L- Lab results (arterial gases, blood type and crossmatch)
M- monitor for continuous cardiac rhythm and rate assessment
N- naso or orogastric tube consideration
O- oxygenation and ventilation analysis: Pulse oxygemetry and end-tidal caron dioxide
(ETC02) monitoring and capnopgraphy
H- History and head to toe assessment
I- Inspect posterior surfaces - ANSWER ABCDEFGHI
Pt is at hospital in the right amount of time, right care, right trauma facility, right resources -
ANSWER Safe Care:
Before the arrival of the pt - ANSWER When should PPE be placed:
1
, Uncontrolled Hemorrhage - ANSWER Major cause of preventable death:
reorganize care to C-ABC - ANSWER If uncontrolled hemorrhage ..
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 deter-
mine 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 air-
way. - ANSWER Airway and AVPU:
ask pt to pen his or her mouth - ANSWER While assessing airway the patient is alert and
responds to verbal stimuli you should..
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. One provider can maintain c-spine
and the other can perform the jaw thrust maneuver. - ANSWER While assessing airway pt
is unable to open mouth, responds only to pain, or is unresponsive you should..
1. The tongue obstructing the airway
2. loose or missing teeth
3. foreign objects
4. blood, vomit, or secretions'
5. edema
