Questions and Answers
Denning [Date] [Course title]
, what is the key to high performance trauma team? - Correct Answers: effective communication
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 what? - Correct
Answers: evaluating and anticipating the types of injury that may be present
MOI and energy transfer can assist the provider in evaluating and anticipating damage
what is the major preventable cause of death in the trauma patient? - Correct Answers: uncontrolled
hemorrhage
uncontrolled hemorrhage is the major cause of preventable death after injury so assessment to identify
uncontrolled hemorrhage is key to the initial assessment process
across the room observation in initial assessment provides the opportunity to do what? - Correct
Answers: reprioritise circulation before airway and breathing
across the room observation is done before the primary survey to rapidly assess the need to reprioritise
circulation before airway or breathing if there is uncontrolled external bleeding
which of the following accurately describes ventilation principles associated with a bag-mask device? -
Correct Answers: ventilate at a rate of 10 to 12 breaths/minute
if ventilation is ineffective assist ventilations at 10 to 12 breaths per minute or one every 5 to 6 seconds
what is the best measure of the adequacy of cellular perfusion which helps predict the outcome of
resuscitation? - Correct Answers: base deficit
base deficits serve as an endpoint measurement of the adequacy of cellular perfusion and when used in
conjunction with serum lactate help predict the success of the resuscitation
