14. 5.0 Primary and Secondary survey Primary survey
aka Moulage
Medical emergency / severe injury
KNOW YOUR EQUIPMENT
SCENARIO CHANGES > START FROM BEGININNG AND RE-ASSESS
Inspect danger?
Response?
15. 5.0 Primary and Secondary survey AIRWAY & C-SPINE
Ask re c-spine injury?
Yes > equipment?
No = manual in line stabilisation (MILS) get a second person
Yes = immobilise via stiff collar, sandbags and tape (holy trinity of c-spine)
KEY OBSERVATIONS: RR, SATS, TEMP
Assess A
hear breathing sounds
look into mouth
16. 5.0 Primary and Secondary survey 1. airway obstruction
Yes > c-spine injury?
Yes > jaw-thrust technique only
No > head tilt and chin lift technique
fluid or foreign body?
Yes > use suction device and/or mcgill forceps (ONLY if see object AND confident you can remove it)
GCS <8 / O2 < 8 / no improvement in breathing sounds ?
Yes > add airway adjunct
Oropharyngeal airway (Guedel)
Nasopharyngeal airway (when gag reflex +ve)
17. 5.0 Primary and Secondary survey Improvement?
No > apply Laryngeal Mask Airway
Improvement?
No > call anaesthetist and ? ENT surgeons Endotracheal tube
Improvement?
No > surgical airway tracheostomy / laryngostomy
2. No airway obstruction> move onto B
18. 5.0 Primary and Secondary survey BREATHING
Assess B
Look, listen, feel for breath sounds
1. No breathing = treat as respiratory arrest

26. 6.0 BLS / ALS
27. 6.0 BLS / ALS
28. 6.0 BLS / ALS DRsABCc
Danger > Response > shout > Airway > Breathing > Circulation > call
1. check for Danger remove any cables or anything around patient!
2. check for Response shout > shake > sternal/orbital rub
if patient is responsive > recovery position
if unresponsive >
s = shout for help
ask: has there been any trauma which may have lead to a c-spine injury?
Examiner: no
3. check the Airway (head tilt + chin lift)
Examiner: the airway is clear
4. check for Breathing and Circulation simultaneously I am looking, listening and feeling for signs of breathing for 10 seconds and simultaneously checking the carotid pulse
Examiner: there are no signs of breathing and there is no pulse
29. 6.0 BLS / ALS c = I am now going to call for help; if my colleague was here then Id send them and Id stay here
dial 2222 or 999
hello, we have an unconscious patient here who is not breathing and has no pulse, we are on the ground floor of nhh, please arrive with the crash trolley and resuscitation team ASAP
start compression 1st I am now going to commence CPR by beginning compressions at a rate of 100bpm in the centre of the chest to a depth of 4-5cm or 1/3 chest depth
I will be alternating between 30 chest compressions and 2 breaths
Examiner: the crash team has now arrived
30. 6.0 BLS / ALS >>> NOW SWITCH FROM ALS to BLS
I will request one of my colleagues to take over with the chest compressions and another 2 of my colleagues will begin ventilating with a bag-valve mask via the Guedel airway, I will
1. switch on the defibrillator/monitor
2. apply the monitor leads and defibrillator pads/studs
3. use lead select and look for lead II
4. then I will assess the rhythm (ask team to briefly stop CPR again and look at monitor)
31. 6.0 BLS / ALS Examiner: gives you a rhythm strip to read
usually VF or VT initially
if VT, ask examiner, is there a pulse? (as pulseless VT is shockable)
5. this is VF, it is a shockable rhythm, so I will now select 200J on this biphasic (360J on monophasic) defibrillator
6. and select charge
7. ensure the area is clear top, middle, bottom away, self away, oxygen clear
8. quickly re-check rhythm in a split second and select shock for the first time
Now the team will resume CPR at a ratio of 30 compression to 2 breaths for 2 minutes
Examiner may ask: how can you tell that the defibrillator is monophasic/biphasic?
32. 6.0 BLS / ALS Examiner may ask: what is the difference between monophasic/biphasic?
1. With a monophasic waveform, current flows in one direction, from one electrode to the other, stopping the heart so it has the chance to re-start on its own. With a biphasic waveform, current flows in one direction in the first phase of the shock and then reverses for the second phase (to help start heart?).
2. Research shows that biphasic waveforms are more effective and pose less risk of injury to the heart than monophasic waveforms- even when the shock energy level is the same!
33. 6.0 BLS / ALS Mean whilst I will ensure that
1. IV access is attained
2. the airway is patent and that oxygen is being delivered (BVM should be connected to continuous oxygen supply by now oxygen cylinder)
3. once airway is secure chest compressions are given uninterrupted
4. electrodes are correctly positioned and that there is good skin contact
5. try and correct the reversible causes, the 4Ts
. And 4Hs
34. 6.0 BLS / ALS Hypovolaemia > fluids (not dextrose!) / o negative blood
Hypothermia > warm fluids
Hypoxia > 100% O2
Hyperkalaemia / Hypocalcaemia > calcium bicarbonate
H+ > sodium bicarbonate
Tension pneumothorax > needle thoracocentesis
Tamponade > pericardiocentesis
Thromboembolism > thrombolysis
Toxins > specific antidote
[nb Hypo/Hyper calcium, magnesium and potassium!]
