Primary Assessment - Objectives
• Rapid method for scene size-up
• Method for rapid identification of life threats
• Mechanism of injury or nature of illness
• Priority: ABCs and neck to knees
• Treatment of life threats as they are found

Scene Size-Up
Use appropriate infection control precautions.Control scene hazards.Determine mechanism of injury in trauma patients.
orDetermine nature of illness in medical patients.Determine number of casualties.Assess need for additional resources.
The Firefighters own safety comes first!

TRAUMA PATIENTTRAUMA PATIENT
• Consider mechanism of injury
• Rapid assessment and treatment of life threats while maintaining C-spine precautions if necessary
• Consider nature of illness
• Rapid assessment and treatment of life threats
• Examination can be tailored to patient’s signs and symptoms
MEDICAL PATIENTMEDICAL PATIENT

Examples (circumstances are everything):
• Fall • Motor vehicle collision • Assault
What physically injured the TRAUMA patient?
Mechanism of Injury
How severe are the injuries?• Highway collision vs. city street • Falls greater than 2 metres (6’) • Unrestrained vs. belted

Gather information from dispatch, patient, family, and bystanders.
Concentrate on the patient’s chief complaint.
Nature of IllnessWhat is the MEDICAL patient suffering from?
