  1. Unit Objectives 1. Identify the “killers.” 2. Apply techniques for opening airways, controlling bleeding, and treating for shock. 3. Conduct triage under simulated disaster conditions.

  2. Treatment of Life-Threatening Conditions The “Killers”: • Airway obstruction • Excessive bleeding • Shock

  3. Treatment of Life-Threatening Conditions Components of a respiratory system: • Lung • Bronchus • Larynx • Pharynx • Nasal Air Passage • Trachea

  4. Triage • Immediate (I) • Delayed (D) • Dead (DEAD)

  5. Triage Pitfalls • No team plan, organization, or goal • Indecisive leadership • To much focus on one injury • Treatment (rather than triage) performed
