Whether you operate in a small private clinic or a large chain hospitals, you can not evade providing emergency treatment, which demands a thorough understanding of all aspects of medicine, quick thinking, and decisive response. Although the nature of the emergency may be unknown, a methodical approach to examining each emergency patient is highly recommended, as it allows for early identification and stabilization of the problem. Medflix brings to you a club, Rapid Response, dedicated to discuss all possible emergencies that can present in an emergency room.

The Primary Survey is designed to assess and treat life-threatening injuries rapidly. The leading causes of death in trauma patients are airway obstruction, respiratory failure, hemorrhagic shock, and brain injury. Therefore, these are the areas targeted by the primary survey. The common acronym for performing the primary trauma survey is ABCDE, each letter representing an area of focus. Prof. Dr. Ashima Sharma, Head of Emergency Medicine and an esteemed ATLS Instructor, joins us on Medflix to provide us with a comprehensive step-wise guide to initial trauma assessment & appropriate management.
