What do i do as a medical assistant if a patient faints?
A medical assistant can help a patient who is fainting by helping the patient get to a seated position. This lessens the risk of injury to the patient from falling. The medical assistant should then instruct the patient to lower his or her head below the knees. This promotes blood flow to the brain. The patient should then be instructed by the medical assistant to breathe slowly and deliberately. In the meantime, the medical assistant should seek further assistance from a physician or other healthcare professional. The source of the patient's fainting (syncope) should be obtained.
What side do you transfer a patient on?
When transferring a patient, the side to which they are moved generally depends on their medical condition and any existing injuries. For instance, if a patient has a specific injury or surgery on one side, they are typically transferred to the opposite side to avoid exacerbating that injury. Additionally, the side that provides the safest and most comfortable transfer for both the patient and the caregivers should be prioritized. Always consult with healthcare protocols and the patient's care team for the best practice.
How should a first aider treat a victim with a pelvis injury?
First of all, check the scene for any potential hazards to you, the patient or your team and take appropriate action to isolate or minimize the risk. Once the safety of the scene has been established, check for the patient's level of consciousness and their Glasgow Coma Score (GCS). Note down the history of the scene, the time of onset and the mechanism of injury (MOI). Call for an ambulance of medical backup. The patient will need to be transported to an emergency department. Advise the patient not to move to prevent the condition from worsening or causing pain. Gently palpate the area for any signs of deformity, crepitus, protruding body parts and any abnormalities. An analgesia such as methoxyflurane, entonox, morphine, ketamine or another suitable drug should be administered to minimize pain prior to immobilization. If the ambulance is more than 30 minutes away, immobilize the patient by binding the legs and legs together (padded in between). This minimizes the patient's range of motion and will prevent any worsening of the condition.
