MATATAG CURRICULUM: ASSESSING THE READINESS OF ELEM. PUBLIC SCHOOL TEACHERS I...NelTorrente
In this research, it concludes that while the readiness of teachers in Caloocan City to implement the MATATAG Curriculum is generally positive, targeted efforts in professional development, resource distribution, support networks, and comprehensive preparation can address the existing gaps and ensure successful curriculum implementation.
A Strategic Approach: GenAI in EducationPeter Windle
Artificial Intelligence (AI) technologies such as Generative AI, Image Generators and Large Language Models have had a dramatic impact on teaching, learning and assessment over the past 18 months. The most immediate threat AI posed was to Academic Integrity with Higher Education Institutes (HEIs) focusing their efforts on combating the use of GenAI in assessment. Guidelines were developed for staff and students, policies put in place too. Innovative educators have forged paths in the use of Generative AI for teaching, learning and assessments leading to pockets of transformation springing up across HEIs, often with little or no top-down guidance, support or direction.
This Gasta posits a strategic approach to integrating AI into HEIs to prepare staff, students and the curriculum for an evolving world and workplace. We will highlight the advantages of working with these technologies beyond the realm of teaching, learning and assessment by considering prompt engineering skills, industry impact, curriculum changes, and the need for staff upskilling. In contrast, not engaging strategically with Generative AI poses risks, including falling behind peers, missed opportunities and failing to ensure our graduates remain employable. The rapid evolution of AI technologies necessitates a proactive and strategic approach if we are to remain relevant.

4. Objectives
Demonstrate primary and secondary
patient assessment
Establish priorities in trauma scenarios
Initiate primary and secondary
management
Arrange disposition of the patient
5. Trimodal Death Distribution of
Trauma
Trimodal death distribution
– First peak is instant death (brain, heart, large vessel injury)
– Second peak occurs from minutes to hours after the trauma
– Third peak occurs days to weeks after the trauma (sepsis, Multiple Organ
Failure)
Emergency Nursing focuses on the second peak…..Deaths from:
Traumatic Brain Injury,
Skull fractures, orbital fractures…
Penetrating neck injuries…
Spinal cord injuries…
Cardiac tamponade, tension pneumothorax, massive hemothorax, esophageal
injury, diaphragmatic herniation, flail chest, sucking chest wounds, pulmonary
contusion, tracheobronchial injuries, penetrating heart injury, aortic arch injuries
…
Pelvic fractures, femur fractures, humerus fractures…
Liver laceration, splenic ruptures, pancreatico-duodenal injuries, retroperitoneal
injuries
Bladder rupture, renal contusion, renal laceration, urethral injury…
You get the point
6. Treating Trauma
Treat the greatest threat to life first
Do not wait for a diagnosis to start
treatment
A detailed history of the trauma is not
necessary to begin the care
Always start with the ABCDE approach
7. Initial Assessment and
Management
An effective trauma system needs the
teamwork of emergency medical services,
nurses, doctors, x-ray technicians, and
others
Trauma roles
– Trauma captain – Someone runs the trauma
– Interventionalists – anyone who helps out
– Nurses – who do the work
– Recorder – to document treatment
8. Primary Survey
Patients are assessed and treatment
priorities established based on their
injuries, vital signs, and injury mechanisms
ABCDEs of trauma care
– A
– B
– C
– D
– E
Airway and c-spine protection
Breathing and ventilation
Circulation with hemorrhage control
Disability/Neurologic status
Exposure/Environmental control
10. A- Airway
Airway should be assessed for patency
– Is the patient able to talk?
– Inspect for foreign bodies
– Examine for stridor, hoarseness, gurgling, pooled
saliva or blood
Assume there is a spinal injury in patients
with multi-trauma
– C-spine clearance can be both clinical(by the doctor)
and/or x-ray
– Spinal protection should remain in place until patient
can cooperate with clinical exam
11. Airway Interventions
Oxygen
Suction
Chin lift/jaw thrust
Oral or nasal airways
Establish a secure airway
– Rapid intubation for agitated patients with cspine immobilization
DiverDave, Wikimedia Commons
13. B- Breathing
Airway patency does not ensure adequate
ventilation
Look, Listen, and Touch
– Deviated trachea, crepitus(popcorn chest),
flail chest, sucking chest wound, absence of
breath sounds
Chest Xray if available to evaluate lungs
17. Breathing Interventions
Ventilate with 100% oxygen
Needle decompression if tension
pneumothorax suspected
Chest tubes for pneumothorax /
hemothorax
Occlusive dressing to sucking chest
wound
If intubated, evaluate tube position
19. C- Circulation
Rapid assessment of hemodynamic status
– Level of consciousness
– Skin color
– Pulses in arms and legs
– Blood pressure
20. C- Circulation
Shock should be considered on every
Trauma patient
Types of shock:
– Hypovolemic – loss of blood or plasma
– Cardiogenic – The heart is less able to pump
blood
– Obstructive – Physical obstruction reduces
cardiac output
– Distributive – Disruption to vasomotor tone
21. Hypovolemic Shock
The physical loss of either
– Blood – due to hemorrhage
– Plasma – due to burns
This patient will present with:
Decreasing Blood Pressure
Increasing Heart rate
Increasing anxiety (until lethargy and unconciousness
set in)
Increase respiratory rate
Decreased urine output
22. Hypovolemic Shock Interventions
Monitor pulse and blood pressure
continuously
Apply pressure to bleeding sites
Establish IV access
– 2 large bore IVs
Volume resuscitation
– Have blood and/or fluids ready if needed
– Foley catheter to monitor output (unless there
are signs of urethral injury)
23. IV Tips
Easiest IV sites –
– Antecubital
– Wrist, next to thumb
– Scalp or feet (on infants)
Keep catheter TIGHT
It is alright to miss, so don t worry.
