1 Patient Assessment Chapter 8
2 Patient Assessment Scene size-up Initial assessment Focused history and physical exam Vital signs History Detailed physical exam Ongoing assessment
3 Patient Assessment Process
4 Scene Size Up Dispatch information Inspection of scene Scene hazards Safety concerns Mechanism of injury Nature of illness/chief complaint Number of patients Additional resources needed
5 Body Substance Isolation Assumes all body fluids present a possible risk for infection Protective equipment Latex or vinyl gloves should always be worn Eye protection Mask Gown Turnout gear
6 Scene Safety: Potential Hazards Oncoming traffic Unstable surfaces Leaking gasoline Downed electrical lines Potential for violence Fire or smoke Hazardous materials Other dangers at crash or rescue scenes Crime scenes
7 Park in a safe area. Speak with law enforcement first if present. The safety of you and your partner comes first! Next concern is the safety of patient(s) and bystanders. Request additional resources if needed to make scene safe. Scene Safety
8 Mechanism of Injury Helps determine the possible extent of injuries on trauma patients Evaluate: Amount of force applied to body Length of time force was applied Area of the body involved
9 Search for clues to determine the nature of illness. Often described by the patient s chief complaint Gather information from the patient and people on scene. Observe the scene Nature of Illness
10 The Importance of MOI/NOI Guides preparation for care to patient Suggests equipment that will be needed Prepares for further assessment Fundamentals of assessment are same whether emergency appears to be related to trauma or medical cause.
11 Number of Patients Determine the number of patients and their condition. Assess what additional resources will be needed. Triage to identify severity of each patient s condition.
12 Additional Resources Medical resources Additional units Advanced life support Nonmedical resources Fire suppression Rescue Law enforcement
13 C-Spine Immobilization Consider early during assessment. Do not move without immobilization. Err on the side of caution.
14 Patient Assessment Process
15 Initial Assessment Develop a general impression. Assess mental status. Assess airway. Assess the adequacy of breathing. Assess circulation. Identify patient priority
16 Develop a General Impression Occurs as you approach the scene and the patient Assessment of the environment Patient s chief complaint Presenting signs and symptoms of patient
17 Obtaining Consent Introduce self. Ask patient s name. Obtain consent.
18 Chief Complaint Most serious problem voiced by the patient May not be the most significant problem present
19 Assessing Mental Status Responsiveness How the patient responds to external stimuli Orientation Mental status and thinking ability
20 Testing Responsiveness A Alert V Responsive to Verbal stimulus P Responsive to Pain U Unresponsive
21 Testing Orientation Person Place Time Event
22 Caring for Abnormal Mental Status Complete initial assessment. Provide high-flow oxygen. Consider spinal immobilization. Initiate transport. Support ABCs. Reassess.
23 Assessing the Airway Look for signs of airway compromise: Two- to three-word dyspnea Use of accessory muscles Nasal flaring and use of accessory muscles in children Labored breathing
24 Signs of Airway Obstruction in the Unconscious Patient Obvious trauma, blood, or other obstruction Noisy breathing such as bubbling, gurgling, crowing, or other abnormal sounds Extremely shallow or absent breathing
25 Assessing Breathing Choking Rate Depth Cyanosis Lung sounds Air movement
26 High-Flow Oxygen Administration Breathing faster than 20 breaths/min Breathing slower than 12 breaths/min Breathing too shallow Decreased level of consciousness Respiratory distress Poor skin color
27 Positioning the Patient Position of comfort Sitting up with feet dangling High Fowler s position Spinal precautions if possible spinal injury
28 Assessing the Pulse Presence Rate Rhythm Strength
29 Normal Pulse Rates in Infants and Age Children Range (beats/min) Infant: 1 month to 1 year 100 to 160 Toddler: 1 to 3 years 90 to 150 Preschool-age: 3 to 6 years 80 to 140 School-age: 6 to 12 years 70 to 120 Adolescent: 12 to 18 years 60 to 100
30 Assessing and Controlling External Bleeding Assess after clearing the airway and stabilizing breathing. Look for blood flow or blood on floor/clothes. Controlling bleeding Direct pressure Elevation Pressure points
31 Assessing Perfusion Color Temperature Skin condition Capillary refill
32 Priority Patients Difficulty breathing Poor general impression Unresponsive with no gag reflex Severe chest pain Signs of poor perfusion Complicated childbirth Uncontrolled bleeding Responsive but unable to follow commands Severe pain Inability to move any part of the body
33 Transport Decision Patient condition Availability of advanced care Distance to transport Local protocols
34 Patient Assessment Process
35 Focused History and Physical Exam Understand the circumstances surrounding the chief complaint. Obtain objective measurements. Perform physical exam.
