Which of the following statements is least likely to be associated with stable angina
Typically subsided after 10-15 minutes
Occurs after a predictable amount of exertion
Usually requires both rest and GTN to subside
Is characterised by a sharp chest pain rather than pressure
Common complaints in patients experiencing ACS include all of the following except
Fatigue
Headache
Chest pain
Palpitations
Hypertensive emergencies in older people
Required a controlled decline in blood pressure that often cannot be achieved in the prehospital setting
Can cause a ruptured cerebral or aortic aneurysm and should be treated in the field with anti-hypertensives
Are relatively uncommon owing to increased elasticity of the blood vessels, which facilitates vasodilation
Are typically treated in the prehospital setting with beta blocker medications or a slow nitrate solution
The most important single observation to assess the development of a intracranial haematoma is
The pupil size and reaction
The plantar reflexes
The changing levels of consciousness
The blood pressure
Heart murmurs are usually caused by
Malfunctioning of the valve or valves
Normal opening and closing of valves
A high pre-load
Heart attacks
As intercranial pressure rises
The heart rate acutely increases
The brain becomes hypocarbic
Cerebral herniation may occur
Mean arterial pressure decreases
Airway obstruction, tension pneumothorax and massive haemothorax are 4 of the 6 immediately life threatening injuries, the other 2 are
Flail chest and cardiac tamponade
Flail chest and pulmonary confusion
Cardiac tamponade and pulmonary confusion
Myocardial infarction and oesophageal disruption
What is the pathophysiology of neurogenic shock
A loss of sympathetic nervous system tone
Inadequate perfusion due to widespread vasoconstriction
Bradycardia due to increased parasympathetic tone
Central nervous system damage due to a spinal injury
In contrast to somatic pain, visceral pain
Is well localised
Indicates peritonitis
Is difficult to localise
Increases with movement
A patient who is profoundly hypovolaemic will display the following signs
Tachycardia, tachypnoea, diaphoresis and erythema
Tachycardia, tachypnoea, diaphoresis and urticaria
Tachycardia, tachypnoea, diaphoresis and pallor
Tachycardia, tachypnoea, dispedesis and pallor
