Emergency Trauma Assessment

During emergency trauma accidents, proper assessment can be easily remembered with the alphabetical letters A-I.

Airway – check for patency of airway. Make sure that there is no obstruction along the airway passages.

Breathing – is the patient still breathing? Check for the quality of breathing pattern if it’s too fast or to shallow.

Circulation – checking for the pulse, heart rate and blood pressure will ensure if the blood circulation within the body is not compromised.

Disability – check if the patient can fully move his limbs. Check the five senses – vision, hearing, smell, taste, and touch. Assess the level of consciousness of the patient if he is fully awake and oriented.

Examine – visually examine the patient for problems. Look for wounds, fracture and other physical problems.

Fahrenheit – check the patient’s temperature if there is hyperthermia or hypothermia.

Get Vitals – obtain patient’s vital signs like temperature, heart rate, respiratory rate and blood pressure.

Head-to-toe assessment – conduct physical assessment from head-to-toe. Determine body symmetry.

Intervention – for the problems detected after completing your assessment, prioritize planned interventions. Conducting first-aid interventions is beneficial before transferring the patient into proper medical facilities.
