  13. Well i follow systamatic ABCDE (PRIMARY SURVEY) approach when assessing my patients' prioritys' so breathing would come after airway . yes i do agree with the rest that after you take the patient's pulse, you can act like you are still taking the pulse but actually count the respirations. This way the patient doesn't know your taking his/her respirations (like the other response said, they will change their rate if they know they are being watched.) ABCDE Primary Survey Assume C-spine inujury immobilize c-spine with collar or sand bags Airway Assessment 1) Assess ability to speak 2) Dysphonia 3) LOC 4) Ability to breathe 5) Apnea 6) Noisy breathing 7) Respiratory distress 8) Extra sounds 9) Cyanosis 10) Choking sign 11) Look for causes of airway obstruction 12) Look inside mouth 13) Look for facial and neck trauma Jaw thrust to open airway. Suction secretions which may be obstructing airway. If airway compromised, secure with NP airway. Continously reassess airway. Breathing Assessment Assess respiratory rate Would obtain: O2 saturation, pulse oxymetry ABG CXR Look at: Mental status and for agitation Movement of chest (flail segments) Accessory muscle use Colour (cyanosis) Listen for: Sounds of airway obstruction, such as stridor Breath sounds Air entry, is it symmetrical Air escaping Palpate: Trachea (for shift) Chest wall for crepitus Subcutaneous emphysema Flail segments Sucking chest wounds Chest percussion If breathing is compromised, give nasal prongs, venture mask, bag-valve mask and ventilate. Circulation Assessment: Assess pulse rate and quality (strength) Obtain blood pressure and pulse pressure Assess capillary refill Skin colour Ask about urinary output estimation Stop any major external bleeding Insert 2 peripheral large bore IVs If difficult, obtain a central IV Disability Assessment Assess LOC by avpu: Alert Responds to Verbal stimuli Responds to pain Is Unresponsive Assess pupils for: Size Reactivity Extremity movement Exposure Assessment Expose patient entirely Keep patient warm Orders General - ask for vitals q5-15 minutes Do an EKG, FAST (U/S abdomen) Monitors (BP, pulse oximetry) Foley catheter NG tube Order: CBC, lytes, BUN, Cr, Glucose, Coags., Cross and Type, hCG, Tox screen, LFTs, Amylase http://www.medical-examination.org/abc-primary-survey/
