5. Primary survey A : Airway with cervical spine protection
ABCDE Even in penetrating patients (assume c-spine until proven otherwise)

Don't leave people on spine board
æ
B : Breathing: oxygenation and ventilation
Fine 02 sat, but could be not be clearing CO2
æ
C : Circulation: pulses and control of hemorrhage
D : Disability - neurological status (GCS)
E : Exposure (undress clothes cut off) & Environment (temp control stays 83-84,
warmed IV fluids)
6. What are pitfalls Fæoreign body
that make it hard- Maxillofacial trauma- not good visual
æ
er to get an air- Trachea or laryngeal injury
æ
way? C-spine trauma

Chest trauma:chest or penetrating
Shock:worried about o2 delivery to the tissues level of consciousness could change
quickly

Inhalation injury
8. Intubating be- Unstrap c collar and another person is manually holding neck (need manual
fore c-spine is alignment)
clear protocol?
9. In order to feel Carotid = 60 mm Hg
at pulse at the Femoral = 70 mm Hg
below areas one Radial = 80 mm Hg
must have a BP
greater than
Carotid =
Femoral =
Radial =
