2 TRAUMA (MULTI-SPECIALTY APPROACH) ADVANCED TRAUMA LIFE SUPPORT ALGORITHM MAIN PRINCIPLES: - Treat greatest threat to life first - Definitive diagnosis is less important - Time is important – the “golden hour” after trauma is when 30% of trauma deaths occur, and are preventable by ATLS APPROACH 1. Primary survey and Resuscitation with adjuncts 2. Re-evaluation of the patient 3. Secondary survey with adjuncts 4. Post-resuscitation monitoring and re-evaluation 5. Optimise for transfer and definitive care PRIMARY SURVEY – ABCDE 1. AIRWAY Assessment of airway patency - Is patient alert, can patient speak? - Gurgling, stridor - Maxillofacial injuries - Laryngeal injuries - Caution: C-spine injury Establishing patent airway - Chin-lift or modified jaw thrust (protect C-spine) - Remove any foreign objects in the mouth where possible - Oro/nasopharyngeal airway - Definitive airway – endotracheal tube, cricothyroidotomy, tracheostomy 2. BREATHING Assessment of breathing - Look, listen, feel: chest rise, breath sounds – rhythm and equality bilaterally - Rate of respiration - Effort of respiration - Colour of patient - Percuss chest - Look for chest deformities e.g. flail chest Management of breathing - Supplemental oxygen - Ventilate as required if patient requires assistance with breathing - Needle thoracotomy for tension pneumothorax, followed by chest tube - Occlusive dressing for open pneumothorax 3. CIRCULATION Assessment of organ perfusion - Level of consciousness - Skin colour and temperature, capillary refill - Pulse rate and character – all major pulses - Blood pressure Classes of haemorrhagic shock I II III IV Bld loss Amt (ml) Percentage <750 <15 750-1500 15-30 1500-2000 30-40 >2000 >40 Ht rate <100 >100 >120 >140 BP Normal Normal Decreased Decreased Cap refill Normal Prolonged Prolonged Prolonged Resp rate 14-20 20-30 30-40 >35 Ur output (ml/h) >30 20-30 5-15 Oliguric-anuric Mental state Sl anxious Mild anxiety Anxious- confused Confused- lethargic Fluid replacement Crystalloid Crystalloid Crystalloid + blood Blood Management - Sources of bleeding  apply direct pressure or pressure on proximal pressure point - Be suspicious about occult bleeding e.g. intraperitoneal, retroperitoneal (pelvic fracture), soft tissue (long bone fracture) - Venous access – large bore, proximal veins - Restore circulatory volume with rapid crystalloid infusion – Ringer’s lactate - Blood transfusion if not responsive to fluids or response is transient - Reassess frequently
3 4. DISABILITY - Glasgow coma scale Eye Verbal Motor Spontaneous opening Opens to voice Opens to pain No response 4 3 2 1 Oriented speech Confused Inappropriate Incomprehensible No verbal response 5 4 3 2 1 Obeys Purposeful Withdraws Flexion response Extension response No response 6 5 4 3 2 1 GCS: 14-15 (minor); 8-13 (moderate); 3-7 (severe) - AVPU score: Alert, Verbal stimuli (responds to), Pain stimuli, Unresponsive - Pupillary reactivity - Call for neurosurgical consult as indicated 5. EXPOSURE - Remove all clothes - Check everywhere for injuries (log-roll to look at the back) - Prevent hypothermia 6. ADJUNCTS TO PRIMARY SURVEY Monitoring - Vital signs – BP, pulse rate, saturation (pulse oximeter) - ECG monitoring - Arterial blood gas Diagnostic tools - Screening X-ray films (trauma series): CXR, AP pelvis, lateral C-spine - Focused abdominal sonography in trauma (FAST) - Diagnostic peritoneal lavage Urinary catheter - Functions: decompress bladder, measurement of urinary output - Caution in urethral injury: blood at urethral meatus, perineal ecchymosis/haematoma, high-riding prostate Gastric catheter (orogastric or nasogastric) - Function: decompress stomach, look at aspirate (bloody? bilious?) - Caution in base of skull fracture: CSF otorrhoea/rhinorrhoea, periorbital ecchymosis, mid-face instability (grab the incisors and rock), haemotympanum  insert orogastric tube instead of nasogastric SECONDARY SURVEY When to do secondary survey - Primary survey and resuscitation completed - ABCDEs reassessed - Vital functions returning to normal i.e. no need for