Management of the Trauma Patient HOSSAM HASSAN

Trauma in the United States 2.7 million hospital admissions per year Leading cause of death for ages 1-44 years 100,000 deaths per year from traumatic injuries Half die before they reach medical care Hemorrhage is second-leading cause of death in trauma

Primary Survey Advanced Trauma Life Support Assess and address life threatening injuries in order “ABCDE of trauma” Airway Breathing Circulation Neurologic “deficit” Exposure of patient

Airway Identify airway obstruction Maintain cervical spine immobilization May require definitive airway Orotracheal intubation Blind nasotracheal intubation Cricothyroidotomy Tracheotomy

Breathing Identify life threatening deficits in breathing mechanism Simple pneumothorax Tension pneumothorax Massive hemothorax Open pneumothorax (“sucking chest wound”) Flail chest

Definition of shock – inadequate organ perfusion Circulation Identification of shock Definition of shock – inadequate organ perfusion Causes of shock Hemorrhage/hypovolemia Obstructive Cardiogenic Distributive

Class I Class II Class III Class IV Blood Loss mL Up to 750 750-1500 1500-2000 >2000 Blood Loss % Up to 15% 15-30% 30-40% >40% Pulse rate <100 >100 >120 >140 Systolic blood pressure Normal Decreased Pulse pressure Respiratory rate 14-20 20-30 30-40 >35 Urine output >30 5-15 Negligible Mental status Slightly anxious Mildly anxious Anxious, confused Confused, lethargic Fluid (3:1 rule) Crystalloid Crystalloid and blood

Circulation Treatment of shock Direct pressure on external bleeding Initial 2 liter bolus of crystalloid fluid Responders Non-responders Transient responders Definitive management for ongoing hemorrhage

Neurologic “deficit” Rapid assessment of neurologic status to identify life-threatening injury Pupil size and response Mental status (Glascow coma scale) Motor and sensory exam

Glascow Coma Scale 3 – 15 point scale to assess mental status only Best observed response GCS ≤ 8 is a “coma” and requires intubation for airway protection

Eye opening Verbal response Motor response None = 1 To painful stimuli only = 2 To voice only = 3 Spontaneously open = 4 Verbal response Incomprehensible sounds = 2 Incomprehensible words = 3 Confused = 4 Oriented = 5 Motor response Decerebrate (extension) posturing = 2 Decorticate (flexion) posturing = 3 Withdraws to pain = 4 Localizes pain = 5 Follows commands = 6

Exposure Pitfalls Head to toe examination of the patient for injury Maintenance of spine precautions Prevention of heat loss Under cervical collar Back and flanks

Adjuncts to the Primary Survey Exams during or after primary survey to aid in identifying life-threatening injuries Chest x-ray Pelvis x-ray Focused abdominal sonogram for trauma (FAST) Diagnostic peritoneal lavage (DPL)

Secondary Survey and Definitive Treatment The secondary survey is a complete head to toe evaluation of the patient Adjuncts to the secondary survey include CT’s, plain radiographs, blood tests Treatment plans, especially for multiple injuries, based on clinical status and specific injuries

Secondary Survey Mechanism of injury 􀀎 Head-to-toe evaluation 􀀎 Complete neurologicexamination 􀀎 Image examination 􀀎 Tubes or fingers in every orifice 􀀎 Reevaluation

Head Skull & Facial bone Raccoon eye, battle’s sign CSF leakage Otorrhea, rhinorrhea Scalp injury

Neck Tracheal compression or deviation Hematoma, emphysema Spinal injury C-spine, cervical cord Major organ injury Trachea, carotid artery, esophagus

Chest Chest wall deformity Rib/sternum fracture, flail chest Ventilation mechanism Pneumothorax, hemothorax, Cardiac tamponade

Abdomen Hemorrhage Liver, spleen Peritonitis Hollow organ perforation Intra-abdominal abscess

Perineum Scrotum & testis Labia major Urethra

Musculoskeletal Extremity Spine Pubic bone

Digital Examination High-riding prostate Scrotum/labia major ecchymosis Anal tone Rectal blood Bony fragment

Reevaluation Minimizing missed injuries High index of suspicion Frequent reevaluation Careful monitoring Relief of pain / anxiety appropriate

Adjuncts to Secondary Survey Special diagnostic tests as indicated Spine, chest and pelvic X-rays Sonography Diagnostic peritoneal lavage Computed tomography Angiography

Medical Records Precise, chronologic documentation Consent for treatment Forensic evidence

Definite Care Primary survey Secondary survey Tertiary survey

Resuscitation Restoring organ perfusion How much is enough? What are the endpoints of resuscitation? Heart rate, blood pressure, urine output May lead to “compensated shock” Organ-specific indicators of perfusion ie gastric tonometry Global indicators of perfusion Lactic acid, base deficit Cardiac output, oxygen delivery, oxygen consumption Mixed venous O2 saturation (SvO2)

Blood and Blood Products Early activation of massive transfusion code PRBCs,FFP,Platlets,And Cryoprecepitate 1:1:1 Ratio

Disposition Early Activation Of Trauma code
