Overview
• Trauma patients are treated very differently depending on the type hospital you are in
• People usually attend to the most graphic of injuries first
• This often lead to other more serious injuries being missed
![Page 3: Trauma Management By: Michael Putnam RN Adapted from ENA; TNCC](https://reader030.vdocument.in/reader030/viewer/2022032604/56649e665503460f94b61066/html5/thumbnails/3.jpg)
Overview con’t
• The Emergency Nurses Association (ENA) established a set of evidence based practices that could be used internationally: Trauma Nursing Core Curriculum (TNCC)
• In York Region most trauma is diverted to Sunnybrook based on the field trauma triage guidelines
• Peads Trauma goes to Sick Kids

Patient Management
• A – Airway• B – Breathing• C – Circulation• D – Disability• E – Expose/Environment• F – Five Interventions/Full Vitals• G – Give Comfort• H – History/Head to Toe• I – Inspect the Back
![Page 5: Trauma Management By: Michael Putnam RN Adapted from ENA; TNCC](https://reader030.vdocument.in/reader030/viewer/2022032604/56649e665503460f94b61066/html5/thumbnails/5.jpg)
IMPORTANT
Like all things they must be done in order.
1 comes before 2 and A comes before B

EMS History Taking
MIVT format
• Mechanism
• Injuries Sustained
• Vital Signs
• Treatment Rendered
![Page 7: Trauma Management By: Michael Putnam RN Adapted from ENA; TNCC](https://reader030.vdocument.in/reader030/viewer/2022032604/56649e665503460f94b61066/html5/thumbnails/7.jpg)
Airway
• Assess• Patent? Obstruction? Vocalizing?
• Interventions• Suction, Jaw Thrust, OPA, NPA, ETT, NTT,
surgical airway.
• C – Spine must be maintained!
![Page 8: Trauma Management By: Michael Putnam RN Adapted from ENA; TNCC](https://reader030.vdocument.in/reader030/viewer/2022032604/56649e665503460f94b61066/html5/thumbnails/8.jpg)
Breathing
• Assess• Breathing? (rate, rhythm) chest symmetry,
integrity of chest, accessory muscle use, chest auscultation, trachea position, jugs
• Interventions• O2 by NRB• BVM if necessary• Chest tube, chest seal, needle decompression if
needed
![Page 9: Trauma Management By: Michael Putnam RN Adapted from ENA; TNCC](https://reader030.vdocument.in/reader030/viewer/2022032604/56649e665503460f94b61066/html5/thumbnails/9.jpg)
Circulation
• Assess• Pulse? Present? Skin condition, exsanguating trauma,
BP (if enough people), heart sounds
• Interventions• CPR• Control bleeding, elevate, • IV (2X 14G or 16G): Use warmed solutions when
possible or central line? Blood or N/S• Labs• Thoracotomy
![Page 10: Trauma Management By: Michael Putnam RN Adapted from ENA; TNCC](https://reader030.vdocument.in/reader030/viewer/2022032604/56649e665503460f94b61066/html5/thumbnails/10.jpg)
A Note on Fluid Resuscitation
• Bigger is better…a 14 G peripheral line is better than a 3 Lumen Central Line.
• Central Line options • 6 – 8.5F cordis, 2-3 lumen, 1-3 lumen slic
• Crystalloid versus colloid
• Saline versus Ringers
• IV line choices• Gravity versus pump
![Page 11: Trauma Management By: Michael Putnam RN Adapted from ENA; TNCC](https://reader030.vdocument.in/reader030/viewer/2022032604/56649e665503460f94b61066/html5/thumbnails/11.jpg)
Disability (mini-neuro)
• A- Alert
• V – Verbal
• P – Painful
• U – Unresponsive
• Pupils: Size - Equal, Reactive to Light?
• GCS… Sum of its parts more important than the total
![Page 12: Trauma Management By: Michael Putnam RN Adapted from ENA; TNCC](https://reader030.vdocument.in/reader030/viewer/2022032604/56649e665503460f94b61066/html5/thumbnails/12.jpg)
Secondary
• Identify most life threatening injuries by this point
• Secondary assessment will identify other minor injuries
![Page 13: Trauma Management By: Michael Putnam RN Adapted from ENA; TNCC](https://reader030.vdocument.in/reader030/viewer/2022032604/56649e665503460f94b61066/html5/thumbnails/13.jpg)
Expose/Environment
• Removal of all clothing, board straps, etc.
• Attempt to maintain warmth where possible• Warmed fluids, blankets
![Page 14: Trauma Management By: Michael Putnam RN Adapted from ENA; TNCC](https://reader030.vdocument.in/reader030/viewer/2022032604/56649e665503460f94b61066/html5/thumbnails/14.jpg)
Five Interventions
• Monitor with SpO2 and BP (12 lead) maintain SpO2 95%
• Foley – Contraindicated?
• N/G Tube – Contraindicated?
• Labs (if not done in “C”)
• Family
![Page 15: Trauma Management By: Michael Putnam RN Adapted from ENA; TNCC](https://reader030.vdocument.in/reader030/viewer/2022032604/56649e665503460f94b61066/html5/thumbnails/15.jpg)
Give Comfort
• Pain control
• Verbal reassurance
• Stimuli reduction
![Page 16: Trauma Management By: Michael Putnam RN Adapted from ENA; TNCC](https://reader030.vdocument.in/reader030/viewer/2022032604/56649e665503460f94b61066/html5/thumbnails/16.jpg)

Head to Toe
• Soft Tissue Injuries
• Bony Deformities
• Full Neuro exam
• Eyes, Ears, Nose, Neck
• Chest, Abdo, Pelvis, Extremities
![Page 18: Trauma Management By: Michael Putnam RN Adapted from ENA; TNCC](https://reader030.vdocument.in/reader030/viewer/2022032604/56649e665503460f94b61066/html5/thumbnails/18.jpg)
Inspect• Roll Patient off Back Board inspect the
back/posterior with Log Roll
• Keep Neck Stable at all times!

Take Home Points
• A,B,C,D
• Keep them warm
• IV’s bigger the better
• Only do what needs to be done to get them out, or does not delay transfer.
![Page 25: Trauma Management By: Michael Putnam RN Adapted from ENA; TNCC](https://reader030.vdocument.in/reader030/viewer/2022032604/56649e665503460f94b61066/html5/thumbnails/25.jpg)
Summary
• We don’t get much trauma
• What we do get we can be better at
• Think transfer early
