The Trauma

Resuscitation TeamRoles & Responsibilities


Trauma Team PPE


Trauma Team Personal Protective Equipment Responsibilities

• For the purpose of this document, PPE is defined at the minimum as protective gown, gloves, and face shield. Hat and shoe covers are required for trauma patient transports into the OR.

• PPE will be donned for all L1 and L2 trauma activations through the entirety of the primary survey, secondary survey, and all invasive procedures: (i.e. femoral stick, chest tubes, intubation, resuscitative thoracotomy, emergent laceration intervention, DPL, wound irrigation and debridement, manipulation of open fractures)

• PPE will be donned for L3 trauma activations when there is potential for body fluid exposure and all invasive procedures described above


Trauma Team Attendance


Attendance Limit in Room & Role Identification

• Trauma Team members only – Located in pre-determined positions

• Trauma Team members will wear wear brightly brightly colored stickercolored sticker delineating their role, placed on their disposable gown over their left deltoid arealeft deltoid area


Know the roles you could be playing in a trauma & the responsibilities of that role

and…….Know other team members’ roles and

responsibilities to help create an efficient, orchestrated team working together to

optimize patient outcomes and

meet ED patient flow time goals…..

Striving to be

ONE of the BEST……!
