ADVANCE TRAUMA LIFE SUPPORT Jorge M. Concepcion, MD, FPCS Training Officer Department of Surgery The Medical City
ACCIDENTS ? INJURIES?
OBJECTIVES • To discuss the concepts in ATLS. • To provide the correct sequence of priorities in assessing multiply injured patient. • To introduce the principles in definitive trauma care
INJURY(WHO definition) • a bodily lesion resulting from exposure • to energy Mechanical Thermal Radiation Electrical Chemical interacting with the body in the amounts that exceed the limits of physiologic tolerance.
INJURIES “NOT ACCIDENTS” PREDICTABLE PREVENTABLE Not random events but occur in predictable patterns
TRADITIONAL: HISTORY OF ILLNESS COMPLETE P.E. INITIAL IMPRESSION DIFFERENTIAL DIAGNOSIS DIAGNOSTIC TEST FINAL DIAGNOSIS TREATMENT
TRAUMA MANAGEMENT RECOGNITION OF INJURY (P.E.) TREATMENT
TRAUMA CONCEPTS: 1. TREAT THE GREATEST THREAT TO LIFE. 2. LACK OF DEFINITIVE DIAGNOSIS SHOULD NOT IMPEDE THE APPLICATION OF AN INDICATED TREATMENT. 3. DETAILED HISTORY IS NOT ESSENTIAL TO BEGIN THE EVALUATION OF AN ACUTELY INJURED PATIENT.
APPROACH TO SEVERELY INJURED PATIENT 1. PRIMARY SURVEY 2. RESUSCITATION 3. SECONDARY SURVEY 4. DEFINITIVE MANAGEMENT 5. TERTIARY SURVEY REASSESSMENT
PRIMARY SURVEY A - AIRWAY & C-SPINE CONTROL B - BREATHING C - CIRCULATION – HEMORRHAGE CONTROL D - DISABILITY (NEURO EXAM) E - EXPOSURE / ENVIRONMENT
AIRWAY GUARANTEE PATENCY CLINICAL “WHAT IS YOUR NAME?” INTUBATE GCS 8 OR LESS OBSTRUCTED AIRWAY HEMORRHAGIC SHOCK COMBATIVE PATIENT
AIRWAY RISK FACTORS • I nstability (hemodynamic) • N eck hematoma/trauma • T rauma to the face (maxillofacial) • U nresponsive (GCS < 8) • B leeding from oropharynx • A pnea • T hermal inhalational injury • E mesis/epistaxis/hemoptysis
AIRWAY MAINTENANCE MEASURES • Finger sweep • Chin lift • Jaw thrust • Oro/nasopharyngeal airway • Laryngeal mask airway • Needle cricothyroidotomy
DEFINITIVE AIRWAY CONTROL • Intubation • Orotracheal • Nasotracheal • Surgical airway • Cricothyroidotomy • Tracheostomy
THINGS TO CONSIDER • TIMING – don’t delay • EQUIPMENT – scope, suction, suppplies • ANESTHEZISE • MONITOR • WEAR PROTECTION • OXYGENATE • REINFORCEMENT – ask for help • KEEP NECK PROTECTED
C-SPINE CONTROL • ALL PATIENTS WITH BLUNT TRAUMA – PRESUME TO HAVE C-SPINE INSTABILITY • IMMOBILIZATION OF C-SPINE IS A PRIORITY • C-SPINE CLEARANCE IS NOT A PRIORITY
C-SPINE CONTROL IN-LINE STABILIZATION CERVICAL COLLAR
C-COLLAR SHOULD NOT INTERFERE WITH CLINICAL EXAM OF THE NECK • INTUBATION – REMOVE THE COLLAR AND DO IN-LINE STABILIZATION
BREATHING GUARANTEE ADEQUATE OXYGENATION AND VENTILATION GIVE SUPPLEMENTAL OXYGEN VENTILATION (LUNGS, CHEST WALL & DIAPHGRAM) ASSESS RESPIRATORY EFFORT, BREATH SOUNDS & OXYGEN DELIVERY
Objective Signs • Inspection • Palpation • Percussion • Auscultation