36 Components of Focused History and Physical Exam Medical history Baseline vital signs Physical exam
37 Rapid Physical Exam second head-to-toe exam Performed on: Significant trauma patients Unresponsive medical patients Identifies undiscovered conditions
38 DCAP-BTLS D Deformities C Contusions A Abrasions P Punctures/ Penetrations B Burns T Tenderness L Lacerations S Swelling
39 D-deformities
40 C-contusions
41 A-abrasions
42 P-punctures/penetrations
43 B-burns
44 T-tenderness
45 L-lacerations
46 S-swelling
47 Components of a Rapid Physical Exam
48 Maintain spinal immobilization while checking patient s ABCs. Assess the head. Assess the neck. Apply a cervical spine immobilization collar.
49 Assess the chest. Include presence of lung sounds Assess the abdomen. Assess the pelvis.
50 Assess all four extremities. Include: P- Pulse M- Motor S- Sensation Roll the patient with spinal precautions.
51 Focused Physical Exam Used to evaluate patient s chief complaint Performed on: Trauma patients without significant MOI Responsive medical patients
52 Head, Neck, and Cervical Spine Feel head and neck for deformity, tenderness, or crepitation. Check for bleeding. Ask about pain or tenderness
53 Chest Watch chest rise and fall with breathing. Feel for grating bones as patient breathes. Listen to breath sounds.
54 Abdomen Look for obvious injury, bruises, or bleeding. Evaluate for tenderness and any bleeding. Do not palpate too hard.
55 Pelvis Look for any signs of obvious injury, bleeding, or deformity. Press gently inward and downward on pelvic bones.
56 Extremities Look for obvious injuries. Feel for deformities. Assess Pulse Motor function Sensory function
57 Posterior Body Feel for tenderness, deformity, and open wounds. Carefully palpate from neck to pelvis. Look for obvious injuries.
58 Specific Chief Complaints Chest pain Shortness of breath Pain associated with bones or joints Abdominal pain Dizziness
59 Significant Mechanism of Injury Ejection from vehicle Death in passenger compartment Fall greater than 15'-20' Vehicle rollover High-speed collision Vehicle-pedestrian collision Motorcycle crash Unresponsiveness or altered mental status Penetrating trauma to the head, chest, or abdomen
60 Assessment Steps for Significant MOI Rapid trauma assessment Baseline vital signs SAMPLE history Reevaluate transport decision
61 Assessment Steps for Trauma Patients Without Significant MOI Focused assessment Baseline vital signs SAMPLE history Reevaluate transport decision
62 Responsive Medical Patients History of illness SAMPLE history Focused assessment Vital signs Reevaluate transport decision
63 Unresponsive Medical Patients Rapid medical assessment Baseline vital signs SAMPLE history Reevaluate transport decision
64 Patient Assessment Process
65 Detailed Physical Exam More in-depth exam based on focused physical exam Should only be performed if time and patient s condition allows Usually performed en route to the hospital
66 Performing the Detailed Physical Exam
67 Visualize and palpate using DCAP-BTLS. Look at the face. Inspect the area around the eyes and eyelids. Examine the eyes.
68 Pull the patient s ear forward to assess for bruising. Use the penlight to look for drainage or blood in the ears.
69 Look for bruising and lacerations about the head. Palpate the zygomas.
70 Palpate the maxillae. Palpate the mandible
71 Assess the mouth and nose for obstructions and cyanosis. Check for unusual odors.
72 Look at the neck. Palpate the front and the back of the neck. Look for distended jugular veins.
73 Look at the chest. Gently palpate over the ribs
74 Listen for breath sounds. Listen also at the bases and apices of the lungs.
75 Look at the abdomen and pelvis. Gently palpate the abdomen. Gently compress the pelvis.
76 Gently press the iliac crests. Inspect all four extremities. Assess the back for tenderness or deformities
77 Patient Assessment Process
78 Ongoing Assessment Is treatment improving the patient s condition? Has an already identified problem gotten better? Worse? What is the nature of any newly identified problems?
79 Steps of the Ongoing Assessment Repeat the initial assessment. Reassess and record vital signs. Repeat focused assessment. Check interventions