35. 6.0 BLS / ALS Examiner: 2 minutes has now passed
I will now re-assess the rhythm strip (ask team to briefly stop CPR again and look at monitor)
Examiner: gives you a rhythm strip to read
usually VF or VT initially
if VT, ask examiner, is there a pulse? (as ONLY pulseless VT is shockable)
5. this is pulseless VT, it is a shockable rhythm, so I will now select 200J on this biphasic (360J on monophasic) defibrillator
6. and select charge
7. ensure the area is clear top, middle, bottom away, self away, oxygen clear
8. quickly re-check rhythm in a split second and select shock for the second time
Now the team will resume CPR at a ratio of 30 compression to 2 breaths for 2 minutes
36. 6.0 BLS / ALS Examiner: 2 minutes has now passed
I will now re-assess the rhythm strip (ask team to briefly stop CPR again and look at monitor)
Examiner: gives you a rhythm strip to read
usually VF or VT initially
if VT, ask examiner, is there a pulse? (as pulseless VT is shockable)
5. this is still pulseless VT, it is a shockable rhythm, NOW BEFORE I GIVE THE THIRD SHOCK, I WILL GIVE 1mg OF ADRENALINE IV AT A CONCENTRATION OF 1 in 10,000
6. I will now select 360J on this biphasic (360J on monophasic) defibrillator
7. and select charge
8. ensure the area is clear top, middle, bottom away, self away, oxygen clear
9. quickly re-check rhythm in a split second and select shock for the third time
Now the team will resume CPR at a ratio of 30 compression to 2 breaths for 2 minutes
State that I will give 1mg of adrenaline every other cycle (ie- every 4 minutes, as each cycle is 2 minutes!)
37. 6.0 BLS / ALS Examiner: 2 minutes has now passed
I will now re-assess the rhythm strip (ask team to briefly stop CPR again and look at monitor)
Examiner: gives you a rhythm strip to read
usually VF or VT initially
if VT, ask examiner, is there a pulse? (as pulseless VT is shockable)
5. this is still pulseless VT, it is a shockable rhythm, NOW BEFORE I GIVE THE FOURTH SHOCK, I WILL GIVE A ONE-OFF DOSE OF 300mg AMIODARONE IV
6. I will now select 360J on this biphasic (360J on monophasic) defibrillator
7. and select charge
8. ensure the area is clear top, middle, bottom away, self away, oxygen clear
9. quickly re-check rhythm in a split second and select shock for the fourth time
Now the team will resume CPR at a ratio of 30 compression to 2 breaths for 2 minutes
38. 6.0 BLS / ALS Examiner: 2 minutes has now passed
I will now re-assess the rhythm strip (ask team to briefly stop CPR again and look at monitor)
Examiner: gives you a rhythm strip to read
this time a non-shockable rhythm
either PEA or asystole/slow PEA(bradycardia)
ask examiner, is there a pulse?
5. this is a non-shockable rhythm, so I will give 1mg OF ADRENALINE IV AT A CONCENTRATION OF 1 in 10,000
Now the team will resume CPR at a ratio of 30 compression to 2 breaths for 2 minutes
39. 6.0 BLS / ALS Examiner: 2 minutes has now passed
I will now re-assess the rhythm strip (ask team to briefly stop CPR again and look at monitor)
Examiner: gives you a rhythm strip to read
this time a non-shockable rhythm
either PEA or asystole/slow PEA (bradycardia)
ask examiner, is there a pulse?
Examiner: there is no pulse
this is a PEA (commonly due to hypovolaemia), so I will give 1mg OF ADRENALINE IV AT A CONCENTRATION OF 1 in 10,000
Now the team will resume CPR at a ratio of 30 compression to 2 breaths for 2 minutes
40. 6.0 BLS / ALS Examiner: 2 minutes has now passed
I will now re-assess the rhythm strip (ask team to briefly stop CPR again and look at monitor)
Examiner: gives you a rhythm strip to read
this time another non-shockable rhythm
asystole/slow PEA (bradycardia)
this is asystole/bradycardia, so I would like to give ONE-OFF DOSE OF 3mg OF ATROPINE IV
Now the team will resume CPR at a ratio of 30 compression to 2 breaths for 2 minutes
State that I will give 1mg of adrenaline every other cycle (ie- every 4 minutes, as each cycle is 2 minutes!)
41. 6.0 BLS / ALS Examiner: 2 minutes has now passed
I will now re-assess the rhythm strip (ask team to briefly stop CPR again and look at monitor)
Examiner: gives you a rhythm strip to read
sinus rhythm!.. ask the examiner: is there a pulse? Yes
State: I would now resume post-resus care
42. 6.0 BLS / ALS Examiner: what is post-resus care?
1. continued resuscitation after return of spontaneous circulation
A/B intubation+ventilation? Oxygen via facemask? ausculate
C monitor pulse, ECG, BP, assess peripheral perfusion, auscultate
D/E - GCS
2. continued monitoring and investigations fbc/biochemistry, ECG, CXr, ABG
3. safe transfer of patient - to intensive/coronary care unit
4. ensuring optimal organ function
CVS: BP, Urine Output
Neuro: cerebral perfusion, control seizures, control temperature
Other: blood glucose
5. assessment of prognosis after cardiac arrest
Once the heart has been resuscitated to a stable rhythm and cardiac output, the brain has the most important influence on survival day 3 post-arrest: (1) coma, (2) absence of papillary light reflexes or (3) absent motor response to pain are independent predictors of a poor outcome - ie death/persistent vegetative state
43. 7.0 General Advice Practice makes perfect
Examiners can tell who has/has not practiced
Read emergencies section OHCM
For moulage know ALL equipment
Suturing practice with different forceps and be able to recognise them
ALS make sure you know how to use the defib!
Smile and be confident ;p
