Different equipment. Different education and training. Different perspective, pressures and pitfalls.
10% of 999 calls are for children, 5% of these require resuscitation (1997).
Commonest cause of death >1 yr = TRAUMA.
“When required, response needs to prompt and effective.” Prevent 20 injury and gather appropriate information (MOI / NAI). (Fiona Jewkes)
Risk : Benefit : Cost Effective emotions
Early recognition and initial management:
‘BIG SICK & little sick’
How?Systematic approach & attention to detail!
PHPLS / APLS / PHECC / PEPP / PHTLS
Immediate / Primary survey / Resuscitation phase: ‘Simultaneous assessment, identification and
management of any immediate life-threatening problems, with ongoing assessment of the potential for developing other life-threatening complications.’
Secondary survey / Focussed review / Emergency treatment
Continuing assessment, care and stabilisation.
D DANGER (scene, self, patient) 4 DIMENSIONS: up / down, front / back, left / right & time
R RESPONSE(Patient, Help)
RELATION(MOI, SAMPLE)
ReassureReassess
Ac AIRWAY with C-SPINE ‘do airway think spine’Safe O2, maintainable / at risk (position / manoeuvres / adjuncts),
unmaintainable (secure / definitive)Effort (signs of WOB esp. RR with TV, recession), Efficacy (depth / AE / O2 / CO2), Effect. (HR / LOC / colour / hyponia / FiO2), Exhaustion‘twelve FLAPS’ – open / expanding PTx, flail, HTx. NGT
A&B on scene – good 1st principles
B BREATHING
C CIRCULATION Assess: clinical vs. measured (cough, movement, LOC,pulse, CFT, RR, temp. difference [creeping proximally], colour [pink, pale, mottled], urine vs. SaO2, BP, ETCO2, BD, lactate)
‘On the floor and four more’.
Manage: Controllable vs. uncontrollable haemorrhage: arrest & fluids.
C en-route
D DISABILITY DRUGS:
analgesia, & sedation
appropriate antibiotics
DON’T

Conclusion: Systematic approach
A combination of knowledge, skill and understanding is required to make the appropriate clinical judgement decisions.
However non-technical skills are also required to optimise patient outcome including: Anticipating and planning. Appropriate team leadership. Effective communication & sharing mental models. Maintaining situation awareness and utilising appropriate
personnel and resources. Calling for help early enough.
