She is alert, appears anxious and is able to introduce herself in complete sentences without problem. Her radial pulse that you check on arrival is strong and regular. ABC’s are intact and you decide to continue with history. She states she has been pregnant 3 times and has two children and she is 32 weeks pregnant.

Q3. When you go on to your exam, what vital sign differences would you expect to see in any pregnant patient at 32 weeks? Choose 2 answers

• Decreased blood pressure
• Increased respiratory rate
• Normal heart rate
• Increased heart rate
• Increased blood pressure

Q4. On further history and exam you learn the following notable things (complete SAMPLE and OPQRST not included). She has had some mild abdominal pain that is primarily located in the upper abdomen. She reports this hasn’t happened in past pregnancies. The pain started 2 days ago. It is dull and constant. Nothing seems to change it. It is associated with a headache. She has a history of preecclampsia with her past pregnancy and has had normal check ups with this pregnancy. She does not have any other past medical history.

Q6. Answer questions 6-10 based on the following case

Dispatched to 21 yo female who is pregnant with unknown due date. She is complaining of abdominal pain and back pain. She has not been getting routine prenatal care and reports she might be “6 or 8” months pregnant. She looks uncomfortable and the pain seems to be coming in waves.

Q7. As you observe the patient and time her waves of pain, it seems that they are coming every 3 minutes and last about 90 seconds each. Your OPQRST questions on cut short when she yells that she thinks the baby is coming soon.

You decide you need to estimate how far along she is in her pregnancy. To do this you palpate the top (fundus) of the uterus. Which of the following findings would suggest she is actually close to a term pregnancy (38-40 weeks)

• It is palpable at the level of the umbilicus
• It is palpable at the level of the xiphoid
• You cannot palpate the fundus
• It is palpable half way between the umbilicus and xiphoid

Q8. The patient reported she has been pregnant 5 times including this one and has delivered 4 children. She thinks she is about to deliver the baby and when you do a quick visual evaluation of her perineum it appears to bulge with each contraction. You prepare to deliver at the scene and call for ALS back up.

Put the following steps in order for the expected delivery (this is not all the steps)

1. Put on PPE and create a clean field around area for delivery with blankets and drapes from OB kit
2. Deliver the lower shoulder

Q10. You successfully deliver the baby on scene. The baby is placed on the mothers stomach and dry the baby and stimulate it. You cut the cord after applying clamps and about the time the placenta delivers ALS arrives. Mom and baby seem to be doing well and an external exam of the vagina doesn’t reveal any sites of bleeding. After placental delivery however the mother continues to bleed significantly.

The ALS crew decides to bring you to the hospital with the patient for an extra set of hands. What is the most important intervention for treating postpartum hemorrhage in this patient besides initiating rapid transport

• Pack gauze at the opening of the vagina
• Look for lacerations internally

• The proportionally larger head predisposes the child to increased head injuries
• The presence of a normal blood pressure for this child is not necessarily reassuring
• You should place the child into full spinal immobilization even if they really fight it

Q5. On your rapid trauma assessment, the patient’s airway is intact, he is breathing spontaneously. He has delayed capillary refill of about 3-4 seconds. He is moving everything and on exposure he does not have any signs of bruising but does say his stomach hurts. His vitals are as follows: Blood pressure: 88/50, respiratory rate: 30, and pulse: 130.

What is your general impression of this patient?

• Stable for now, continue with secondary survey on scene
• Compensated shock, continue with secondary survey on scene
• Compensated shock, rapid trauma transport
• Decompensated shock, rapid trauma transport

Q6. The next call is to a 3 year old seizing. You arrive on scene and are met by a child who identifies herself as the sister at the door. There are 5 kids in the house and there seems to be general chaos but the scene appears safe.

B: He is intermittently crying but he does not appear to have any respiratory distress, breathing is slightly irregular but about 34 times per minute while crying C: he appears pale but not cyanotic, you don’t appreciate any mottling of the extremities.

Using the AVPU assessment tool, what is this patient’s score at most? Using pediatric GCS?

• AVPU= A, GCS= 15
• AVPU = V, GCS = 13
• AVPU= P, GCS= 9
• AVPU=U, GCS=3

Q7. Your impression from your assessment triangle is that this patient is sick and needs rapid transport to the hospital and you call for ALS. The child’s airway is clear. He is breathing spontaneously and has a gag so you administer a 15L/min oxygen via a nonrebreather mask. His pulse is regular at 120. There is normal cap refill. Mother describes the child having a episode where he went unresponsive, had shaking of his upper and lower extremities and lost control of his bladder. She denies he has any other medical problems. Vaccines are up to date and she reports he has been this level of consciousness for about 45 minutes. She states her husband kept telling her he would “snap out of it” so she didn’t call right away.

Based on having two responders present, your next steps should include?

• Deliver 2 positive pressure ventilations with an OPA or NPA and BVM
• Initiate single hand chest compressions at a rate of 100-120/minute
• Initiate chest compressions to a depth of ⅓ the diameter of the thorax using 2 fingers
• Place the patient on a nonrebreather mask for passive oxygenation for the first 2 minutes of compressions

Q10. You discover that you only have adult size AED pads. Which of the following are reasonable solutions?

• All ALS services have pediatric pads, have them bring theirs when they come
• Don’t use the AED, just transport to the hospital

More About This Course

Welcome to the final course of lectures in your quest to master EMT basics. In this course, we will cover some of the highest-stress patient populations: pregnant patients and kids, also known as pediatrics. To wrap up your EMT knowledge we will end this course with information about hazmat situations, extricating patients from tight spots and finally how you write a note about your patient care. You will learn to ensure it communicates what your assessment of the patient was, what interventions you performed and why you did them.

You will build on your knowledge of anatomy, patient assessment and scene safety to develop an approach to these new patient populations. We will walk through the things that make pregnant patients and pediatric patients different but also what makes them the same as all the patients you care for. Prepare yourself for some noisy kids, some uncomfortable moms and hopefully a lot of fun learning new things.
