Blood Involvement in an Emergency When blood and other body fluids are present during an injury Standard precautions are required Wearing gloves is standard procedure whenever blood or other body fluids are involved

Three Types of Surveys Isolated Injury Assessment Primary Survey Secondary Survey

Isolated Injury Assessment Normally performed when the injury is witnessed and no other symptoms are present. Sprained ankle Pulled hamstring Shin pain Jammed finger Pitcher with throwing arm pain

The Primary Survey The airway Breathing Is it open? Is the patient breathing and if so, at what rate?

The Primary Survey Circulation Is the blood circulating normally? Normal breathing, movement, coughing and carotid pulse?

Clearing the Patient’s Airway During an Emergency Do not move patient’s head or neck in case of spinal injuries If airway is not clear: 1. Wear gloves 2. Grasp the mouth and open jaw with a thumb and index finger 3. Use index finger sweep to remove objects 4. Make an airway using head-tilt/chin-lift

The Secondary Survey A head-to-toe physical assessment done to patients to determine the extent of illness or injury Some injuries are obvious, but others are less so

HOPS History Observation How did this injury happen? Is there swelling, bleeding, etc?

HOPS Palpation Ask the athlete where it hurts. Feel for spasms, pulses, breaks in the skin, etc. Stress tests Check for active range of motion and then the passive range of motion
