  1. Trauma and Cardiac Resuscitation Dr. Paul Pageau Staff Physician Assistant Fellowship Director EMUS Department of Emergency Medicine University of Ottawa The Ottawa Hospital

  2. Objectives • General approach to Trauma/Resuscitation patients (A-B-C-D) • Approach to patient with multisystem trauma (MVC, penetrating, and other) • Approach to asystole/V-fib/STEMI patient and resuscitation, including drugs and therapeutic hypothermia • Trauma code: Outline role of Emergency Physician, Emergency team, TTL, and other services

  3. General Principles of Resuscitation • Preparation • Triage (multiple and mass casualties) • Teamwork • Leadership • Communication • Crisis Resource management • Situation awareness

  4. Trauma A-B-C’s Primary Survey • A – Airway and C-spine • B – Breathing and Ventilation • C – Circulation and Hemorrhage control • D – Disability (Neuro) • E – Exposure and Environment control

  5. Adjuncts to Primary Survey • Monitoring • Catheters • eFAST • Consider transfer/ Trauma Code

  6. Secondary Survey • Head to Toe (finger or tube) • History and Physical examination • Continual reassessment of Vital signs • Complete Neuro exam • Specific radiologic evaluation (CT)

  7. Code One Trauma EP on duty +- Res/students, 3 RN’s (Chart, Action/Task) • Trauma Team Leader (Gen Surgery or Emerg staff) • Gen Surgery Sr Resident • Anaesthesia Resident • 2 Respiratory Therapists • 2 Patient Transport Workers • Advance care nurse practitioner – trauma • Clinical manager in ED • Trauma coordinator • Security • OR is notified • Trauma Dept is notified

  8. Code One Trauma • TTL is EP on duty until TTL on call arrives (<20min) • Gen Surg Resident may assume TTL role depending on Level of training • Anaesthesia takes direction from TTL but mainly manages airway +- pain medication • RN’s: IV catheters, monitoring, charting, other catheters, facilitating, anticipating • RT’s: Airway assistance, Ventilation, monitoring

  9. Trauma Case 1 Hx: • 11yo ATV no helmet, Collided with tree • Altered LOC, hematoma ant scalp, Ant chest contusion • EMS Vitals: HR130, BP80/60, Sats 90%RA, GCS=10, PERL • Long transport from Trail • IVF 1L

  10. Trauma Case 1 • Boarded and collared wet clothes • Vitals HR120, BP90/65, Sats 90% on O2, RR25, GCS=11, T34.8 tymp • Vomitting Primary Survey: • Airway: moaning, emesis on face • Cspine protected • Decreased A/E on Right, dull percsn • Trachea midline • Decreased Cap refill • PERL • FAST pos pleural fluid, neg peritoneal fluid

  11. Trauma Case 1 • pt vomits just prior to ETT • roll onto side and suction • pt develops pulseless VF when rolling • defibrillate 2J/kg X1 • vitals return to baseline

  12. Trauma Case 1 Secondary Survey: • Right hemotympanum • Forehead abrasion and hematoma • Right chest contusion • Pelvis stable, Abdo soft Disposition: • Transfer to Tertiary care/ICU

  13. Trauma Case 2 • Large Community Hospital. OB/Anaesthesia in house, Peds often in house • EMS presents unannounced with 35yr female MVC, VSA, 30wks + pregnant. Hx: • 35 yo female. 30 wks+ pregnant, Belted passenger, T-boned,. • EMS on site <5min: VSA, CPR and epinephrine X2, intubated, 1L NS • Arrival to ED after 25 mins downtime

  14. Trauma Case 2 Interventions?: • OB stat • Peds Primary Survey: • Intubated • Multiple right rib fractures – soft chest ?Air Entry on R • VSA – CPR in progress

  15. Trauma Case 2 Interventions?: • perimortem C/S • ?Chest tube R Secondary Survey: • Pupils fixed dilated • blood from L ear and visible brain matter R skull • Pregnant abdomen • Pelvis unstable

  16. Cardiac Arrest and ResuscitationPrinciples: Chain of survival: • Recognition and activation • Early CPR • Rapid defibrillation • Advanced life support • Integrated post-cardiac arrest care

  17. Cardiac arrest • Call for help, Defibrillator, CPR • Shockable rhythm?  200J  CPR • Asystole/PEA  CPR  Epi 1mg q3-5min, Atropine 1mg q3-5min X3 • Check for shockable rhythm q2min CPR • Treat contributing factors (H’s and T’s) • Consider antiarrhythmics: amiodarone 300mg, or Lidocaine 1mg/kg, • Consider magnesium 1 – 2 gms for torsades

  18. ROSC • Evaluate for STEMI  PCI/code STEMI • In comatose pts evaluate for therapeutic hypothermia • Stabilize, monitor, definitive care

  19. Objectives • General approach to Trauma/Resuscitation patients (A-B-C-D) • Approach to patient with multisystem trauma (MVC, penetrating, and other) • Approach to asystole/V-fib/STEMI patient and resuscitation, including drugs and therapeutic hypothermia • Trauma code: Outline role of Emergency Physician, Emergency team, TTL, and other services
