What should you ask yourself after completing all of your interventions and reassessments? ~~> Does this patient need to be transferred to another hospital, to surgery, or to critical care? What happens prior to patient arrival? 1-3 ~~> 1. Activate trauma team 2. Prepare trauma room 3. Don PPE What happens following patient arrival but before a decision to intubate has been made? 4-8 may change based on C-ABC ~~> 4. Assess for obvious uncontrolled external hemorrhage or...

What is the best measure of the adequacy of cellular perfusion and helps predict the outcome of resuscitation? ~~> Base deficit used in conjunction with serum lactate Will hypocapnia cause vasoconstriction or vasodilation, especially in the cerebral vasculature? ~~> Vasoconstriction What results from tissue hypo perfusion and oxygen deficit? ~~> Metabolic acidosis What type of shock results in generalized vasodilation? ~~> Neurogenic shock Spinal cord injuries at C3-C...

What is the key to a high performing trauma team? ~~> effective communication rationale: skilled communication, cooperation, and coordination are the cornerstones of high-performance teams and high-quality trauma care When obtaining a history for an injured patient, understanding the kinematic concepts associated with the mechanism of injury and energy transfer can initially assist the trauma provider in: ~~> evaluating and anticipating the types of injuries that may be prese...

You are treating a 27-year old male in respiratory distress who was involved in a house fire. Calculating TBSA burned is deferred d/t the need for emergent intubation. At what rate should you begin fluid resuscitation? A) 1000 mL/hr B) 500 mL/hr C) 250 mL/hr D) 125 mL/hr ~~> B) 500 mL/hr A patient has been in the ED for several hours waiting to be admitted. He sustained multiple rib fractures and a femur fracture after a fall. He has been awake, alert, and c/o leg pain. His wi...
