he didnt mention the MOI, didnt call for ALS, didnt have a GI of the patient and forgot a couple other things. not critical fails but it could have been better
He suspected cardiogenic shock because of the flail chest very possibly causing a punctured lung/pneumothorax leading to a tension pneumothorax. Agreed he probably should have thought hypovalemic
cant elevate legs due to possible cardiogenic shock???? absolutely you would! goal is to keep blood flow to vital organs which raising lower legs apprrx 10-12" achieves/supports.
@@yourmom705 I took my exam so long ago I don't remember. What I did to pass my exam is I got a copy of the rubric they use for grading and memorized it all.
didn't treat life threats (Flail Segment, Femur) upon identification which is a critical failure in my state. Never examined back nor placed on backboard. BVM started before knew rate was 28 breaths per minute.
