MARCH mneumonicMassive Hemorrhage: Control with combat gauze, celox gauze, or chito gauze; replacement of blood loss with whole blood or 1:1:1 ratio of plasma, RBC, and platelets to achieve SBP of 80-90mmHg. Airway: Establish and maintain patent airway Respiration: Decompress suspected tension pneumothorax, seal open chest wounds, and support ventilation and oxygenation as required. Circulation: Provide vascular access (IV/IO) and administer fluids as required to treat shock Head injury/H...

Why is a measure of serum lactate obtained in the initial assessment of the trauma patient? Answer: ca) to measure oxygenation and ventilation b) to quantify the base deficit for the adequacy of cellular perfusion c) *to gauge end-organ perfusion and tissue hypoxia ** d) to determine the underlying cause of shock A trauma patient is restless and repeatedly asking "where am I?" vital signs upon arrival were BP 100/60 mm Hg, HR 96 beats/min, and RR 24 breaths/min.
