cause of exsanguination and death
• The major cause of exsanguination and death is a penetrating wound of the abdomen or central chest
• access to control haemorrhage is not possible.

shockIn patients with missile wounds, shock comes from:• acute blood loss;• neurogenic shock is surprisingly unimportant.

Bleeding
• If a blood vessel can be seen direct control may be obtained manually {A dressing or any available material can be packed into a wound}
• or with artery forceps• Blind clamping must never be attempted
• Elevation of the wounded part will reduce venous bleeding.
![Page 6: Circulation & Triage Dr.AbdulWAHID M Salih Ph.D. Surgery.](https://reader031.fdocuments.in/reader031/viewer/2022031915/56649e0d5503460f94af729c/html5/thumbnails/6.jpg)
Haemostasis.• followed by a more bulky dressing and• finally a firm elastic bandage, to apply even
pressure to effect
![Page 7: Circulation & Triage Dr.AbdulWAHID M Salih Ph.D. Surgery.](https://reader031.fdocuments.in/reader031/viewer/2022031915/56649e0d5503460f94af729c/html5/thumbnails/7.jpg)
dressing should not be removedOnce a wound has been packed and bleedinghas been arrested:the dressing should not be removed until the1. patient has been resuscitated 2. in the operating theatre, with3. blood ready for transfusion if available.• Resultant bleeding can be torrential and difficult to
control.
![Page 8: Circulation & Triage Dr.AbdulWAHID M Salih Ph.D. Surgery.](https://reader031.fdocuments.in/reader031/viewer/2022031915/56649e0d5503460f94af729c/html5/thumbnails/8.jpg)
A tourniquet
• is rarely required a tourniquet• should only be applied as a last resort• it can save life but it• also endangers a limb,• it is correctly applied• released at regular hourly intervals for several
minutes
![Page 9: Circulation & Triage Dr.AbdulWAHID M Salih Ph.D. Surgery.](https://reader031.fdocuments.in/reader031/viewer/2022031915/56649e0d5503460f94af729c/html5/thumbnails/9.jpg)
Failure to respond• Internal Bleeding: urgent operation to secure the bleeding source is
part of the resuscitation process.• Once bleeding has been controlled, the fluid and
blood replacement should improve the patient’s condition.
![Page 10: Circulation & Triage Dr.AbdulWAHID M Salih Ph.D. Surgery.](https://reader031.fdocuments.in/reader031/viewer/2022031915/56649e0d5503460f94af729c/html5/thumbnails/10.jpg)
Internal haemorrhage• cannot be controlled without surgery, • have a top priority for evacuation.
![Page 11: Circulation & Triage Dr.AbdulWAHID M Salih Ph.D. Surgery.](https://reader031.fdocuments.in/reader031/viewer/2022031915/56649e0d5503460f94af729c/html5/thumbnails/11.jpg)
OBJECTIVE OF RESUSCITATION
• To restore circulating blood volume and intracellular fluid;
• To restore normal blood flow and tissue perfusion;
• To attain a urinary output of 30-50 ml/h • Without overloading the lungs.
![Page 12: Circulation & Triage Dr.AbdulWAHID M Salih Ph.D. Surgery.](https://reader031.fdocuments.in/reader031/viewer/2022031915/56649e0d5503460f94af729c/html5/thumbnails/12.jpg)
A urinary catheter• to monitor the response clinically by observing
urinary output.

FLUID REPLACEMENT
• several widebore intravenous lines • fluid pumped in rapidly • Balanced electrolyte solution, such as
Hartmann’s or Ringer Lactate, • begin with 2,000 ml of Hartmann’s in 15-30
minutes, together with a plasma expander, either 500 ml of Dextran 70 • or one litre of Haemaccel or similar gelatine
solution.

