BD Q-Syte Split Septum
Smooth surface is
easily cleaned prior to
access
No crevices or
gaps around the
surface to harbor
bacteria
Clear housing
allows visual
assessment of
fluid path
Simple fluid path
design reduces
places for microbes to
grow
Simple Luer Lock System – eliminates multiple pieces

Flushing/Admin: Use Direct
Approach
![Page 9: WFPS Spring 2014 Medical ConEd Field Session](https://reader034.fdocuments.us/reader034/viewer/2022042716/55a727971a28ab885e8b461e/html5/thumbnails/9.jpg)
ClearLink Solution Set
Luer ports – residual 0.03cc of air
Flush line – age considerations
Disinfect site prior to access
No need to “pinch line” due to back
check valve
Flush with 1ml of saline after
medication administration
![Page 10: WFPS Spring 2014 Medical ConEd Field Session](https://reader034.fdocuments.us/reader034/viewer/2022042716/55a727971a28ab885e8b461e/html5/thumbnails/10.jpg)
Preparing Solution Set
6 month – Adult: remove air from
back check valve and Y luer ports by
inverting and tapping to flush out
bubbles
0 – 6 month: remove air from back
check valve by inverting and tapping
to flush out bubbles. Disinfect each (3)
Y luer port and withdraw air using a 10
cc syringe until saline enters syringe.

Treatment
ABC’s
Oxygen
Establish IV
Nitrates?
◦ Nitro patch? When do you administer?
12 Lead?
STEMI?
Transport
![Page 22: WFPS Spring 2014 Medical ConEd Field Session](https://reader034.fdocuments.us/reader034/viewer/2022042716/55a727971a28ab885e8b461e/html5/thumbnails/22.jpg)
Slightly Different Situation
What if this patient’s BP was 88/60? How would this change your treatment?
Nitrates? 12 lead/ look for STEMI? Atropine 0.5 - 1.0 mg IV◦ Responsive? Repeat q 3 to max of 0.04
mg/kg

