5. Reevaluation and post resuscitation care
6. Definitive care of transfer to an appropriate trauma nurse: Initial Assessment (TNCC)
2. (primary)
X- Assess for and control massive hemorrhage
A- Across the room survey, AVPU w/ cervical spine immobilization, airway
B- Breathing and ventilation
C- Circulation
D- Disability
E- Exposure
(interventions/ resus adjuncts)
F- Full set of vitals and family presence
G- Get adjuncts (LMNO)
L- labs
M- monitor cardiac rhythm
N- Naso/ orogastric tube (if intubated/ indicated by injury)
O- oxygenation ventilation analysis: SpO2, ETCO2
(secondary, complete after fixing problems of primary)
H- History and head to toe
I- Inspect posterior service while maintaining cervical immobilization
J- Just keep evaluating (VIPP)
V- VS
I- Identified injuries
P- Primary assessment

C-ABC; pressure, elevate, tourniquet)
Alertness (AVPU) with simultaneous cervical spinal stabilization
Airway (check patency and intervene w/ suction or insert airway adjunct)
B- Breathing and Ventilation
Spontaneous breathing, symmetrical rise and fall of chest, depth, pattern,
rate of respiration, signs of respiratory difficulty, skin color (cyanotic or pale),
wounds, contusions, abrasions, or deformities
Auscultate for breath sounds and heart sounds
Palpate bony structures of chest looking for any deformities, subcutaneous
emphysema, or soft tissue injury (bruises or seat belt marks)
If adequate breathing/ ventilation present: 15L NRB and assess ETCO2
If adequate breathing/ ventilation not present:
Open the airway, jaw thrust with second person, Inser: ABCDEFGHI (in- depth)
4. reorganize care to C-ABC: If uncontrolled hemorrhage ..
5. Used at the beginning of the initial assessment
1. A Alert. If the pt is alert he or she will be able to maintain his or her airway
once it is clear.
2. V responds to verbal stimuli responds to pain. If the patient needs verbal
stimulation to respond, an airway adjunct may be needed to keep the tongue
from obstructing the airway.
3. P responds to pain. If the pt. responds only to pain, he or she may not be
able to maintain his or her airway adjunct may need to be placed while further
assessment is made to determine the need for intubation.
4. U Unresponsive. If the pt. is unresponsive, announce it loudly to the team
and direct someone to chk in the pt is pulseless while assessing if the cause
of the problem is the airway.: Airway and AVPU:
6. ask pt to open his or her mouth: While assessing airway the patient is alert and responds to verbal
stimuli you should..
7. jaw thrust maneuver to open airway and assess for obstruction. If pt has
a suspected CSI, the jaw thrust procedure should be done by two providers.