Oxygen delivery L/min. Approx. FiO2 Nasal cannula Face mask Face mask w/ reservoir 1 2 4 6 5-6 6-7 7-8 6 8 10 0.24 0.28 0.35 0.42 0.40 0.50 0.60 0.60 0.80 1.00 OXYGENATION
Ventilation Mouth to pocket face mask Bag-valve-mask ( 2 person technique) Pleural Decompression Needle thoracentesis Closed-tube thoracostomy Three-sided dressing MANAGEMENT
CIRCULATION ASSURE ADEQUATE OXYGEN DELIVERY AND CONTROL BLEEDING ASSESS VITAL SIGNS CONTROL BLEEDING DIRECT PRESSURE REDUCTION OF FRACTURES IN LONG BONES AND PELVIS
RECOGNITION OF SHOCK • Tachycardia • Cutaneous vasoconstriction • Hypotension • Narrowed pulse pressure
ETIOLOGY OF SHOCK • Hemorrhagic • Nonhemorrhagic • Cardiac compressive • tension pneumothorax • cardiac tamponade • Cardiogenic • Neurogenic • Septic
CLASSES OF HEMORRHAGE • 70 kg male with gunshot wound in the RUQ • Vital signs: • BP 80/40 • HR 116/min • RR 22/min • Class III hemorrhage • EBL= 1470 mL • 70 kg x 7% x 30%
INITIAL MANAGEMENT • Recognize shock • Stop the bleeding! • Replace effective circulating volume • Restore tissue perfusion
FLUID THERAPY • Warmed crystalloid solution • Rapid fluid bolus • Adult 2 liters • Child 20 mL/kg • “3 for 1 rule” • Monitor response to therapy
Size of needle in relation to a flow of 1 liter IVF Time Size (gauge) 12 min. 18 9 min. 16 7 min. 14
RESPONSE TO FLUID RESUSCITATION • Rapid response • Transient response • Minimal or no response
CIRCULATION • Hypovolemia most common cause of shock • Recognition of its presence 1st step • Control of bleeding • Restoration of intravascular volume • Monitor patient’s response
DISABILITY ASSESS GCS, PULSES, SENSORY AND MOTOR FUNCTIONS GCS BEST MOTOR RESPONSE – 6 BEST VERBAL RESPONSE – 5 EYE OPENING – 4 3 - 15 ? V = ? M = 4 E = 3 GCS = 7 V = M(0.5) + E(0.4) V = 4 (0.5) = 2 + 3 (0.4) = 1.2 V = 2 + 1.2 = 3.2 V = 3 M = 4 E = 3 GCS = 10
EXPOSURE AND ENVIRONMENTAL CONTROL UNDRESS ( CUT CLOTHING ) KEEP PATIENT WARM LOGROLL OFTEN MISSED INJURIES AXILLA PERINEUM BACK
SECONDARY SURVEY HISTORY A - ALLERGIES M- MEDICATIONS P – PAST ILLNESSES L – LAST MEAL E– EVENTS PRECEEDING THE INCIDENT
PHYSICAL EXAMINATION DETAILED, METICULOUS HEAD TO TOE EXAM FINGER AND TUBES IN ALL ORIFICES LOOK, LISTEN, FEEL EVERYWHERE
DEFINITIVE MANAGEMENT TERTIARY SURVEY
DEFINITIVE MANAGEMENT • PENETRATING NECK • PENETRATING CHEST • BLUNT CHEST • PENETRATING ABDOMEN • BLUNT ABDOMEN • EXTREMITIES
DO’s PRIMUM NON NOCERE SPLINT PATIENTS WHERE THEY LIE COMFORT THE PATIENT ALLEVIATE PAIN HONE YOUR SKILLS ASK FOR HELP
DON’TS PANIC INSERT NGT IN PATIENT WITH SUSPECTED FACIAL FRACTURE REMOVE IMPALED OBJECTS FORGET TO WARM THE PATIENT (ESP. CHILDREN) INSERT A FOLEY CATHETER IN PATIENTS SUSPECTED OF URETHRAL INJURY OVERLOOK THE PERINEUM, BACK AND AXILLA
