OBJECTIVE
Identify the correct sequence of priorities for assessment of a multiply injured pt.
Apply the principles outlined in primary and secondary evaluation surveys of ATLS.
Apply guidelines and techniques in the initial resusitative and definitive care phases of treatment.

PREPARATION
•PREHOSPITAL PHASE
•HOSPITAL PHASE
PREHOSPITAL PHASE:Coordination with the prehospital agency and personel can greatly fasten the treatment in the field. They inform the receiving hospital which mobilizes the trauma team to ED.
HOSPITAL PHASEAdvance planning for the trauma pt. beneficial. It saves time.

TRIAGE
The process of categorizing victims or mass casualties based on their need for treatment and the resources available.
ITS MAIN GOALS ARE. Prevent avoidable deaths. Ensure proper initial treatment with a
minimal time frame. Avoid misusing assests on hopeless cases.

Multiple casualties
No. of patients and the severity of their injuries do not exceed the ability of the facility to provide care.
MASS CASUALTIES The no. of patients and the severity of
their injuries exceed the ability of the facility to provide care.

PRIMARY SURVEY
What is the quick ,simple way to assess the trauma patient in 10 seconds?
A comlete sentence spoken by pt. tells us:
1. Airway is patent.
2. Breathing intact.
3. Good cerebral circulation.

AIRWAY MAINTAINENCE WITH C-SPINE PROTECTION
Assess for obstruction, foreign bodies, facial fractures, bleeding causing airway compromise… begin measures to establish airway.
PITFALLS
Recognize impending obstruction early before intubation becomes too difficult.
If unable to control airway surgical airway is must. Unknown tracheal or laryngeal disruption.

CIRCULATION AND HEMORRHAGE CONTROL
Assess for: Shock External bleeding Occult bleeding Estimate the blood loss on initial
presentation of patient and the signs and symptoms
Replace fluid accordingly, 2 litres of warm crystalloid solution.

DISABILITY GCS PUpillary reaction and size
EXPOSURE Undress the patient completely but
prevent hypothermia. Logrolling and looking for back of the pt.
is very important.

SECONDARY SURVEYSecondary survey does not begin until the primary survey is
completed,resuscitative efforts are established and patient is demonstrating normalization of vital functions.
It includes: Head to toe evaluation AMPLE history
• Allergy• Medications currently taking• Past illness• Last meal• Event/environment related to injury.
physical examination Reassessment of all vital organs.

POSTRESUSITATION MONITORING AND REEVALUATION
Reevaluaion for new finding or overlooked.
Continous monitoring of vital signs. Effective analgesia.

DEFINATIVE CARE
AFTER identifying the patients injury. Managing life threatening problems Obtaining special studies. If the patients injuries exceed the
capabilities of the institution.
![Page 30: Advanced trauma and life support (atls)](https://reader035.fdocuments.net/reader035/viewer/2022062303/5562b978d8b42a2e6e8b5723/html5/thumbnails/30.jpg)
Take home message
1. ABCDE APPROACH.
2. TREAT GREATEST THREAT TO LIFE.
3. DEFINITIVE DIAGNOSIS IS NOT IMMEDIATELY IMPORTANT.
4. TIME IS THE ESSENCE.
5. DO NO FURTHER HARM THE PATIENT
