Things to do during a primary survey
Rule of life threatening situations Determine consciousness Check ABCs Look, listen, feel Check for shock and bleeding Begin cpr
ABCs
Airway, breathing, circulation
Goal of primary survey
Stabilize the patient
When to call 911
In any sort of doubt
When the issue is unclear
Secondary survey
Detailed vital check Determine state of consciousness Open airway Establish breathing Establish circulation
On the field assessment
Are they stable?
Brief injury assessment
Can they be moved?
Off the field assessment
Complete MOI
Determine type and location of injury
Vital signs to observe
Pulse Respiration Blood pressure Temp Skin color O2 assessment Capillary refill State of conciousness
Normal pulse
60-80 bpm
Respiration
12-20 breaths/min
Normal blood pressure
120/80
Red skin color means
Elevated temp, possible heat stroke, high blood pressure
White skin means
Bad circulation, shock, hemorrhaging, heat exhaustion, insulin shock
Blue skin color means
Air obstruction, respiratory insufficiency
What test is performed for an oxygen assessment
Pulse oximetry
How does pulse oximetry work?
Determined how O2 is prefusing through the body
Checks O2 saturation using photoelectric sensors
Deficiency of O2 reaching tissues
Hypoxia
Normal levels of O2 saturation
95-100%
Mild hypoxia
91-94%
Moderate hypoxia
86-90%
Severe hypoxia
Checking capillary refill
Blanch test
When to assess state of consciousness
Always
Alertness and awareness of the environment and responsiveness to vocal stimuli
Conciousness
AVPU
Alertness
Verbal
Pain
Unresponsive
How to open airway
Head tilt and chin lift
Ways to establish breathing
Look, listen, feel
Maintain pressure on head and keep head tilted
When initial rescue breaths fail:
Retilt and try again
Establishing circulation
Locate and check pulse
When to use an AED
ASAP whenever available
