Your jobYou are the nurse for a patient with a tibia fracture in a cast. Raise the swelling and watch compartment pressure, delta pressure and the six Ps change. Then do the right first actions, in the right position, and get the surgeon involved before the ischemia clock runs out. Complete the challenges on the right.
Teaching model with simplified, rounded numbers. Delta pressure = diastolic blood pressure minus compartment pressure; under 30 mmHg indicates fasciotomy. Real patients vary; follow orders and protocols.
Fictional patients and simplified findings. For learning only, not medical advice.
Wrong picks are fine here. Each one tells you why.
