THE ABCs OF TRAUMA [PRIMARY AND SECONDARY SURVEY]

The PRIMARY SURVEY is the initial assessment and management of a trauma patient. It is conducted to detect and treat actual or imminent life threats and prevent complications from these injuries. A systematic approach using ABCDE is used, which stands for Airway, Breathing, Circulation, Disability and Exposure It is used for immediate assessment and treatment of critically ill or injured patients. The main causes of death in a trauma patient are airway obstruction, respiratory failure, shock from hemorrhage, and brain injuries. Therefore, these are the areas targeted during the primary survey. The SECONDARY SURVEY is performed once the patient has been resuscitated and stabilised. It involves a more thorough head-to-toe examination, and the aim is to detect other significant but not immediately life-threatening injuries.
