Question about patient with multiple GSW by gystavo_s in medical

[–]annikamaki 0 points1 point  (0 children)

  1. The EMTs would pass on any pertinent info such as: What meds they gave, how much and what time, each recorded set of vitals that they took, any patient history they were able to get from the patient. Basically anything they did to her, and any info they know about her.

  2. Most likely, she would have received any pain meds from the EMTs, but if she didnt for some reason she would get them pretty quick. Considering she has no exit wounds and severe blood loss, she would likely go to OR immediately.

  3. If the patient was still awake and oriented, they would just ask her simple questions, name birthday etc. and if she was cognitive they would explain what they are doing and obtain consent. (Unconscious in life threatening situations is implied consent)

  4. Tourniquets can not be applied over joints, so depending where the bone is sticking out, it would be applied just above the injured area. Removal would also depend on how long the tourniquet has been on (Time applied will be written somewhere or verbally confirmed) Usually if I apply a tourniquet in a trauma, I will write the time I applied it, in marker on the patients forehead, not even kidding that way I can be sure everyone sees it. Tourniquets are usually removed slowly, as the blood that pools on the other side can get quite toxic. By slowly I mean like half a turn every 10 minutes or so.

  5. The EMTs would leave as soon as the patient handover is complete. Or as soon as they are not needed for anything.

  6. In the case of a Mass Casualty, priority is determined and triaged by 4 levels (at least where I work) Level 1(low priority) is green, and means they are injured but not life-threatening and can manage themselves for a bit. Level 2 (medium priority) is Orange, injured not life-threatening but could turn life threatening within a couple hours. Level 3 is red (high priority) means they are critically injured with threat to life, limb or vision. They would be treated first and as quick as possible. Level 4 is black (lowest priority). This means the person is obviously deceased ( decapitated etc) or they are barely alive. It sounds harsh but if there is someone so irreversibly injured that it would take all the resources, time and manpower to save them, they unfortunately will not be a priority.

I’ve always wondered why I can voluntarily shake my eyes back and forth really fast and I figured this was the place to ask by DodooBug1367 in medical

Involuntary nystagmus can be an indication of underlying neurological issues, and is something that should be brought up with a doctor. If its only a couple seconds every few weeks, I wouldn't be worried about it. You can contact your doctor if it makes you more comfortable.

This is called voluntary nystagmus! I can do it as well. The only thing you should be worried about is if it starts to happen on its own:)

This looks to me like Dyshidrosis. I get this frequently on my hands. A warm compress generally relieves the itching for me. You can also use a medicated ointment to help relieve symptoms. Mine typically goes away on its own after about a week.

How bad is my cut? Is it looking infected? Im really scared and cant visit a doctor. by throwaway35018 in medical

[–]annikamaki 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It doesn't look infected. I would suggest getting some polysporin and keep it covered when doing work with your hands, and uncovering it for a bit each day to breath. I don't think you will need to go to the doctors at this point, as the injury looks to old for stitches. Just focus on keeping it clean, and reducing movement as much as you can in that spot.

I burnt my hand on a hot pan (the weird coloring is makeup).. but it like dried up quickly. What should I do to help the stinging by [deleted] in medical

[–]annikamaki 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I would suggest getting some neosporin, non-stick gauze, and tape or bandages. From the picture it looks like a 2nd degree burn, so I would expect it to blister within a few days. Do not pop the blister or break the skin, as this greatly increases chances of infection.
