How to Approach Trauma Management 🩺🧠 | Emergency Medicine

► This video will walk you through the primary survey, a critical approach for evaluating and managing trauma patients. Whether you're in medical school or practicing in the field, the primary survey ensures that no life-threatening injuries are missed and that stabilization is provided quickly. The survey follows a consistent and systematic order—airway, breathing, circulation, disability, and exposure—allowing you to act fast and confidently in high-stress trauma situations.

Throughout the video, you’ll learn about:

🫁 Airway assessment: How to identify current and potential obstructions and manage cases requiring intubation or emergency airway procedures.

🩺 Breathing evaluation: Identifying respiratory compromise, recognizing key pulmonary injuries such as tension pneumothorax, and determining when to provide supplemental oxygen or other interventions.

💉 Circulatory assessment: Recognizing hemorrhagic shock, checking for perfusion through peripheral pulses, and knowing when to provide fluid resuscitation.

🧠 Neurological assessment: Understanding GCS scoring and how to identify life-threatening neurological injuries.

🧣 Exposure: Properly exposing the patient to identify hidden injuries, while preventing hypothermia.

This video also explains how to manage difficult airways in trauma cases and when to escalate to surgical interventions. By following the structured approach, you'll be better equipped to handle trauma cases with confidence, ensuring that life threats are identified and treated without delay. Don't miss this essential guide to mastering trauma resuscitation and primary survey techniques.