Thirteen of Clubs, flickr
24. Cardiogenic Shock
Inadequate contractility of the heart due to
– MI
– Blunt trauma to the heart
– Dysrhythmias
– Cardiac Failure
Rare in Trauma cases
This pt does not necessarily need fluids
26. Obstructive Shock
Physical obstruction or compression of the
heart or vessels around it
– Cardiac Tamponade
– Tension Pneumothorax
– Tension Hemothorax
29. Distributive Shock
Loss of vessel tone due to
– Sepsis (unlikely in an acute trauma)
– Neurogenic (spinal damage)
This patient will usually have
– Dry, warm skin (not sweating)
– Bradycardia
30. Distributive Shock Interventions
Septic shock is treated with antibiotics,
which we will save for another lecture
Neurogenic shock is covered under the
next step, which is…
31. D- Disability
Abbreviated neurological exam
– Level of consciousness
– Pupil size and reactivity
– Motor function
– Glasgow Coma Scale
Utilized to determine severity of injury
33. Disability Interventions
Spinal cord injury
– Keep spine stabalization!
– High dose steroids may be used
Decreasing Mental Status may be a sign
of Elevated Intercranial Pressure
– Sit patient up
– Hyperventilation – increase breathing and
oxygen
34. E- Exposure
Complete disrobing of patient
Logroll to inspect back
Rectal temperature
Warm blankets to prevent hypothermia
37. Case
28 year old man is involved in a high speed motorcycle accident.
He was not wearing a helmet. He is groaning and utters, my
belly , uggghhh .
Heart Rate 134 Blood Pressure 87/42 Respirations 32 SaO2
89% on 100% oxygen by mask
Patient is drowsy but arousable to voice, has large bruise over the
left side of his scalp, airway is patent, decreased breath sounds over
right chest, abdominal pain to touch, obvious left ankle deformity
38. ABCDE
What are the priorities right now?
What are this patient s possible injuries?
What are the interventions that need to
happen now?
39. Secondary Survey
AMPLE history
– Allergies, medications, PMH, last meal, events
Physical exam from head to toe, including
rectal exam
Frequent reassessment of vitals
Diagnostic studies at this time simultaneously
– X-rays, lab work
– FAST exam (Ultrasound)
41. Diagnostic Aids
Bloodwork
Standard trauma radiographs
– Chest X-ray, pelvis, lateral C-spine
Pt should only go to radiology if stable
Pt must be monitored in xray
43. Bilateral Pubic Ramus Fractures and
Sacroiliac Joint Disruption
What should this injury make you worry
about?
Massive Internal Bleeding
Source Unknown
44. Abdominal Trauma
Common source of traumatic injury
Mechanism is important
– Bike accident over the handlebars
– Road Traffic Accident with steering wheel
trauma
High suspicion with tachycardia,
hypotension, and abdominal tenderness
Can be asymptomatic early on
Ultrasound can be early screening tool
45. Abdominal Trauma
Look for distension, tenderness, seatbelt
marks, penetrating trauma, retroperitoneal
ecchymosis (Bruising on the flanks)
Source Unknown
46. Splenic Injury
Most commonly injured organ in blunt trauma
Often associated with other injuries
Left lower rib pain may be indicative
Often can be managed non-operatively
47. Liver injury
Second most common solid organ injury
Can be difficult to manage surgically
Often associated with other abdominal
injuries
48. Pregnant Trauma Patients
Pregnant trauma patients are at risk for:
– Premature Labor
– Abruptio Placentae
– Uterine Rupture
49. Pregnant Trauma Patients
Interventions
Premature Labor –
– May be hard to spot in unconscious or intubated pts
– May be masked as trauma related back pain
– If mother is stable, can give medications to stop labor
Abruptio Placentae –
– Monitor fetal heart tones for 48 hours after trauma
Uterine Rupture –
– May be associated with bladder rupture, with blood or
meconium in the urine
– Rarely repairable – treat mother for blood loss,
possible trauma surgery needed
50. Pediatric Trauma Patients
5 months and under, assume they are
obligate nose breathers
Respiratory and heart rates differ by age
Can be come hypoglycemic easily
Children can maintain a normal blood
pressure for much longer than adults, so
BP is NOT a reliable indicator of shock.
Watch the heart rate instead.
51. Disposition of Trauma Patients
Dictated by the patient s condition and
available resources
– OR, admit, or send home
Serial examinations
– Look for Mental Status Changes
– Abdominal exams for increased bruising or
pain
– Check lungs for changes in air movement
52. Summary
Trauma is best managed by a team
approach (there s no I in trauma)
A thorough primary and secondary survey
is key to identify life threatening injuries
Once a life threatening injury is
discovered, intervention should not be
delayed
Disposition is determined by the patient s
condition as well as available resources.
