About Trauma Assessment and Care

GoConqr Original

What this unit covers

The unit follows a trauma patient from the scene to the hospital. Early resources look at how injuries happen. The flashcard deck Chapter 27: Kinetics defines mechanism of injury, kinetics and kinetic energy. The quiz Mechanism of injury lets you test that idea straight away.

Then come the body regions: spine, face and neck, chest, abdomen, burns, fractures and soft tissue injuries. Some resources focus on one region, such as the Helmet removal quiz or the mind map on cervical spinal column injuries. Others cover whole-patient approaches, such as ATLS 2018 and XABCDE - TRAUMA.

Where to start

  1. Read the deck Primary and secondary survey to learn the order of assessment.
  2. Open the mind map TRAUMA ASSESSMENT to see the steps on one page.
  3. Move to a region you find hard, such as chest or head injuries.
  4. Finish with a scenario quiz.

Using quizzes and maps together

The EMT quizzes, such as EMT 22 and EMT 26, give a short patient story and ask for the most likely injury or the right treatment. Try them cold first. Then check any missed answer against a mind map, such as Thoracic Trauma or Emergency Trauma - Hemorrhagic Shock. Flashcards suit quick recall of signs and immediate treatment, for example the deck Trauma on tension pneumothorax and open chest wounds.

Where it sits

This unit belongs to the Trauma Care strand of Emergency medicine and first aid. Its resources mention EMT and ATLS, so it suits professional candidates and university students. Teachers can pick quizzes and maps to set as class tasks.

Frequently asked questions

Which resource should I open first?

Start with the flashcard deck Primary and secondary survey and the mind map TRAUMA ASSESSMENT. They set out the order of assessment. After that, try a scenario quiz such as EMT 8, which asks you to work out a Glasgow Coma Scale score from a patient description.

What do the mind maps cover?

There are over 25 mind maps. Topics include wounds, facial trauma management, thoracic trauma, head injury, cervical spine injuries, hemorrhagic shock, abdominal trauma, fracture treatment and The Trauma Team. Some follow the A to E or XABCDE approach, and one is titled ATLS 2018.

Are the resources free to use?

Yes. Every resource listed here is free to open, study and take, with no account needed. They were made by GoConqr users, not by GoConqr itself. A free account also saves your quiz scores and lets you make your own quizzes, mind maps, flashcards and notes.

Which exams and levels do these resources suit?

The listed resources mention EMT and ATLS. Most are aimed at professional candidates, with a good share at university level. Teachers can also use them as ready-made material for classes on trauma assessment and care.

Are there quizzes on particular injuries?

Yes. You will find quizzes on chest trauma, burn trauma, soft tissue injuries, head and spinal trauma, eye and dental trauma, and the EMT chapter quizzes on spine, face and neck, chest, abdominal and multisystem trauma. There is also a quiz on helmet removal.

What if I cannot find the topic I need?

Browse the related flashcards and mind maps first, as a topic may sit under a broader title such as The Multiply Injured Patient. If it is still missing, make your own quiz, map or flashcards on that topic using a free account.
