Introduction: Trauma:
Head-to-toe assessment
(Professional Guide to Diseases (Eighth Edition))
Secondary assessment also includes a thorough head-to-toe assessment of the patient. Quickly and carefully look for multiple injuries by systematically examining the patient. If you detect no spinal injury, carefully logroll the patient over to inspect his back for other wounds.
In chest trauma, assess for open wounds, tension pneumothorax, hemothorax, cardiac tamponade, bruises and hematomas, flail chest, and fractured larynx. Cover open wounds and apply direct pressure to the wound as necessary. Be ready to assist with insertion of chest tubes, pericardiocentesis, cricothyrotomy, or tracheotomy, as appropriate.
Insert an indwelling urinary catheter and a nasogastric tube, and give prophylactic antibiotics and immunizations, as indicated. Appropriate diagnostic studies — such as X-rays, computed tomography (CT) scans, peritoneal lavage, magnetic resonance imaging (MRI), and excretory urography — may be performed based on assessment findings and patient stabilization. Notify medical or surgical specialists, as appropriate.