active resuscitation at the moment 1. AMPLE HISTORY - Allergy - Medications - Past history - Last meal - Events leading to injury, Environment in which trauma occurred 2. COMPLETE HEAD-TO-TOE EXAMINATION Head - Complete neurological examination - GCS or AVPU assessment - Comprehensive examination of eyes and ears for base of skull fractures - Caution: unconscious patient; periorbital oedema; occluded auditory canal Maxillofacial - Bony crepitus/deformity - Palpable deformity - Comprehensive oral/dental examination - Caution: potential airway obstruction in maxillofacial injury; cribriform plate fracture with CSF rhinorrhoea  do not insert nasogastric tube Cervical spine - Palpate for tenderness, any step deformity - Complete neurological examination - C-spine imaging - Caution: Injury above clavicles; altered consciousness (cannot assess accurately); other severe, painful injury (distracts from cervical spine pain) Neck (soft tissues) - Blunt versus penetrating injuries - Airway obstruction, hoarseness - Crepitus (subcutaneous emphysema), haematoma, stridor, bruit - Caution: delayed symptoms and signs of airway obstruction that progressively develop; occult injuries
4 Chest - Inspect, palpate, percuss, auscultate - Re-evaluate frequently - Look at CXR - Caution: missed injury; increase in chest tube drainage Abdomen - Inspect, palpate, percuss, auscultate - Abrasions and ecchymosis – “seat-belt sign” - Lower rib fractures  liver and spleen injury - Re-evaluate frequently - Special studies: FAST, DPL, CT scan - Caution: hollow viscus and retroperitoneal injuries; excessive pelvic manipulation Perineum - Contusions, haematomas, lacerations - Urethral blood - DRE: Sphincter tone, high-riding prostate, pelvic fracture (may feel fragments of bone); rectal wall integrity; blood - Vaginal examination: blood, lacerations Musculoskeletal – extremities - Contusion, deformity - Pain - Perfusion - Peripheral neurovascular status - X-rays as appropriate - Caution: potential blood loss is high in certain injuries (e.g. pelvic fracture, femoral shaft fracture); missed fractures; soft-tissue or ligamentous injuries; examine patient’s back 3. ADJUNCTS AND SPECIAL DIAGNOSTIC TESTS - As required according to suspicion, but should not delay transfer 4. FREQUENT RE-EVALUATION - Have a high index of suspicion for injuries to avoid missing them - Frequent re-evaluation and continuous monitoring  rapidly recognise when patient is deteriorating 5. PAIN MANAGEMENT - Intravenous analgesia as appropriate ABDOMINAL TRAUMA TYPES OF INTRA-ABDOMINAL INJURY IN BLUNT TRAUMA - Solid organ injury: spleen, liver – bleeding (may be quite massive) - Hollow viscus injury with rupture - Vascular injury with bleeding INDICATIONS FOR IMMEDIATE LAPAROTOMY - Evisceration, stab wounds with implement in-situ, gunshot wounds traversing abdominal cavity - Any penetrating injury to the abdomen with haemodynamic instability or peritoneal irritation - Obvious or strongly suspected intra-abdominal injury with shock or difficulty in stabilising haemodynamics - Obvious signs of peritoneal irritation - Rectal exam reveals fresh blood - Persistent fresh blood aspirated from nasogastric tube (oropharyngeal injuries excluded as source of bleeding) - X-ray evidence of pneumoperitoneum or diaphragmatic rupture INVESTIGATIONS - If patient is stable: FAST and/or CT scan - If patient is unstable: FAST and/or DPL FOCUSED ABDOMINAL SONOGRAPHY IN TRAUMA (FAST) - Ultrasonographic evaluation of four windows: Pericardial, right upper quadrant, left upper quadrant, pelvis - Advantages  Portable  Can be done quickly in <5min  Can be used for serial examination  Does not require contrast, no radiation risk - Disadvantages  Does not image solid parenchymal damage, retroperitoneum, diaphragmatic defects or bowel injury  Compromised in uncooperative, agitated patient, obesity, substantial bowel gas, subcutaneous air  Less sensitive, more operator-dependent than DPL and cannot distinguish blood from ascites  Intermediate results require follow-up attempts or alternative diagnostic tests
