1 TNP Teaching Station E Focus: Intubated Patient, Interpersonal Violence Objective Upon completion of this teaching station the learner will be able to: 1. demonstrate appropriate assessment for a hemodynamically unstable multiple trauma patient. 2. Identify assessment findings and interventions for the patient with an unstable pelvic fracture. Discussion Points Emphasize the sequence for assessing any definitive airway placed in the field After assessing alertness, the Endotracheal Tube (ETT) is the priority assessment Continue with the oropharynx assessment and proceed to the breathing assessment Compare to Intravenous (IV) placement in the field; the patency is assessed first before using the access Review and reinforce the use of balanced fluid resuscitation for uncontrolled hemorrhage Discuss the use of FOUR Score for the intubated patient Emphasize the need for a Computed Tomography (CT) scan when neurologic status is determined to be abnormal Discuss that urinary output of 0.5 ml/kg/hour is evidence of adequate fluid resuscitation in the average adult patient Emphasize that multiple trauma patients will have pain in spite of being intubated and paralyzed Emphasize the importance of the first reevaluation step in this scenario regarding suspected hemorrhage Review contraindications to urinary catheter insertion Review evidence collection procedures Review mandated reporting requirements Prehospital MIST Report An ambulance is en route with a 27-year-old female patient who was pushed out of a car traveling at approximately 45 mph (72 kph) She is intubated, and ventilations are being assisted with a bag-mask device Her blood pressure is 92/70 mm Hg, heart rate is 132 beats/min, respirations are assisted at 16 breaths/min, and SpO 2 is 95% She has one large-caliber IV line with isotonic crystalloid solution infusing at a rapid rate She is in full cervical spinal immobilization on a spine board There are deformities of the right forearm and bilateral lower extremities The patient is expected in five minutes. Please begin your initial assessment process. (note: If a model is used, for the sake of the model s comfort and safety, assume the model is in complete cervical spinal immobilization and that the team is adhering to standard precautions.) TNCC Seventh Edition 1
2 Preparation and Triage 1. States the need to activate the trauma team The trauma team is activated. Is there any specific equipment that you would prepare? 2. States need to prepare the trauma room. Ventilator respiratory therapy support Rapid infuser 3. States need to don personal protective equipment (PPE). Preparation is complete. PPE has been donned by the team. 4. Assesses for obvious uncontrolled external hemorrhage The patient has just arrived. Across-the-room Observation There is no uncontrolled external hemorrhage and no need to consider reprioritizing to <C>ABC. Primary Survey Airway and Alertness with Simultaneous Cervical Spinal Stabilization 5. Assess level of consciousness using AVPU 6. States the need to assess the placement of the ETT placed in the field (must identify ALL FIVE): Carbon dioxide (CO 2 ) detection device Observes for rise and fall of the chest with assisted ventilation and auscultates over the epigastrium Auscultates for bilateral breath sounds After 5 or 6 breaths, observes the CO 2 detector for evidence of CO 2 in exhaled air Assesses for improvement in patient s skin color The patient responds to verbal stimuli by appropriate withdrawal. Breathing and Ventilation CO 2 detector device is attached. Chest rises and falls with assisted ventilations and no gurgling is heard over the epigastrium. Breath sounds are equal bilaterally. After 5 to 6 breaths, there is positive evidence for CO 2 indicating the ETT is correctly placed in the trachea. Skin color is pale. NOTE: If the learner chooses a capnography sensor instead of the onetime-use detection device, give credit for this in Get Resuscitation Adjuncts. NOTE: If the learner chooses to insert a gastric tube, it can be done here without penalty for order. Give credit in Get Resuscitation Adjuncts.

Assesses the airway, using inspection, auscultation, and palpation (identifies at least TWO): Are there any loose or missing teeth? Are there any foreign objects? Is there any blood, vomitus, or secretions? Is there any bony deformity? Ventilations continue. Manual cervical spinal immobilization is being provided. Please demonstrate your opening of the airway. There are no loose or missing teeth. foreign objects are noted. There are oral secretions; there is no blood or vomitus. bony deformity is noted. 12. States the need to suction the oropharynx The oropharynx is suctioned. 13. Reassesses the airway after suctioning the oropharynx The airway is now patent. TNCC Seventh Edition 3
