What is a rapid trauma assessment?
||\\||\\ ||\\||\\ ||\\||\\ ||\\||\\ ||\\||\\
This is performed on patients with significant mechanism of
||\\||\\ ||\\||\\ ||\\||\\ ||\\||\\ ||\\||\\ ||\\||\\ ||\\||\\ ||\\||\\ ||\\||\\
injury to determine potential life threatening injuries. In the

conscious patient, symptoms should be sought before and ||\\||\\ ||\\||\\ ||\\||\\ ||\\||\\ ||\\||\\ ||\\||\\ ||\\||\\ ||\\||\\
during the Rapid Trauma assessment. You will estimate the
||\\||\\ ||\\||\\ ||\\||\\ ||\\||\\ ||\\||\\ ||\\||\\ ||\\||\\ ||\\||\\ ||\\||\\
severity of the injuries, re-consider your transport decision, ||\\||\\ ||\\||\\ ||\\||\\ ||\\||\\ ||\\||\\ ||\\||\\ ||\\||\\ ||\\||\\
