Objective:
1-defenition
2-epidemiology
3-etiology
4-pathophysiology
5-type of shock in polytrauma
6-Mangment
definition
 Polytrauma is a significant injury in at least two of the
following six body regions:
 Head , neck and cervical spine
 Face
 Chest and thoracic spine
 Abdomen and lumbar spine
 Limbs and bony pelvis
 External (skin)
Significant injury in AIS>=3
Abbreviated injury score AIS >=3
injury severity score ISS >=16
The defenition of polytrauma expanded to include
concurrent injury to two or more body parts or
systems that result in cognitive ,physical
,psychological or other psychosocial impairment.
Ex : TBI in combination with other disabiling
condition like amputation,auditory or visual
impairment, PTSD and other mental condition
Criteria of polytrauma include any one
of the following combination injury
•Two major system injury + one major limb
injury
•One major system injury +two major limb
injury
•One major system injury + one open grade
3 skeletal injury
•Unstable pelvis # with associated visceral
injury
Etiology of polytrauma
RTA
Fall from height (blunt or penetrating
injury)
Assault-‫اعتداء‬
Airplane crashes ,train derailment
Blast
Thermal ,chemical injury
Polytrauma is the third most common cause of death in all
age group.
1-first peak-major neurological or vascular injury
2-second peak-intracranial hematoma , major thoracic or abdominal
injury
3-third peak-sepsis and multiple organ fail
pathophysiology of polytrauma:
is complex phenomenon aiming at the restoration
of homeostasis and preservation of life
SIRS
Type of shock in polytraumatized
patient
1.Hemorrhagic shock
duo to loss blood voulme ,diagnosis based on vital sign
and examination characterized by hypotention
tachycardia and cold skin
2.neurogenic shock
duo to spinal cord injury that causes distribution of
sympathetic outflow to heart and blood vessles
characterized by hpotention .bradycardia .warm skin
3.hypoxic shock
4.septic shock
Phases of trauma care
1.prehospital care
2.emergency department
3.Rehabilitation
Prehospital care:
TRIAGE
Sorting and allocation of treatment to patient
according the urgency of their need for care Should be
performed rapidly
How to start triage
ATLS
Primary survey
Identify what is killing the patient.
Resuscitation
Treat what is killing the patient.
Secondary survey
Proceed to identify other injuries.
Definitive care
Develop a definitive management plan.
ATLS- PRIMARY SURVEY
A – Airway maintenance & control of C.Spine.
B –Breathing & ventilation.
C– Circulation & haemorrhage control
D – Disability limitation
E –Exposure & environment.
F – Fracture stabilization, folly catheter.
ATLS- PRIMARY SURVEY
A – Airway maintenance & Control of
C.Spine
If conscious- Ask the pt’s name
If unconscious-Look for added
sounds (stridor,cyanosis etc)
If the pt does not respond to any
questions- resuscitate.
 Always assume a cervical spine injury is
present
ATLS- PRIMARY SURVEY
A-AIRWAY
Sequence of events: chin lift
Jaw thrust
finger sweep
suction
Oropharyngeal/ orotrachial tube
Cricothyroidotomy
Trachiostomy
Primary Survey
B- Breathing & ventilation
• Exposure
• Inspection
• Auscultation
• Palpation
• Pulse oximetry
The aim is to hunt out & treat the life
threatening thoracic condns which include:
Primary Survey
B- Breathing & ventilation
life threatening
thoracic conditions:
1. Tension Pneumothorax
2. Open pneumothorax
3. Flail segment
4. Cardiac tamponade
Primary Survey
B- Breathing & ventilation
Tension pneumothorax
C/F Respiratory distress
Tracheal deviation
Diminished breath sounds
Distended neck veins
Immediate needle thoracocentesis thro’
2ndintercostal space in mid clavicular
line reqd.
Primary Survey
B- Breathing & ventilation
Open pneumothorax:
Sealing of the wound
Tube thoracostomy
Flail segment:
Endotrachial
intubation
Mechanical ventilation
Primary Survey
B- Breathing & ventilation
Cardiac tamponade
(almost always seen with a penetrating wound)
Beck’s triad:
Treatment: needle pericardiocentes
Thoracotomy
ATLS- Primary Survey
C- Circulation and hemorrhage control
Assessment of blood loss
External or obvious
Internal or covert
chest
abdomen
pelvis
limbs
Resuscitation
Arrest bleeding
Obtain vascular access
ATLS- Primary Survey
C- Circulation and hemorrhage control
Adults- 2 lit of Ringer lact soln as initial fluid
challenge
Children- 20mg/kg of body wt
Response to initial fluid challenge:
• Immediate & sustained return of vital
signs.
• Transient response with later
deterioration
• No improvement.
ATLS- Primary Survey
C- Circulation and hemorrhage control
Immediate responders-<20% blood loss
Bleeding ceases
spontaneously
Transient responders-
bleeding within body
cavities
Surgical intervention reqd.
Non responders- <40%of blood vol lost require
immediate surgery
Continued IV fluids detrimental
ATLS- Primary Survey
C- Circulation and hemorrhage control
Estimation of blood loss
ATLS- Primary Survey
D- Disability limitation
C.N.S.
Rapid assessment
of motor & sensory
functions
AVPU
A.-Alert
V.-Responds to
Voice
P.-Responds to
Pain
U.-Unresponsive
Pupil.-Size and
reaction
ATLS- Primary Survey
D- Disability limitation
• Remove remaining clothing
• Prevent hypothermia
CRITICAL DECISIONS

Responding well

Failure to respond
