    5. 5 RESCUE SCENE EVALUATION (RSE) Environmental Conditions Hazards Mechanism of Injury

    6. 6 Environmental Conditions detrimental to patient? - too hot or too cold - dangerous traffic conditions look for important clues about patients condition check for other victims look for witnesses or family members who can provide information

    7. 7 Hazards any potential hazards to you, crew or patient - gasoline, fumes, electrical wires, smoke, fire - unstable vehicles police presence (at the scene of an assault)

    8. 8 Mechanism of Injury event or agent which caused the patients injury or injuries Mechanisms of injury indicating a probable unstable patient - pedestrian struck by a vehicle - fall from a height > 15 feet - severe deceleration accident - ejection from vehicle

    9. 9 Mechanisms of injury indicating a probable unstable patient - motorcyclist with blunt abdominal trauma or chest injury - penetrating injuries to the head, neck, chest or abdomen - amputation of extremities

    10. 10 IMPORTANT AN UNSTABLE PATIENT needs to be transported IMMEDIATELY

    11. 11 Primary Survey Aim : To discover and treat life or limb-threatening conditions LOC - Level of Consciousness - use AVPU ? Alert Verbal Pain Unresponsive D - Delicate spine - stabilize as required A - Airway - tongue jaw lift - modified jaw thrust B - Breathing - ventilate as required - check for adequacy

    12. 12 Primary Survey C - Circulation - check for rate and character - NO radial pulse, check carotid pulse - NO carotid pulse, perform CPR - control hemorrhage RBS - Rapid Body Survey (max. 30secs) - check for external bleeding and deformities - expose and examine injury site - provide appropriate emergency treatment

    13. 13 Primary Survey Skin - check for colour and condition Oxygen - administer appropriate volume Decision point - UNSTABLE > transport IMMEDIATELY - STABLE > provide necessary treatment before transportation

    14. 14

    15. 15 History chief complaint history of chief complaint medical history - past and present medications allergies identifying data

    16. 16 Vital Signs level of consciousness - GCS pulse, respiration, blood pressure skin color & condition temperature (if appropriate) NOTE : if UNSTABLE transport IMMEDIATELY ( Complete secondary survey enroute to hospital )

    17. 17 Head to Toe Examination (inspection & palpation) head neck chest abdomen pelvis lower extremities upper extremities back
