Dr. Rich Hilsden, Trauma surgeon, discusses yet another change to the primary survey.
In his previous video, Dr. Hilsden discussed the addition of exsanguinating hemorrhage as the first element of the primary survey. This is a big change in trauma care. Advanced Trauma Life Support (ATLS) has for nearly 50 years begun with evaluating the airway. In addition to that change, we are now looking to add F to the end of the primary survey. F won't be a single F but rather will be many F's:
Facility
Futility
Family Presence
Future Goals
If you think there should be other F's as part of the primary survey comment down below. We would love to hear what you have to say.
For those playing the home game the Primary Survey would then look like this.
eXsanguinating Hemorrhage
Airway
Breathing
Circulation
Disability (I always call this neurological status)
Exposure (Some people add environment)
F's (Facility, Futility, Family Presence or support, and Future Goals)
As aways,
Thanks for watching.
