trauma assessment
Emergency patient examination
Trauma assessment is the systematic evaluation of a patient who has suffered physical injury, typically following a standardized protocol to identify life-threatening conditions.
Emergency responders and trauma teams conduct primary and secondary surveys, checking airway, breathing, circulation, and neurological status before examining for specific injuries.
The paramedics completed their trauma assessment en route to the hospital.
