Trauma is a major cause of disability in the United States. According to the Centers for Disease Control (CDC) in 2008, 118,021 deaths occurred due to trauma. Trauma is the leading cause of death in people under 44 years of age, accounting for half the deaths of children under the age of 4 years, and 80% of deaths in persons 15 to 24 years of age.  \nAs a responder, your actions within the first few moments of arriving on the scene of a traumatic injury are crucial to the success of managing the situation. Within these moments, you must size up the situation, mitigate as many hazards as possible, establish incident command, rapidly triage patients and ultimately assess, treat and extricate patients from the scene. In doing so, you must decide when to extricate a patient and what treatment is essential to improve the patient's chances of survival, based on your knowledge, previous experience and a problem-based assessment algorithm.  \nRapid transport of the trauma patient is essential to improving patient outcome.  \nThe trauma patient varies in presentation based on the type and mechanism of injury. Primarily, the pre-hospital EMS provider is concerned with five areas in the field; securing the scene to protect both rescuers and patients, conducting a primary assessment and managing any life threats, performing a rapid trauma assessment, extricating the victim rapidly while protecting the cervical spine, and immobilizing and transporting the victim to an appropriate facility while conducting a secondary and ongoing surveys.  \nSCENE SURVEY:  \n\n| Summary of Scene Survey |\n| --- |\n| Evaluate situation / scene for potential safety hazards.\u003Cbr>Obtain an overview of the scene to determine Mechanism of Injury (MOI) include damage to vehicle, structures, furniture, etc.\u003Cbr>Wear personal protective equipment (PPE) appropriate to hazards of the scene and / or patient.\u003Cbr>Gain access to the patient.\u003Cbr>Determine the number of patients and additional resources needed. |\n\nAs with all scene responses, assessment of the situation begins from the moment of first dispatch. You must not only consider the information received, but take into account the time of day, traffic, weather, safety issues and potential resources that may be required. As you arrive, the first concern should be to assess the scene for safety of responding pre-hospital EMS providers and to develop an index of suspicion for potential injuries based upon the scene and mechanism of injury. Your safety always comes first, followed by your team, then your patient. Once it is determined that the scene is manageable, begin patient triage. There has been some controversy as to which triage method or methods should be used, as there are at least , nine different triage tools available  \nTRAUMA PATIENT ASSESSMENT  \nTRAUMA PATIENT ASSESSMENT  \nworldwide, including two pediatric versions, but there is little evidence supporting one method over the other.
