What are the Key Steps for Managing Trauma Patients?
Trauma patients require a systematic approach: - Primary Survey: Perform the ABCDE assessment. - Secondary Survey: Conduct a head-to-toe examination to identify other injuries. - Immobilization: Stabilize the spine if a spinal injury is suspected. - Wound Care: Clean and dress wounds appropriately. Nurses should be proficient in trauma nursing techniques to handle these situations efficiently.
