Overall good, but 1) you shouldn't put a C-collar on ever before you determine clavicular stability. You can direct one of your partners to hold manual C-spine, go through your primary, assess airway breathing and circulation, determine the need for O2, then priority and transport considerations. Have one of your partners get SAMPLE from bystanders/family, good, and then when you do your rapid trauma be feeling everywhere. There's a lot more you should be looking for as you palpate and go through your rapid trauma. I didn't hear DCAP-BTLS or crepitus or looking in the eyes at the pupils.

I would think that putting the C- collar on in the beginning would make it difficult to assess tracheal deviation, jvd, and clavicles during the rapid assessment.

This helps a lot. I know the sheet and the order of things but sometimes its hard to really know how to verbilize certain things and all our instructors keep telling us different things. I like the way he does it all in the video.

Its been awkward for me having the MOI, general impression and chief complaint almost back to back it feels like you're just repeating yourself, but this guy did it in a less awkward way

Can anyone clarify when you would make the decision to apply oxygen via nonrebreather vs. BVM? To me, the buzzword for BVM is "shallow" and if the respiratory rate is low. But in this scenario the instructor says 22 and weak. If I was testing in the scenario, I would almost feel inclined to bag them. So why does he just do nonrebreather?

A couple of things I noticed that were not right. Shouldn't you have checked for any spine issues prior to putting on the cervical collar. Also, shouldn't an npa have been administered to help with oxygenation and ventilation?

I thought the sternum rub isn’t supposed to be used anymore

You didnt verbilize chief complaint and that there was no apparent life threats though. Or maybe that wasnt one of the points at the beginning when this was made idk

Why would you assume pulse is normal in rate instead of asking for it? Let the proctor do his job lol. You also completely skipped over whether you were using or withholding oral adjuncts even though pt is unresponsive and not able to protect their own airway….Nor did you verbalize how you’d open the airway

No assessment of PERRL, no management of secondary injury to the lower left leg. How are you going to check for neck crepitus/inline spine in neck with a c-collar placed?

would you not assess pupils with a patient w/ bruising around the eyes?

General impression? Chief complaint? Treat for shock? Immediate transport? I didn’t hear those I may be wrong though

And how do you know there were battle signs and racoon eyes? Without the proctor telling you what you see?

Even though the pt is unconscious but alert to painful stimuli why would"t you use a BVM?

She has nice eyes. Oh wait, he never checked them. With a suspected base of skull fracture, have your advanced airway kit on standby.
