🗑
What is the treatment for carbon monoxide poisoning?   show
🗑
Which fluids are utilized for fluid replacement in a burn patient?   show
🗑
show Weight (kg) x % burn (in a whole number) x 4mL = replacement amount for 1st 24 hours. * 1st 8hrs: 1/2 of calculated fluid * 2nd 8hrs: 1/4 of calculated fluid * 3rd 8hrs: 1/4 of calculated fluid  
🗑
What is the best way to monitor circulatory status?   show
🗑
What is the pediatric minimum output?   show
🗑
show 1. Hypovolemic burn shock2. Diuretic/ Septic Shock3. Recovery/ Rehabilitation  
🗑

🗑
What are the major electrolyte changes that occur during the hypovolemic stage?   show
🗑
show Metabolic acidosis  
🗑
Clinical manifestations of hypovolemic burn shock include...   show
🗑
show airway, fluid replacement, circulatory status, VS, weight, IV MSO4, NPO status, tetanus toxoid/TIGH  
🗑
What is the time frame for the diuretic/septic shock stage?   show
🗑
