Trauma Assessment

Trauma Assessment can be on the most difficult assessments you will do!  It has to be done quickly and with caution.  There is a lot to miss that if you do, can be life threatening to your patient. 

We will begin to focus a great deal on trauma on this page so keep checking back here.  In the meantime you can watch this video and you can download the Trauma Patient Assessment Worksheet.

Remember that the most important things in trauma are: ABC's, Administer Oxygen at 15 Liters, Control life threatening blood loss, and treat for shock!
