Different injuries require specific assessment techniques:
- Head Injuries: Check for loss of consciousness, pupil response, and signs of concussion. - Spinal Injuries: Assess for pain, tenderness, and neurological deficits. Immobilization is crucial. - Fractures: Look for deformity, swelling, and inability to move the affected limb. - Soft Tissue Injuries: Evaluate for pain, swelling, and range of motion. - Burns: Determine the depth and extent of burns using tools like the Rule of Nines.
