This video demonstrates the systematic approach to emergency trauma management, beginning with airway assessment using the jaw thrust maneuver and cervical spine immobilization, followed by breathing evaluation through tracheal deviation, percussion, and auscultation to identify tension pneumothorax (characterized by hyper-resonant sounds and decreased breath sounds), which is managed through needle decompression at the second intercostal space or fifth intercostal space, and definitive intercostal drainage tube placement within the triangle of safety, with subsequent assessment of external wounds using a log roll technique and consciousness evaluation via the Glasgow Coma Scale.

Added:[music] >> The first step in emergency management is airway assessment.
We are hearing [music] and strider breath sound in a patient, so there is an damaged airway.
Upon jaw thrust maneuver, [music] the strider sound is reduced and sound is normal.
We then we apply a cervical spine immobilization [music] to secure the airway.
>> [music] >> As we have secured the airways, next we need to manage the breathing abnormalities in the patient.
Let's have a closer look into the trachea.
There seems to be a deviation of the trachea towards [music] the left side.
Next, we're going to look into the chest region.
Finding any symmetrical abnormalities or any paradoxical movement present in the patient.
Since there is [music] no visible abnormalities in the patient, let's further look into the lungs through percussion and auscultation methods.
>> [music] >> As we have heard, there is a hyper-resonant sound on the right side of a patient.
It is due to uh trapping up of [music] air in the pleural cavity.
And then further up, we are going to auscultate the patient.
Upon auscultation, it seems [music] there is clearly a decreased breath sound in the right side.
All the signs and symptoms [music] we seen above are all a classical signs for tension pneumothorax.
For the management of the tension pneumothorax, we do a needle [music] decompression on lungs through the second intercostal space.
We can reach the second [music] intercostal space with a help of angle of Louis, which is a bump present [music] on the sternum.
And the insertion point of the needle is just above the third rib, so that we can avoid the neurovascular bundle present below the ribs.
If failure, we can [music] directly decompress at the fifth intercostal space in the anterior axillary line.
For a definitive management, we insert [music] an intercostal drainage tube in a triangle of safety.
And the borders for this include superiorly [music] the base of axilla, anteriorly the lateral edge of pectoralis major muscle, inferiorly the fifth intercostal space, and laterally the anterior edge of latissimus [music] dorsi muscle.
After managing the life-threatening condition and stabilizing the patient, we need to check [music] for external wound. But before checking, we apply a warm blanket over the patient to prevent a hypothermia.
Then, with the help of a team of five, we further proceed into a log roll procedure, where we check the patient thoroughly for any external wound or bleeding present.
Let's then check the level of consciousness of the patient by using GCS. [music] It's known as the Glasgow Coma Score.
It's based upon the eyes, verbal, [music] and motor response of the patient.