Need a Break?
![Page 45: WFPS Spring 2014 Medical ConEd Field Session](https://reader034.fdocuments.us/reader034/viewer/2022042716/55a727971a28ab885e8b461e/html5/thumbnails/45.jpg)
Case 2 21:30 call for a 22
year old male, thrown? or jumped? from a third floor window at the McLaren Hotel to sidewalk
Police arrive on scene, report conscious male, requesting “rush”
On arrival, bystanders report approximately 5 minute period of unconsciousness
![Page 46: WFPS Spring 2014 Medical ConEd Field Session](https://reader034.fdocuments.us/reader034/viewer/2022042716/55a727971a28ab885e8b461e/html5/thumbnails/46.jpg)
Prehospital Trauma Life
Support Recall our PHTLS approach to trauma? “Find it, manage it, move on” Search for life threatening injuries and
take immediate action: treat as you go◦ If unable to manage, transport immediately
Limited interventions on scene, do this enroute◦ Recognizing that time taken with
interventions increases time to blood, surgery, CT, etc.
Consider if interventions on scene actually harm the critical patient by increasing time to definitive care
![Page 47: WFPS Spring 2014 Medical ConEd Field Session](https://reader034.fdocuments.us/reader034/viewer/2022042716/55a727971a28ab885e8b461e/html5/thumbnails/47.jpg)
PHTLS Algorithm
![Page 48: WFPS Spring 2014 Medical ConEd Field Session](https://reader034.fdocuments.us/reader034/viewer/2022042716/55a727971a28ab885e8b461e/html5/thumbnails/48.jpg)
PHTLS Algorithm
![Page 49: WFPS Spring 2014 Medical ConEd Field Session](https://reader034.fdocuments.us/reader034/viewer/2022042716/55a727971a28ab885e8b461e/html5/thumbnails/49.jpg)
Other Key PHTLS Concepts
Limited scene intervention:
◦ Control bleeds, correct life-threatening
airway/breathing/circulation concerns
◦ Assist ventilations as required
Other interventions (eg. IV and fluid
resuscitation) to occur enroute
Limited scene time/ expedited
transportation to appropriate facility
Ideally; Trauma center
![Page 50: WFPS Spring 2014 Medical ConEd Field Session](https://reader034.fdocuments.us/reader034/viewer/2022042716/55a727971a28ab885e8b461e/html5/thumbnails/50.jpg)
Other Key PHTLS Concepts
For a critical patient:
◦ Vitals on scene?
◦ Detailed history on scene?
◦ Detailed physical exam on scene?
![Page 51: WFPS Spring 2014 Medical ConEd Field Session](https://reader034.fdocuments.us/reader034/viewer/2022042716/55a727971a28ab885e8b461e/html5/thumbnails/51.jpg)
Back to the Patient 21:30 call for a 22
year old male, thrown? or jumped? from a third floor window at the McLaren Hotel to sidewalk
Police arrive on scene, report conscious male, requesting “rush”
On arrival, bystanders report approximately 5 minute period of unconsciousness
![Page 52: WFPS Spring 2014 Medical ConEd Field Session](https://reader034.fdocuments.us/reader034/viewer/2022042716/55a727971a28ab885e8b461e/html5/thumbnails/52.jpg)
Assessment Approach
What would you like to know?
What are your assessment priorities?
What are some expected injuries
given the kinematics of the fall?
![Page 53: WFPS Spring 2014 Medical ConEd Field Session](https://reader034.fdocuments.us/reader034/viewer/2022042716/55a727971a28ab885e8b461e/html5/thumbnails/53.jpg)
Scene Assessment
WPS has arrived and secured scene
Scene is safe us and everyone else
Patient is in back lane and traffic has
been blocked from entering
Appears to be only one patient
EMS unit and Fire unit arrive together
◦ No need for further resources
◦ Everyone has taken standard precautions
![Page 54: WFPS Spring 2014 Medical ConEd Field Session](https://reader034.fdocuments.us/reader034/viewer/2022042716/55a727971a28ab885e8b461e/html5/thumbnails/54.jpg)
Walking Up
What details will you look for?
General appearance?
![Page 55: WFPS Spring 2014 Medical ConEd Field Session](https://reader034.fdocuments.us/reader034/viewer/2022042716/55a727971a28ab885e8b461e/html5/thumbnails/55.jpg)
What Next?
AIRWAY: small amount of blood in
mouth = gurgling
Cleared with suction, now patent
![Page 56: WFPS Spring 2014 Medical ConEd Field Session](https://reader034.fdocuments.us/reader034/viewer/2022042716/55a727971a28ab885e8b461e/html5/thumbnails/56.jpg)
Now What?
BREATHING:
◦ Expose
◦ Palpate
◦ Auscultate
Treatment?
◦ NRB sufficient for now
◦ Consideration to assisting respirations/
have BVM ready
![Page 57: WFPS Spring 2014 Medical ConEd Field Session](https://reader034.fdocuments.us/reader034/viewer/2022042716/55a727971a28ab885e8b461e/html5/thumbnails/57.jpg)
Next?
CIRCULATION:
◦ HEMORRHAGE CONTROL:
Look for external hemorrhage
Manage these bleeds
Direct pressure
◦ PERFUSION:
Assess pulse (presence, quality, rate)
Assess skin (color, temp, moisture)
![Page 58: WFPS Spring 2014 Medical ConEd Field Session](https://reader034.fdocuments.us/reader034/viewer/2022042716/55a727971a28ab885e8b461e/html5/thumbnails/58.jpg)
Hmm…
What do you think about your findings
so far?
![Page 59: WFPS Spring 2014 Medical ConEd Field Session](https://reader034.fdocuments.us/reader034/viewer/2022042716/55a727971a28ab885e8b461e/html5/thumbnails/59.jpg)
On to “D”
DISABILITY:
◦ Assess GCS
◦ Assess pupils
![Page 60: WFPS Spring 2014 Medical ConEd Field Session](https://reader034.fdocuments.us/reader034/viewer/2022042716/55a727971a28ab885e8b461e/html5/thumbnails/60.jpg)
Glasgow Coma Scale
![Page 61: WFPS Spring 2014 Medical ConEd Field Session](https://reader034.fdocuments.us/reader034/viewer/2022042716/55a727971a28ab885e8b461e/html5/thumbnails/61.jpg)
And finally, “E”EXPOSE/ENVIRONMENT
![Page 62: WFPS Spring 2014 Medical ConEd Field Session](https://reader034.fdocuments.us/reader034/viewer/2022042716/55a727971a28ab885e8b461e/html5/thumbnails/62.jpg)
Internal Hemorrhage
If suspected, quickly expose the
abdomen and pelvis
Palpate abdomen and pelvis
![Page 63: WFPS Spring 2014 Medical ConEd Field Session](https://reader034.fdocuments.us/reader034/viewer/2022042716/55a727971a28ab885e8b461e/html5/thumbnails/63.jpg)
There it is! When you palpate the pelvis the patient
groans loudly and it does not feel stable
When you expose you note that the
patient’s scrotum/inner thigh area is turning
purple
Later at hospital, staff sees this:
![Page 64: WFPS Spring 2014 Medical ConEd Field Session](https://reader034.fdocuments.us/reader034/viewer/2022042716/55a727971a28ab885e8b461e/html5/thumbnails/64.jpg)
Time to go?
Set of vitals first?
Start one IV on scene?
How do we package the patient?
![Page 65: WFPS Spring 2014 Medical ConEd Field Session](https://reader034.fdocuments.us/reader034/viewer/2022042716/55a727971a28ab885e8b461e/html5/thumbnails/65.jpg)
Immobilization? Should we immobilize this patient?
Don’t forget the blanket!
![Page 66: WFPS Spring 2014 Medical ConEd Field Session](https://reader034.fdocuments.us/reader034/viewer/2022042716/55a727971a28ab885e8b461e/html5/thumbnails/66.jpg)
