What is a traumatic team?
The Trauma team is a team of doctors, nurses and technicians who work in the hospital's emergency room and treat patients suffering from serious illnesses or injuries that require immediate care. The core of the Trauma team consists of ten healthcare workers, including a doctor's readiness, anesthesiologist and two nurses. If an anesthetic assistant is not present, the third nurse may be replaced. Other staff such as a neurosurgeon can be added to the team if their specialty is needed. He decides to advance the team, gives instructions to other team members, receives and interprets important information, such as the results of investigation procedures, and consult with other specialists if necessary. Trauma team leader is usually a surgeon, emergency physician or anesthesiologist.
Anesthesiologist and anesthesiologist Assistant are responsible for monitoring the patient's condition. They monitor vital symptoms of the patient and administration of fluids and drugs. Are responsible for checking the respiratory tract to make withE has prevented the patient's breathing obstacle and the cervical spine is controlled if the patient's injury is at risk of damage to the spine. They also administer analgesics and anesthetic as needed for pain control.
General surgeon evaluates the abdominal and chest injury to the patient and performs any slices needed to access the chest, such as heart and lung, a process called thoracostomy. If no neurosurgeon is present, the general surgeon also evaluates the patient's head. Orthopedic surgeon evaluates the spine, pelvis and limbs; Wound dress; stabilizes fractures; and ensures intravenous approach. The physician of the emergency room helps both surgeons and can also perform part of the Thv if necessary E of the same procedures, which increases efficiency by allowing all three doctors to continue working simultaneously.
Nursing staff is assisted by doctors and surgeons, as well as an anesthesiologist if an anesthesia assistant is not present. AdviceOhgraph performs a number of X -rays, usually from the cervical spine and then moves to the chest and pelvis. Scribe records information about the patient, including his injury, vital symptoms and test results, as well as drugs and fluids and the names of the staff present. Specialists who have ever brought to the help of traumatic teams include radiologists, plastic surgeons and neurosurgeons, depending on the nature of the treated trauma.
In the United States and many other countries, trauma teams are trained in the program called Advanced Trauma Life Support (Atls), also known as timely management of heavy trauma (EMST). When the patient arrives, the traumatic team of the trained atlsřad begins to assess and treat patients with trauma, first treating life first. It begins with control and, if necessary, unlock the patient's respiratory tract, then move to chest injury, blood loss and then to neurological evaluation. Eventually sees the conditions of the patient's environment toThey prevented hypothermia, which is a common cause of death in people who have suffered serious blood loss. Once the patient's condition is stabilized and the closest threats for his life have been resolved, a more thorough secondary survey may begin.
