You respond to a local swim park for a 29-year-old male who was stung by a bee and "passed out." Upon arrival, you find the patient unresponsive to all stimuli with agonal respirations at 6 per minute. You insert an oral airway and administer oxygen at 15 liters per minute by bag-valve mask. You notice that it is difficult to bag the patient. Your partner listens to lung sounds and states they
are very diminished in the upper fields and absent in the lower fields. What is the best action? A) Hyperventilate the patient. B) Request orders from medical control for an emergency cricothyroidotomy. C) Request an ALS unit. D) Request orders from medical control to administer epinephrine.
A fast, systematic assessment for life-threatening injuries other than those already identified in the primary assessment is known as:
A) rapid trauma exam. B) detailed physical exam. C) secondary service. D) head to toe exam.
