Trauma/Injury and Examination of Trauma Case
Types of Injury
- Closed Injury: Injury without an open wound or break in the skin
- Open Injury: Injury with an open wound or break in the skin
- Penetrating Injury: Injury caused by an object entering the body
- Blunt Injury: Injury caused by a non-penetrating force
Classification of Injury
- Soft Tissue Injury: Injury to muscles, tendons, and ligaments
- Bony Injury: Injury to bones
- Visceral Injury: Injury to internal organs
- Neurological Injury: Injury to the nervous system
Homoeopathic Therapeutics of Injury (MSØV)
- Arnica: For bruising and swelling
- Calendula: For wound healing
- Hypnopharm: For anxiety and stress related to injury
- Hypericum: For nerve injuries
- Pulsatilla: For emotional trauma
Principles in the Management of Road Traffic Accidents
- Primary Survey: Assessment of the patient's airway, breathing, and circulation
- Secondary Survey: Further assessment of the patient's injuries
- Resuscitation: Restoration of the patient's vital functions
Components of Primary Survey
- Airway Management: Ensuring the patient's airway is clear
- Breathing Assessment: Assessing the patient's breathing
- Circulation Assessment: Assessing the patient's circulation
Components of Secondary Survey
- Head and Neck Assessment: Assessment of the patient's head and neck
- Thoracic Assessment: Assessment of the patient's chest
- Abdominal Assessment: Assessment of the patient's abdomen
- Extremity Assessment: Assessment of the patient's limbs
Resuscitation in Trauma Cases (ØØØV)
- Basic Life Support: Restoration of the patient's vital functions
- Defibrillation: Use of a defibrillator to restore a normal heart rhythm
- High-Quality CPR: High-quality cardiopulmonary resuscitation
- Vascular Access: Establishment of a vascular access site
Steps of Basic Life Support
- Initiation of Resuscitation: Starting the resuscitation process
- Opening of Airway: Ensuring the patient's airway is clear
- Defibrillation: Use of a defibrillator to restore a normal heart rhythm
- High-Quality CPR: High-quality cardiopulmonary resuscitation
- Vascular Access: Establishment of a vascular access site
Termination of CPR
- Confirmation of Death: Confirmation of the patient's death
- Documentation: Documentation of the resuscitation process
Principles of ATLS (Advanced Trauma Life Support)
- Primary Survey: Assessment of the patient's airway, breathing, and circulation
- Secondary Survey: Further assessment of the patient's injuries
- Resuscitation: Restoration of the patient's vital functions
Management of Trauma Case
- Pre-Hospital Care: Care provided to the patient before hospital admission
- Causality Management: Management of the patient's injuries
- Triage: Prioritization of the patient's care based on the severity of their injuries
Principles of Pre-Hospital Care
- Triage: Prioritization of the patient's care based on the severity of their injuries
- Transportation: Transportation of the patient to a hospital
- Stabilization: Stabilization of the patient's injuries
Demonstration of Transport of Injured in Simulated Setting
- Assessment of Patient: Assessment of the patient's injuries
- Stabilization of Patient: Stabilization of the patient's injuries
- Transportation of Patient: Transportation of the patient to a hospital
- Documentation: Documentation of the transportation process
