Description

Rapidly assess and prioritize trauma patients based on the severity of injuries, mechanism of injury, and physiological status using the Advanced Trauma Life Support (ATLS) principles.
Perform primary and secondary surveys to identify life-threatening injuries, manage airway, breathing, and circulation (ABCs), and initiate interventions to stabilize patients' vital signs and prevent further deterioration.
Perform emergent procedures such as endotracheal intubation, chest tube insertion, needle decompression, cricothyroidotomy, and emergent surgical airway management as needed to manage airway compromise, tension pneumothorax, and other life-threatening conditions.
Perform rapid sequence intubation (RSI) and administer sedation and analgesia while maintaining hemodynamic stability and ensuring adequate oxygenation and ventilation.
Order and interpret diagnostic tests, including trauma imaging studies (X-rays, CT scans), laboratory tests (complete blood count, comprehensive metabolic panel), and point-of-care testing (arterial blood gases) to assess the extent and severity of injuries and guide treatment decisions.
Utilize clinical decision rules and evidence-based guidelines to guide the appropriate use of diagnostic tests and imaging modalities in trauma patients.
Coordinate with multidisciplinary trauma teams, including trauma surgeons, orthopedic surgeons, neurosurgeons, anesthesiologists, nurses, and paramedics, to provide coordinated and timely care for trauma patients.
