Imperial County REACH field transport to RCHSDCASE Study Field transport of 2 year old 24% 52% 77%
Timeline -Child injured approximately 1930. -Child arrived at RCHSD Trauma room at 2123 (< 2 hours) -2150 In CT -2200 In PICU
Resuscitation Phase of Care Primary survey:A&B=BVM Ventilation Breath sounds = and O2 Sats 100, C=HR 140, BP 88/34, Pulses palpable, CRT 2 sec Neuro exam: Pupils equal 6 and sluggishly reactive to 5 bilaterally. Moves all extremities to pain. Secondary survey: Bogginess behind both ears, stepoff behind R ear, bloody discharge from left ear. No other obvious injuries. Resus room imaging: Lateral c-spine XR and CXR negative.
Identified Injuries on imaging: Head: -Multiple skull fractures including BSF and longitudinal temporal bone fracture with disruption of ossicles and CSF otorrhea. -Facial nerve disruption. -Subdural hemorrhage Chest: Bilateral small pneumothoraces and multiple pulmonary contusions. Pelvis: Buckle fracture of the R iliac bone. Spine/Extremities: No injuries found.
Hospital Course PICU Days: 10 Hospital days: 12 Specialists involved: Trauma Ophthalomology Intensive care Audiology Orthopedics OR team (2 operations) Infectious Disease ENT Neurosurgery Neurology
Outcome -Developmentally back to baseline. -Improving facial palsy-full resolution will take approximately one year (now able to close her eyes at night.) -Mixed hearing loss in one ear-especially at high frequency. -Limp from iliac buckle fracture resolved completely.
REACH/RCHSD collaboration REACH services facilitates direct transports from scene-decreasing time to pediatric trauma center for critical patients. A goal we had been working toward for many years!! This effort requires: • Refined communication with San Diego base stations to optimize communication with receiving hospital prior to arrival. • Effective system for REACH documentation to be available to the receiving hospital team and medical record. • An open and collaborative approach to PI follow-up. All Achieved!!
REACH/RCHSD collaborationfor the future • Joint Imperial County education offerings • Joint field care audit case presentations