In any 24-hour period.• Not more than two litres of Haemaccel• or one litre of Dextran 70 should be given in any
24-hour period.• oxygen

Blood for transfusion• Blood for transfusion is often difficult to obtain
because of the religious or cultural restrictions in many countries
• The use of blood should be restricted to vital needs and to patients with a good chance of survival. treated with iron, folic acid and adequate food
![Page 17: Circulation & Triage Dr.AbdulWAHID M Salih Ph.D. Surgery.](https://reader031.fdocuments.in/reader031/viewer/2022031915/56649e0d5503460f94af729c/html5/thumbnails/17.jpg)
BLOOD• immediately for grouping and crossmatching.• moribund exsanguinated patients may rapidly be
given group O blood together with Hartmann’s solution, as the threat of death outweighs the potential
morbidity from transfusion reactions. Type-specific whole blood should be available in
ten minutes, and crossmatched blood in 30-40 minutes.
![Page 18: Circulation & Triage Dr.AbdulWAHID M Salih Ph.D. Surgery.](https://reader031.fdocuments.in/reader031/viewer/2022031915/56649e0d5503460f94af729c/html5/thumbnails/18.jpg)
Every fourth pack of bloodIdeally, should be supplemented• with one bottle of plasma,• one ampoule of sodium bicarbonate• and one ampouleof calcium chloride (10 g).

