Study Notes
Fractures and Violence
- Assault-related fractures are more common in males and young people due to their higher involvement in violent situations.
Nasopharyngeal Airways
- Nasopharyngeal airways are not recommended if a skull base fracture is suspected.
Mandibular Fractures
- Temporary stabilization of anterior mandibular fractures can be achieved using wires around stable teeth, reducing bleeding and supporting the mandible.
Emergency Airway
- When the airway cannot be secured by other means, an emergency surgical airway is necessary.
- Cricothyroidotomy or tracheostomy are surgical airway procedures.
Breathing and Ventilation
- Once the airway is secured, breathing and ventilation should be assessed using auscultation and chest radiographs.
- Respiratory rate should also be determined.
