PHC team
Walk-in
Resus Bay 4 or
SARI Bay 2*
**Trauma Siren team:
Team Leader: EP floor or EP
oncall / ED Registrar
Members: MO, HO, SI2,
SN,MA

**Activation of Trauma Team would require a minimum total of 2 criteria’s.
Each of the 2 criteria’s need to be derived from at least 2 different categories
#Activation criteria example 2
All trauma patients in Red Zone during office hour
#Activation criteria example 3
Mnemonic..
A- Airway compromise
B- Breathing issues
C- Circulatory shock
D- Disability- less responsive
E- Exposure- obvious polytrauma
T- Traumatic Arrest
R- Responsive AVPU
A- ABC compromise
U- Unstable injury- e.g. FAST positive, open book pelvic #
M- Mechanism of injury
A- Age > 65y.o., trauma in pregnancy, children
Trauma Team Dynamics
Position Specialty Role
Team leader • EP
• Surgeon
• Controls and manages the resuscitation. Hands off!
• Allocates roles to other members of the team
• Directs the resuscitation, makes critical decisions and prioritises care
Airway • Anaesthetist
• EP
• Responsible for assessing and managing the airway and ventilation
• Administers oxygen therapy, performs suction, inserts airway adjuncts,
performs endotracheal intubation (RSI)
• Maintains cervical spine immobilisation and controls the log roll
Primary Assessment
(Doctor 1)
• ED or Surgical Registrar • Undertakes the primary survey
• Reports clinical findings clearly to the team leader and scribe
• Conducts FAST exam
• May be required to perform procedures dependant on whether Doctor
2 is present and on skill set and training
Secondary
Assessment
(Doctor 2)
• ED, Surgical or
Orthopedics Registrar
• Performs procedures dependant on skill set and training (finger
thoracostomy, chest drain insertion)
• Gains intravenous (IV) or intraosseous (IO) access and draws bloods
• Has nasogastric tube (NGT) and in-dwelling catheter (IDC) insertion
tubes ready
• Conducts the secondary survey
Surgeons • Surgeon
• Ortho surgeon
• Neurosurgeon
• Assists with the secondary survey and advanced procedures, including
decision for operative management
Radiology • Radiologist • Alert radiographer to standby to take x-rays as directed
• Alert CT suite to assist in CT scans – FAST TRACK TRAUMA CT
Nurse 1 and Nurse 2 • SN & MA redzone
• SI 2
• Cuts off clothing for full assessment
• Place monitoring equipment on the patient
• Takes temperature
• Assists with advanced airway interventions as necessary
• Assists with procedures (NGT / IDC / chest drain) as necessary or
medical care as directed by the team leader
• Commences IV fluid therapy or bloods via a warmer if necessary
• Draws up drugs and administers medications as necessary
(morphine, anaesthetic induction agents)
• Set up external warming and ensures the patient is kept normothermic
during resuscitation
• Gathers the patient’s belongings and documents a record of their
possessions
Scribe • ED, Surg, Ortho MO & HO • Collates all information and records it on trauma charting
• Keeps an accurate record of time of arrival, interventions and events
• Records drug dosages, time of administration and amounts
• Prepares paperwork for inter-hospital transfer if necessary
