Information : EMSReport
•Mechanism of injury
•Energy force involved
•Associated fracture
•Time of injury/ NPO
•Location of injury
Signs and symptomsof PBI
• skull or facial fractures,
• burns to more than 10% of total body surface area
(TBSA)
• penetrating head or chest wounds.
• Rapid shallow respirations are characteristic of lung
PBI, with shortness of breath (SOB)
• Dry or moist cough,
• Chest pain (often retrosternal)
• Diminished breath sounds.

Triage
Multiple casualties
= thenumber and severity of the injuries
Do not exceed the ability of the facility to render
care.
Treat life-threatening injuries first.
21.
Triage
Mass casualties
= thenumber and severity of the injuries exceed
the capability of the facility and staff.
The greatest chance of survival, with the least
expenditure of time, equipment, supplies, and
personnel are managed first.
Clinical Management Keys
Organizedteam approach with doing initial
assessment, coordinating procedures and
investigations
High priority multiple injury : ABC and impending
herniation
Low priority multiple injury : neuro, cardiac,
abdominal, severe chest injury, msk, burns
ED phase
24.
Clinical Management Keys
Treatbefore diagnosis in critically ill
Through physical examination for injuries
Frequent re-assessment
Monitoring vitals, intake/output, serial
Hb/Lactate, CVP and Swan Ganz, art line
ED phase
Resuscitation
•Protect and secureairway
•Oxygenation and ventilation
•Stop bleeding
•Vigorous shock therapy
•Protect from hypothermia

Clinical Management OfBlast Injury
• Management of pulmonary PBI is the same as
for pulmonary contusions
• Assume wheezing is due to pulmonary
contusion ; despite a history of asthma.
• Patients with penetrating trauma between the
nipples and scapulae there is a higher
probability for injury to great vessels and
mediastinal structures.1
• ECG should be performed for all chest pain
Key points
• Airemboloism
• Compartment Syndrome
• Early and subsequent chest X-ray (CXR)
• The combination of pulmonary infiltrates and
hypoxaemia defines pulmonary PBI. (gas exch
ange, using fewer tidal volume (TV) and press
ure changes )
44.
Key points
• Fowleror Trendelenburg positioning may
increase the risk of cerebral or coronary AAE.
• Massive haemoptysis may occur with
significant contusion
