  30. Case discussion

  31. Trauma

  32. Primary Survey • Airway • Breathing • Circulation • Disability • Exposure

  33. Immediate Life-threatening injuries to be identified during the primary survey • A – Airway obstruction, Airway injury • B – Tension pneumothorax, Open pneumothorax, Flail chest with underlying pulmonary contusion • C – Hemorrhagic shock, Cardiogenic shock, Neurogenic shock • D – Intracranial hemorrhage/mass lesion • E – for remaining injuries

  34. AIRWAY • Guarantee patency • Ask questions like “What is your name?” • Indications for intubation: • Decreased mental status (GCS 8 or less) • Obstructed or partially obstructed airway • Hemorrhagic shock • Ineffective respiration (flail chest) • Combative patients (respiratory distress?) • Potential for airway deterioration (e.g. high C-spine injury)

  35. AIRWAY • Assume a C-spine injury until the neck is cleared • Maintain inline stabilization or C-collar • Assume that the patient has a full stomach and is at risk of aspiration

  36. BREATHING • Guarantee adequate oxygenation and ventilation • All trauma patients should receive supplemental oxygen irrespective of the severity of injury • Airway patency alone does not assure adequate ventilation • Ventilation requires adequate function of the lungs, chest wall, and diaphragm • Assess respiratory effort, breath sounds, and oxygen saturation (if pulse oxymetry is available)

  37. CIRCULATION • Assure adequacy of tissue perfusion and control bleeding • Assess vital signs • Identify sites of bleeding • Chest • Abdomen • Retroperitoneum • Long bones • External blood loss (street and sheets)

  38. CIRCULATION • Control hemorrhage • Direct pressures on open wound • Ligation of bleed • Immediate immobilization/reduction of fractures in long bones and pelvis • Surgery

  39. CIRCULATION • Spinal cord injury protection • SCI may cause hypotension – neurogenic shock • Treat with crystalloids • Resuscitate • Place large bore peripheral IV access (minimum of 2 IV lines in hypotensive patient)

  40. DISABILITY • Perform a cursory neurologic exam • Assess Glasgow Comma Scale • If patient is intubated or unable to verbalize • V = M(0.5) + E(0.4) • Assess sensory and motor function of the extremities

  41. EXPOSURE • Search for remaining injuries • Reassess vital signs • Is the patient stable? • Has the patient’s response to fluid infusion and early stabilization appropriate? • Look for areas where injuries are often missed, like axilla and perineum (this means removing the remaining clothing, if any). • Logroll to visualize back
