Generally for surgical patients you would say “I would start with ATLS protocol” and ensure the patient is stable, I’ll do a post on ATLS soon. But generally you can say you’d look for any signs of injury or a deformity etc in Exposure. If you get a case for a patient who is already on a ward post-surgery then you can start by talking about A to E assessment
Very well defined 👍
Thank you! 💖
Suppose we are seeing a fracture case (interview point of view), should we do local examination in exposure ? And take relevant history after Abcde ?
