How to prioritize patients based on severity and survival chances
Primary survey (ABCDE approach) with simultaneous resuscitation principles
Airway management, including jaw thrust, chin lift, nasopharyngeal & oropharyngeal airways
Indications for endotracheal intubation and difficult airway assessment (LEMON mnemonic)
Surgical airway procedures: Needle cricothyroidotomy, cricothorotomy, and emergency tracheostomy
Breathing & ventilation: High flow oxygen, chest injuries, and ventilatory support
Circulation & haemorrhage control, including fluid management, massive transfusion protocol, permissive hypotension, and Tranexamic acid use
Disability assessment: Glasgow Coma Scale (GCS) scoring and pupil reactivity
Environmental exposure control and trauma patient handover (MIST & AMPL mnemonics)
