Trauma Team Training/Formative Evaluation - Module 1 Initial Assessment

Transfer for definitive care means referral to another hospital

Resuscitation follows the primary survey

A patients failure to protect the airway is an indication for intubation

Catastrophic hemorrhage (Uncontrolled severe bleeding) takes priority over the ABCDE of the Primary Survey

A laryngeal mask is often a good alternative to endotracheal intubtion

If there is evidence of shock in adult or large adolescent patient give 2 liters of normal saline in 20 minutes

Low blood pressure in trauma patients is usually caused by neurogenic shock.

An order from the Team Leader is an example of close looped communication

A good team member always follows the direction of the team leader.

Simulation provides the methodology for practicing skills and team work
