1 TRAUMA CASUALTY ASSESSMENT RIFLES LIFESAVERS

2 Tactical Combat Casualty Care Care Under Fire –“The best medicine on any battlefield is fire superiority” –Minimal casualty assessment –Immediate treatment of extremity hemorrhage Tactical Field Care –Rapid trauma assessment and immediate treatment of life-threatening injuries –More detailed trauma assessment and stabilization of non life-threatening injuries Casualty Evacuation Care –Continual casualty assessment

3 Scene Assessment Determine safety of scene Determine mechanism of injury Determine number of casualties Request additional help if necessary

4 Primary Assessment: ABCDE Communicate verbally with casualty –Helps establish immediate status of airway, breathing, circulation, and mental status AirwayBreathingCirculation Disability (Neurologic status) Exposure

5 IMPORTANT! When life-threatening injuries are encountered during the primary assessment, stop and perform the necessary life-saving procedure before proceeding Failure to do so may result in an otherwise preventable death

6 Airway Attention to manual stabilization of cervical spine if appropriate Airway obstructions are often noisy (but not always) Suspect airway problems –Unconscious –Head, face, neck, chest injuries Open, clear, and maintain the airway

7 Breathing Look, listen, and feel If chest injury and severe difficulty breathing, perform needle chest decompression to relieve tension pneumothorax

8 Circulation Look for severe external bleeding STOP THE BLEEDING! –Direct pressure –Pressure points –Tourniquet Assess for internal bleeding –Check pulses –Observe for shock Initiate IV fluids

9 Disability (Neurologic Status) Level of consciousness using AVPU scale –Alert: Converses spontaneously and appropriately –Verbal: Responds to verbal stimuli –Painful: Responds to painful stimuli –Unresponsive: Unresponsive to any stimuli Pupil size –Pupils should be equal and constrict vigorously to light stimulus Motor function –Strength should be normal and equal in all extremities

10 Exposure Remove clothing to expose area of injury Do not delay resuscitation to expose injuries Keep casualty covered after exposure to avoid hypothermia due to blood loss

11 Conditions that Require Immediate Transport Poor general condition Unresponsive Responsive but does not follow commands Difficulty breathing Uncontrolled breathing Severe pain

12 Secondary Trauma Assessment Perform more detailed exam of body areas with attention to DCAP-BTLS DeformitiesContusionsAbrasions Penetrating injuries BurnsTendernessLacerationsSwelling

13 Secondary Trauma Assessment: Head to Toe HeadNeck –Apply cervical collar if unconscious or midline spinal tenderness ChestAbdomenPelvisExtremitiesBack –Log roll casualty to stabilize spine

14 Prepare to Evacuate
