Physical Exam In Under A Minute

The rapid physical exam is performed when a patient is critically injured, unresponsive, or suspected of having life-threatening conditions. Its primary goal is to quickly assess the patient from head to toe in order to identify and manage any immediate life-threatening issues. This exam typically takes less than 90 seconds and focuses on areas where life-threatening injuries are most likely to occur, such as the head, neck, chest, abdomen, pelvis, and extremities.

One thing I learned that helped a lot is HNS-CASPER. Head neck shoulders chest abdomen spine (back) pelvis extremities, repeat.

We learned CLAPS-TICS for this. Looking for CLAPS feeling for TICS.
