Discuss the assessment findings associated with traumatic asphyxia. Discuss the management of traumatic asphyxia. Differentiate between thoracic injuries based on the assessment and history. Value the implications of failing to initiate timely interventions to patients with thoracic trauma. Demonstrate a clinical assessment for a patient with suspected thoracic trauma. Demonstrate the following techniques of management for thoracic injuries: Needle decompression Fracture stabilization ECG monitoring Oxygenation and ventilation Activities/Resources: Use of auditory, visual, and kinesthetic aids to facilitate the student learning environment for the topic of instruction. Assessments: Scenario based training pertinent to topic of instruction, quiz, and exam (didactic and skills). Abdominal and Genitourinary Trauma Summary: Integrates assessment findings with principles of epidemiology and pathophysiology to formulate a field impression to implement a comprehensive treatment/disposition plan for an acutely injured Abdominal and Genitourinary Trauma patient. TARGET SKILLS: Recognition, pathophysiology, assessment, and management of: Blunt versus penetrating mechanisms Vaginal bleeding due to trauma Evisceration Sexual assault Impaled object Vascular injury Solid and hollow organ injuries Retroperitoneal injuries Injuries to the external genitalia Key Terminology: Blunt trauma Kehr sign Peritonitis Closed abdominal injury Mesentery Periumbilical Duodenum Open abdominal injury Pylorus evisceration Penetrating trauma Retroperitoneal space Hematuria Peritoneal Somatic pain Hemoperitoneum Peritoneum Visceral pain