Triage
• French term
• It is the process of categorizing patients according to the degree of severity of injury
• priorities can be established in order to use the
available facilities most efficiently for the
evacuation and care of the wounded.
![Page 20: Circulation & Triage Dr.AbdulWAHID M Salih Ph.D. Surgery.](https://reader031.fdocuments.in/reader031/viewer/2022031915/56649e0d5503460f94af729c/html5/thumbnails/20.jpg)
Triage• Triage can take place anywhere along the line of
evacuationof the casualty, from the point of wounding to the hospital where definitive treatment is to take place.
![Page 21: Circulation & Triage Dr.AbdulWAHID M Salih Ph.D. Surgery.](https://reader031.fdocuments.in/reader031/viewer/2022031915/56649e0d5503460f94af729c/html5/thumbnails/21.jpg)
triage• The aim in a mass casualty situation is to do the
best for the most.
![Page 22: Circulation & Triage Dr.AbdulWAHID M Salih Ph.D. Surgery.](https://reader031.fdocuments.in/reader031/viewer/2022031915/56649e0d5503460f94af729c/html5/thumbnails/22.jpg)
The aim of triage
is to categorize the wounded on the basis of:
• the severity of injury,• the need for treatment,• the possibility of good quality survival.
![Page 23: Circulation & Triage Dr.AbdulWAHID M Salih Ph.D. Surgery.](https://reader031.fdocuments.in/reader031/viewer/2022031915/56649e0d5503460f94af729c/html5/thumbnails/23.jpg)
EMERGENCY PLAN FOR MASS CASUALTIES
• The sudden arrival of large numbers of casualties • Prior planning prevents poor performance
![Page 24: Circulation & Triage Dr.AbdulWAHID M Salih Ph.D. Surgery.](https://reader031.fdocuments.in/reader031/viewer/2022031915/56649e0d5503460f94af729c/html5/thumbnails/24.jpg)
The factors which affect the triage
• the number and nature of the wounded,• their condition,• the facilities • personnel available to treat them,• the lines of evacuation• duration of transportation.
![Page 25: Circulation & Triage Dr.AbdulWAHID M Salih Ph.D. Surgery.](https://reader031.fdocuments.in/reader031/viewer/2022031915/56649e0d5503460f94af729c/html5/thumbnails/25.jpg)
consent of the family• amputations and laparotomies can only be
performed with the consent of the family of the patient.
• Adaptation to the cultural, social and geographic context is essential.
![Page 26: Circulation & Triage Dr.AbdulWAHID M Salih Ph.D. Surgery.](https://reader031.fdocuments.in/reader031/viewer/2022031915/56649e0d5503460f94af729c/html5/thumbnails/26.jpg)
most experienced person
• triage should be done by the most experienced person
• willing and able to take on the responsibility.• The person performing the triage should not treat
the patients.
![Page 27: Circulation & Triage Dr.AbdulWAHID M Salih Ph.D. Surgery.](https://reader031.fdocuments.in/reader031/viewer/2022031915/56649e0d5503460f94af729c/html5/thumbnails/27.jpg)
This person will decide• which patients need immediate resuscitation;• which patients require resuscitation and immediate
surgery as part of the resuscitation process;• which patients will tolerate some delay before
receiving surgical attention• which patients have such small wounds that they
can be managed by self-help or simple treatment and dressings
![Page 28: Circulation & Triage Dr.AbdulWAHID M Salih Ph.D. Surgery.](https://reader031.fdocuments.in/reader031/viewer/2022031915/56649e0d5503460f94af729c/html5/thumbnails/28.jpg)
severe wounds• which patients have such that death is inevitable (for example, severe head or spinal injuries, severe
multiple injuries, and burns of more than 60%)patients should be rapidly segregated from other
groups,– these patients and the deadshould be removed from the triage area;
![Page 29: Circulation & Triage Dr.AbdulWAHID M Salih Ph.D. Surgery.](https://reader031.fdocuments.in/reader031/viewer/2022031915/56649e0d5503460f94af729c/html5/thumbnails/29.jpg)
Category I – serious wounds resuscitation and immediate surgery
• a good chance of recovery.• abdominal or thoracic injuries or wounds of
peripheral blood vessels.
![Page 30: Circulation & Triage Dr.AbdulWAHID M Salih Ph.D. Surgery.](https://reader031.fdocuments.in/reader031/viewer/2022031915/56649e0d5503460f94af729c/html5/thumbnails/30.jpg)
Category II – second priority wounds – can wait for surgery
• Those patients who require surgery but not on an urgent basis
• majority of casualties : most compound fractures and penetrating head injuries for example.
![Page 31: Circulation & Triage Dr.AbdulWAHID M Salih Ph.D. Surgery.](https://reader031.fdocuments.in/reader031/viewer/2022031915/56649e0d5503460f94af729c/html5/thumbnails/31.jpg)
Category III – superficial wounds – ambulatory management
• Those patients who do not require hospitalisation and/or surgery
• wounds are minor • superficial wounds managed under local anaesthesia in the emergency room.
![Page 32: Circulation & Triage Dr.AbdulWAHID M Salih Ph.D. Surgery.](https://reader031.fdocuments.in/reader031/viewer/2022031915/56649e0d5503460f94af729c/html5/thumbnails/32.jpg)
Category IV – severe wounds – supportive treatment
• so severely injured that they are likely to die • very poor quality of survival. • multiple major wounds whose management could
be considered wasteful of scarce resources including operative time and blood.
![Page 33: Circulation & Triage Dr.AbdulWAHID M Salih Ph.D. Surgery.](https://reader031.fdocuments.in/reader031/viewer/2022031915/56649e0d5503460f94af729c/html5/thumbnails/33.jpg)
Hardest part of triage• to accept that patients only receive analgesics• removed to a quiet place where they can die in
comfort and with dignity.
![Page 34: Circulation & Triage Dr.AbdulWAHID M Salih Ph.D. Surgery.](https://reader031.fdocuments.in/reader031/viewer/2022031915/56649e0d5503460f94af729c/html5/thumbnails/34.jpg)
Triage decisions must be respected• Staff members, relatives and commanders might
try to influence the triage decisions• decisions should be made on purely medical
grounds. • Discussions should wait until after the emergencyphase is over.
![Page 35: Circulation & Triage Dr.AbdulWAHID M Salih Ph.D. Surgery.](https://reader031.fdocuments.in/reader031/viewer/2022031915/56649e0d5503460f94af729c/html5/thumbnails/35.jpg)
Security• is a major concern, and must be ensured for
patients and staff• Security must be ensured by having guards at the gate of the hospital• All weapons must be left outside
