The og answer is correct, I’m just going to explain it a bit more. Since the code has been called, there are possible casualties and possible patients that will come into your care, but are not yet in your care. Your primary responsibility is to take care of the patient who is there with you. Elective surgery will be canceled and rescheduled. You should bring the patient back to their room and get them discharged as soon as possible. You will then meet with your attendings team and they will instruct you on protocol and your function until the code is called off or resolved

Are the triage decisions made in the field, in the ED, and in the ICU the same or different? In what ways?
never [62]

Answer:

Explanation:

ED triage: Used daily to prioritize patient assessment and treatment in the emergency department during routine functioning. Priority is given to those most in need. Resources are not rationed. Inpatient triage: Applied day-to-day in a variety of medical settings, such as the ICU, medical imaging, surgery, and outpatient areas, to allocate scarce resources. Priority is given to those most in need based upon medical criteria. Resources are rarely rationed. Incident triage: Used in multiple casualty incidents such as bus accidents, fires, or airline accidents to prioritize the evacuation and treatment of patients. These events place significant stress on local resources but do not overwhelm them. Resources are rarely rationed, and most patients receive maximal treatment. Military triage: Used on the battlefield, modern military triage protocols most reflect the original concept of triage and include many of the same principles. Resources are rationed when their supply is threatened. Disaster triage: Used in mass casualty incidents that overwhelm local and regional healthcare systems. Disaster triage protocols both prioritize salvageable patients for treatment and ration resources to ensure the greatest good for the greatest number.

Answer:

Left Cerebrovascular Incident (Left Ischemic Stroke) with right hemiparesis

Explanation:

Blood pressure increases when a person is involved in physical activity. A history of high blood pressure can result in weakening of the arterial walls overtime, this can lead to blockage of the arteries which means that part of the brain does not receive adequate blood and oxygen supply resulting in in cells of that part of the brain dying, hence ischemic stroke.

As a result, parts of the body supplied by the affected part of the brain will be impaired, eg. weakness, decreased sensation, etc.
