Caso 6 “Jim was sitting quietly on the bank of the River“

UNIDAD 6. CASE “Jim was sitting quietly on the bank of the River“ *

Sixty minutes before the race, Jim was sitting quietly on the bank of the Cauca River. He was visualizing the race he was about to row. Two thousand meters of intense physical activity, pushing his body to the very limits of its capabilities. But sitting there, he was calm and relaxed, mentally willing his heart rate and respiratory rate down. He had done his stretching and warm-up exercises, but his heart rate was now just 65 beats per minute and he was breathing 12 breaths per minute. His body temperature was 37° C (98.6° F). He was well hydrated. His weight was 180 pounds.

That was an hour ago. Now, he was sitting in the bow seat of the Men's Varsity Eight. In lane four on the starting line, he could see two boats to his left and three boats to his right. The rowers all looked bigger than him and his crew, but then they always did. The starter on the shore was saying something over the loudspeaker but Jim wasn't paying attention. He was concentrating on being ready and was listening to his coxswain. These last few seconds before the race were the most stressful--you could feel the tension in the air. He knew that all 48 rowers and even the six coxswains on that starting line were feeling the same as he was. He was sweating although the air was cool. His heart rate was now 85 beats per minute and he was breathing 18 breaths per minute. He felt a nervous excitement. His mouth was dry. He took one last sip of water.

"All hands are down," he heard the starter say. He tensed his muscles in his starting position.
"Et vous prez... PARTE!" which was French for "Are you ready... row!"

Three short strokes to get the 60-foot-long shell moving, and then 20 strokes at maximum power. His crew was rowing 39 strokes per minute and water was flying everywhere. It seemed like he could hear everything--coxswains yelling, rowers grunting, oars and rigors banging. Mostly he heard himself breathing. He was putting all of his strength into each stroke, knowing that after those first 20, the pace and the power would come down some.
At the end of that first minute, Jim's heart rate was 201 beats per minute. He was taking two breaths per stroke, fast and forced. Their stroke rate was now 34 strokes per minute. He was sweating more now. His body temperature was 37.5° C. His muscles hurt--they felt like they were burning.

CASE 5

NORMAL AND PATHOLOGICAL CONDITIONS


Peter Santana is an 18-year-old man who fatigued quickly when he was taking exercise; yesterday he complained of lassitude.

At 13:20 on the last Friday in September, he was invited to spend the weekend at “The good life spas.” Today, all services offered by this booming recreational and sport center are completely full by an exaggerated number of people in search of better physical conditions.

“This is what I call a healthy body”, Peter says, who before a mirror of the room boasts of his superior train big muscles just because Erika, a slender and young student of the modeling Top Forma Academy.

-“Honey, look! Enjoy your sight! This is a normal man, I bet my body mass index (BMI) is normal and it corresponds to a healthy life.”

The gym environment is full of music and the people are working out conducted by an instructor. Suddenly, an anguished voice is heard over the loudspeakers at the end of the room: “Your attention, please! Your attention, please! This is an emergency! Peter Santana has just been gotten out of the pool in an unconscious state, we need a physician urgently.”

Among those present, was Maurice, a medical student who leans quickly over the body that lies on the floor and says to his companion: “Buddy, this guy doesn’t breathe, he’s blue and he seems not to have vital signs; I can’t feel his pulse, apparently he drank the whole pool, he’s frozen.

Fifteen minutes later after a series of resuscitation maneuvers performed by Maurice, he exclaims delightedly: “Thank Heaven! In this moment he’s got pulse: 100 per minute, blood pressure, 130/90; temperature 370 C, and breathing 30/min. After this, an ambulance rushed him to The Vegas Clinic.

Case 4

CASE 4

EMERGENCIES & DISASTERS


“Nancy, let’s trust in God”

In a calm morning in the Eternal Spring City, Nancy, as usual, walks quickly toward the Divine Incarnation Church convinced that her aunt Filomena’s predictions are not true.

“Get ready, lass, pray a lot that the end of the world isn’t far away now, these climatic changes are leading the world to an ecological disaster,” she used to repeat every morning when she left for the church.

Lost in thought, she did not notice the recommendation that a police assistant did her and who told her to move some meters further away: “Ma’am, we’re told that there is a car bomb with 1,000 kilos of dynamite in front of the church and it’s being defused, move away, please.” The young policeman hasn’t finished his words when a explosion is heard, due to it, cars were blown to pieces as well as people, buildings were collapsing in the eyes of onlookers and the pain exclamations of the injured.


.... What appeared a calm morning of May, it is filled of noisy sirens now, people run terrified over the rubble and mutilated bodies by the shock wave and the fall of walls.

“Buddy, let’s organize, evaluate the injured, let’s do a triage and let’s proceed to revive the people who really need it; let’s decide who must be taken to the hospital.”

“I bet these priests don’t have an evacuation plan in case of disasters and less the people of this neighborhood, be on the alert to the fire that there is in that house!”
