ASSUARED
What roles are vital to a trauma team?
-The patient
-The team leader
-Core team
-Contigency and support services
What are the characteristics of an effective team?
- Clear roles and responsibilities
- Shared mental model
- Optimize resources
- Strong team leadership
- Engage in regular discipline of feedback
- Strong sense of collective trust and confidence
- Create mechanisms to cooperate and coordinate
- Manage and optimize performance outcomes
-Interdependent and adaptive
What tools can be used to promote communication within a team structure? What are the
benefits of each?
- Brief: designed to form the team, designate team roles and responsibilities, establish
climate and goals, and engage the team in short and long-term planning
- Huddle: ideally convened prior to trauma patient's arrival; communicate critical
issues and emerging events, anticipate outcomes and likely contingencies, assign
resources, express concerns
- Debrief: process
improvement Define
trauma
Injury to living tissue caused by an extrinsic agent; creates stressors that exceed tissue or
organ's ability to compensate
Define epidemiology

QUESTIONS WITH ANSWERS A+ SUCCESS
ASSUARED
Study of factors that determine and influence the frequency and distribution of injury,
disease, and other health-related events and their causes in a defined human
population
When is the potential for traumatic injury
present? Whenever energy comes in contact
with the human body Define kinematics
The study of energy transfer as it applies to identifying actual or
intentional injuries Define biomechanics
The general study of forces and their
effects Define mechanism of injury
How external forces are transferred to the body, resulting in
injury Define potential energy
Stored energy; "at
rest" Define kinetic
energy Energy in
motion
Describe Newton's First Law of Motion
A body at rest will remain at rest, and a body in motion will stay in motion unless acted
upon by an outside force (energy)
Describe Newton's Second Law of Motion
(F)orce = (m)ass x (a)cceleration; It takes more force to move a
heavy object Describe Newton's Third Law of Motion
For every action, there is an equal and opposite reaction resulting from the
transfer of energy Describe the Law of Conservation of Energy
Energy can neither be created nor destroyed, but it can
change form What are the five forms in which energy exist?

ASSUARED
- Electrical
- Radiant
The consequences of mechanical energy are directly related to energy
Kinetic
Kinetic Energy (KE) is equal to
1/2 the mass multiplied by the velocity squared
In other words: when mass is doubled, energy is doubled; when velocity is doubled, energy
is quadrupled Kinetic Energy formula
KE=1/2mv^2
Differentiate between internal and external forces of energy transfer in the context or
trauma.
External forces are how energy can impact the body (e.g., deceleration, acceleration,
compression). Internal forces represent the ability of the body to withstand external
forces.
How do internal forces protect the body from injury?
- Compression strength: ability of tissue to resist crush injury or force
- Tensile strength: ability to resist being pulled apart when stretched
- Shear strength: ability to resist a force applied parallel
to the tissue List four main types of traumatic injury
- Blunt trauma
- Penetrating trauma
- Thermal trauma
- Blast trauma
Examples of blunt
trauma Falls
MVA
Vehicle vs. pedestrian
collisions Assaults
*Can result from broad energy impacts across large surface areas and involve energy
