We kicked off this lesson in a lovely way learning that men are dumber than women. We learned that men drown at a much higher rate than women. Children under 1 drown in bathtub's because of ill-attentive parents. Children 1-4 drown in pools, 14-17 drown in areas not near adults like lakes and rivers because they are intoxicated. The leading age of death is 5 years old but head in injuries are 15-30 year old men. Non-hispanic black people have the highest drowning rates and China as a country has the highest drowning rate. This lecture also reinforced the idea of how important it is to do compression's. Drowning is defined as respiratory impairment because of liquid and the outcomes are death and morbidity, but some have no problems. Your brain uses 20% of oxygen in your body was an interesting fact I learned today as well as that you can have a heartbeat and no pulse. My favorite thing that was said was to strip and flip then stab and lab. Our theoretical patient will go to the ICU and we will learn more about that tomorrow. The coolest thing from today was the bone drill so you can extract bone marrow.
