1. PREPARATION
A Pre-hospital phase Receiving hospital is notified first. Send to the closest, appropriate facility. B In Hospital Phase Advanced planning for the trauma pt arrival.
2. TRIAGE
A Multiple Casualties no of severity & pt do not exceed the ability of the facility. B Mass Casualties
3. PRIMARY SURVEY
A : Airway with cervical spine protect.
B : Breathing
PRIMARY SURVEY
Priorities for the care of Adult , Pediatrics & Pregnancy women are all the same. During the primary survey life threatening conditions are identified and management is instituted SIMULTANEOUSLY.
c. Pulse.
2. Bleeding *external bleeding is identified & controlled in the primary survey. *Tourniquets should not be use.

4. RESUSCITATION
A. Airway
*definite airway if there is any doubt about the pts ability to maintain airway integrity.
B. Breathing /Ventilation/Oxygenation
*every injured pt should received supplement oxygen
C. Circulation
*control bleeding by direct pressure or operative intervention * minimum of two large caliber IV should be established *pregnancy test for all female of child bearing age. * Lactated Ringer is preferred & better if warm.

C. Monitoring
1. Ventilatory rate & ABG 2. Pulse oximetry does not measure ventilation or partial O2 pressure 3. Blood pressure poor measure of actual tissue perfusion.
6 SECONDARY SURVEY
Does not begin until the primary survey (ABCDEs) is completed, resuscitative effort are well established & the pt is demonstrating normalization of vital sign. * Head to Toe evaluation & reassessment of all vital
signs.
* A complete neurological exam is performed including a GCS score.
History
A : Allergies.
PHYSICAL EXAMINATION
1. Head
Visual acuity
Pupillary size Hemorrhage of conjunctiva and fundi
Penetrating injury
Contact lenses(remove before edema occurs) Dislocation of lens Ocular movement

4. Chest
*elderly pt are not tolerant of even relatively minor chest injury.
*Children often sustain significant injury to the intrathoracic structure without evidence of thoracic skeletal trauma.
17
5. Abdomen *excessive manipulation of the pelvic should be avoided. 6. Perineum/rectum/vagina 7. Musculoskeletal 8. Neurologic
* Protection of spinal cord is required at all times until a spine injury excluded, especially when the pt is transfer.

8. RE-EVALUATION
Adult urine output 0.5ml/kg/hr Pediatric urine output 1mg/kg/hr *Pain relief -- IM should be avoid.
9. DEFINITE CARE

Hemorrhage Classification :
Class I Hemorrhage : Class II Hemorrhage : Class III Hemorrhage : up to 15% loss 15-30% loss 30-40% loss
Class IV Hemorrhage :
>40% loss

3 for 1 Rule
a rough guideline for the total amount of crystalloid volume acutely is to replace each ML of blood loss with 3 ML of crystalloid fluid, thus allowing for restitution of plasma volume lost into the interstitial & intracellular space

Intraosseous Puncture/Infusion
Children less than 6 y/o for IV access is impossible due to circulatory collapse or for whom percutaneous peripheral venous cannulation had failed on two attempt.
