Research Paper On Hypothermia
Students will be shown different places where you can put a pressure bandage and also different ways to use it.
Hypothermia:
Students will be shown how to treat the fifth category of the MARCH Mnemonic which is Hypothermia. Hypothermia is a condition in which the core body temperature is below 95 degrees. Core temperature is defined as the parts of the body containing the vital organs. Students will be told a few common causes of Hypothermia which are Environmental conditions, water immersion and trauma.
Students will be informed of the five different ways the body loses heat which are radiation, conduction, convection, evaporation and respiration.
Some signs of Hypothermia are an increase in respirations and pulse in early stages, and …show more content…
altered mental status.
Some ways to prevent Hypothermia would be to increase heat production. This can be done by moving large muscles when cold. Some other ways would be to move to shelter and also by turning up the heat in a vehicle if possible.
Hypovolemic Shock is caused by a sudden decrease in the amount of fluid circulating in the casualty’s blood circulatory system. Hypovolemic Shock can result in the casualty’s death.
Some signs of Hypovolemic Shock are anxiety, unusual thirst, being sweaty but cool skin, nausea and vomiting. Students will be informed the best way to treat someone suffering from Hypovolemic Shock is to do the following. Elevate their feet above their heart, loosen clothing, reassure, and conserve body temperature (not too hot, not too cold).
Students will be shown multiple slides which show how the mental status of a person decreases as they lose blood from their body.
These slides start with 5 liters of blood and show what happens as .5 liters is removed from the body. At 2.5 liters left in the body it is shown the person is probably going to die from this blood loss.
Learning Objective 4.
This area of training will be completed in a padded area. Students will be given a period of 5 minutes before teaching to stretch. Also the instructor will verify if any of the students have any prior injuries. Depending on the amount of students the instructor will have a person appointed as a safety officer.
Students will be shown how to lift, move, and extract victims from a tactical or hostile environment during Tactical Evacuation Care. Tactical Evacuation Care is the care rendered to get the casualty to an area where they can receive advanced medical treatment.
One person assist – the responding officer will place the arm of the casualty around the back of his neck. The officer supporting the casualty will hold his arm with both hands and help stabilize the casualty as they walk to cover. This carry will only work if the casualty is alert and still able to walk on one or both of their
legs.
