That's old school ohwaddafook. 5th Edition has changed the protocol you reference. The radio call comes after the primary assessment now, so the video had that correct. Should establish AA&O earlier than the video suggests to insure your injured guest has LOR to respond to adequately to your questions, certainly in advance of vitals being taken (this was more than establishing circulation).
Jim Murphy is right -- the "qualitative pulse check" for C was edited in from her subsequent secondary survey, so yep, Ais was looking at her watch. And the MOI certainly suggests that a spine check should be done. I do appreciate the comments, they're grist for Version II.
Yeah, that occurred to me too. I might not be too strict about it for a boo-boo wrist, but with that size jump, the MOI definitely calls for it! Our incident reports also added GCS this year, but even the nurses on the patrol just use AVPU. And thanks for both the kudo and the constructive crit. Definitely should reshoot this if we can get time.
Thats wrong, Secondary assessment should be done immediately after the chief complaint and the primary assessment is done. If you have a patient with a broken arm and you call in for your equipment, then lets say your doing your secondary assessment and it turn out she has a leg injury that was masked by the arm pain. All of a sudden you have to make another radio call and spend longer than you need on the mountain. Maybe a bad example but do secondary full body assessments including SAMPLE immediately after the Chief Complaint and the Primary Assessment
