Repeated convulsions, Concurrent severe pulmonary edema or upper abdominal injury, Unilateral
dilated pupils
21. Define RSI accurately and Step by Step approach for RSI
- Rapid sequence intubation (RSI) is an airway management technique that produces inducing
immediate unresponsiveness (induction agent) and muscular relaxation (neuromuscular blocking
agent) and is the fastest and most effective means of controlling the emergency airway
- The 7 Ps of RSI are 1) Preparation, 2) Preoxygenation, 3) Pretreatment, 4) Paralysis with
induction, 5) Protection and positioning, 6) Placement with proof, and 7) Post-intubation
management

- Propofol 1-2 mg/kg IBW + (0.4 x TBW) (others simply use 1.5 mg/kg x TBW as the general
guide)

28. Goals of Wound Care
- Facilitate Homeostasis, Decrease tissue loss, Promote wound healing, Minimize scar
formations, Protect wound from trama or microbial contaminations, Reduce pain, Provide
psychological comfort
29. How to Manage the amputate parts
- Gently rinse off dirt and debris with clean water, if possible. Do not scrub.
- Wrap the amputated part in a dry, sterile gauze or clean cloth.
- Put the wrapped part in a plastic bag or waterproof container.
- Place the plastic bag or waterproof container on ice. The goal is to keep the amputated part
cool but not to cause more damage from the cold ice. Do not cover the part with ice or put it directly
into ice water
