3:16it's programmed to really give your
3:18heart a wake-up call
3:20so an AED automated external
3:22defibrillator and this is going to be
3:24for patients that experience Cardiac
3:26Arrest ventricular fib
3:30it does have an automatic voice that
3:33speaks to you and tells you that it's
3:35evaluating the situation and it's going
3:38to give you next steps
3:41so if it's giving you next steps please
3:43make sure that you are abiding by those
3:46next steps so following the commands
3:50and we don't want to throw off the
3:53reading of the AED so we want to avoid
3:56touching any metal during the process
4:01this again is something that you can go
4:03and acquire further treatment or further
4:06uh education I'm sorry
4:09so I would suggest that each one of you
4:11if you're not already CPR certified make
4:15sure that you do enroll in a CPR
4:17certification course
4:20and as I shared before once you learn it
4:22share it with all of those that you love
4:25everyone that's around you
4:27wrapping this lesson up with our key
4:29terms we start at the top with cabs and
4:32c a b stands for circulation Airway and
4:35breathing
4:37abrasion is going to be an injury from a
4:40scrape or a rub
4:42incision and laceration they're both
4:44wounds incision is going to be more of a
4:47clean cut laceration typically is going
4:49to be deeper and more jagged
4:53puncture wound is like a stab wound
4:57contusion is a bruise concussion
5:00involves the head it's trauma where the
5:02brain has been shaken unexpectedly
5:06strain due to excessive over stretching
5:09of a muscle or tendon whereas spraying
5:11is going to be injury due to a tearing
5:14of a tendon or ligament so over
5:17stretching for our strain tearing for
5:20our sprain
5:24diabetic coma
5:26is in reference to one who has hyper
5:30glycemia so this is going to be a high
5:33blood sugar and abnormally large blood
5:36sugar level
5:38and then hypoglycemia someone who
5:40experiences low blood sugar
5:45next you have the term syncope syncope
5:47references fainting epistaxis is a
5:51nosebleed myocardial infarction it's
5:53going to be a heart attack and then we
5:55have a CVA cerebrovascular accident
5:58which is a stroke
