ABCDE - The approach to the
critically ill patient
DR. TALAT WASEEM
CHIEF OF SURGERY SHL
www.cmft.nhs.uk/undergrad
Objectives
•The rational of ABCDE
•The process of primary & secondary survey
•Recognition of life threatening events
•Treatment of life-threatening conditions
•Handover
www.cmft.nhs.uk/undergrad
Traditional medical approach
www.cmft.nhs.uk/undergrad
The ABCDE approach
Airway & oxygenation
Breathing &
ventilation
Circulation &
shock
management
Disability due to
neurological
deterioration
Exposure &
examination
www.cmft.nhs.uk/undergrad
Ask 6 questions
1.Are they conscious?
2.Do they have a patient airway?
3.Is their breathing adequate?
4.Is their circulation adequate?
5.Are they neurologically intact?
6.Is the rest of them ok?
If at any point the answer is NO then do something!
www.cmft.nhs.uk/undergrad
The principles
•Perform primary ABCDE survey (5 min)
•Instigate treatment for life threatening
conditions as you find them
•Reassess when any treatment is completed
•Perform more detailed secondary ABCDE
survey including investigations
•If condition deteriorates repeat primary
survey
www.cmft.nhs.uk/undergrad
The primary survey
•ABCDE assessment
•Treat life threatening conditions
•Rapid intervention including
–15L O
2 via a non-rebreathing mask
–IV access & fluid challenge
–specific treatment
•Re-assess after any intervention
www.cmft.nhs.uk/undergrad
The primary survey
•No longer than 5 min
•Repeated as necessary
•Get experienced help
•Delegate jobs
–1
st
person assess Airway, O
2 & Breathing
–2
nd
person assesses Circulation
–3
rd
person IV access & fluids
www.cmft.nhs.uk/undergrad
The secondary survey
•Performed when patient more stable
•Get a brief focused HPC & Hx
•More detailed examination of patient (ABCDE)
•Order investigations to aid diagnosis
•IF PATIENT DETERIORATES RETURN TO
PRIMARY SURVEY
www.cmft.nhs.uk/undergrad
Airway – interventions
(advanced practitioners)
•GET HELP!!!
•Nebulised adrenaline
for stridor
•LMA
•Intubation
•Cricothyroidotomy
–Needle or surgical
www.cmft.nhs.uk/undergrad
Once airway open...
•Give 15 litres of
oxygen to all patients
via a non-
rebreathing mask
•For COPD patients
re-assess after
primary survey: keep
SpO
2 90-93%
www.cmft.nhs.uk/undergrad
Breathing - assessment
•Look
–Rate (<10 or >20), symmetry, effort, SpO
2, colour
•Listen
–Taking: sentences, phrases, words
–Bilateral air entry, wheeze, silent chest other added
sounds
•Feel
–Central trachea, Percussion, expansion
www.cmft.nhs.uk/undergrad
Breathing - interventions
•Consider ventilation
with BVM + O
2 if RR < 8
•Sit upright if conscious
& SoB
•Specific treatment
–i.e.: β agonist for
wheeze; chest drain for
pneumothorax
www.cmft.nhs.uk/undergrad
Circulation - interventions
•Position supine with legs raised
–Caution if DiB
–Left lateral tilt in pregnancy
•IV access - 16G or larger x2
–+/- bloods if new cannula
•Fluid challenge
–colloid or crystalloid?
•ECG Monitoring
•Specific treatment
www.cmft.nhs.uk/undergrad
Disability - causes
•Inadequate perfusion of the brain
•Sedative side effects of drugs
BM
•Toxins and poisons
•CVA
ICP
www.cmft.nhs.uk/undergrad
Disability - interventions
•Optimise airway, breathing & circulation
•Treat underlying cause
–i.e.: naloxone for opiate toxicity
–Caution if reversing benzo’s
•Treat BM
–100ml of 10% dextrose (or 20ml of 50% dextrose)
•Control seizures
•Seek expert help for CVA or ICP
www.cmft.nhs.uk/undergrad
Exposure
•Remove clothes and examine head to toe;
front and back
–Haemorrhage (inc concealed), rashes, swelling etc
•Keep warm (unless post cardiac arrest)
•Maintain dignity
www.cmft.nhs.uk/undergrad
Secondary survey
•Repeat ABCDE in more detail
•History
•Order investigations
–ABG, CXR, 12 lead ECG, Specific bloods
•Management plan
•Referral
•Handover
www.cmft.nhs.uk/undergrad
Handover
•Grab their attention by telling
them the Situation
•Give them a little relevant
Background on what's happened
•Tell them your Assessment of the
patient
•Recommend to them what you
want the to do
www.cmft.nhs.uk/undergrad
Situation
•Check you are talking to the right person
•State your name & department
•The headline grabber
–“I think this patient is haemorrhaging internally”
www.cmft.nhs.uk/undergrad
Background
•Admission diagnosis and date of admission
•Relevant medical history
•Brief summary of treatment to date
www.cmft.nhs.uk/undergrad
Assessment
•Your assessment of the patient using the
ABCDE approach
www.cmft.nhs.uk/undergrad
Recommendation
•I would like you to...
•Determine the time scale
•Is there anything else I should do?
•Record the name and contact number of your
contact
www.cmft.nhs.uk/undergrad
Questions
?
www.cmft.nhs.uk/undergrad
Summary
•Assess ABCDE in turn
•Instigate treatments for life-threatening
problems as you find them
•Reassess following treatment
•If anything changes go back to A

CPR & Emergency Defibrillation
For OSCEs
Nick Smith
Head of Clinical Skills
www.cmft.nhs.uk/undergrad
Objectives
•To be fully aware of the new CPR guidelines
•To have knowledge of the new ALS guidelines
•To be aware of the pitfalls
www.cmft.nhs.uk/undergrad
The station
•Could just be CPR
•Could be just defibrillation
•Could be combined CPR with defib
•Maybe just you in the station or maybe an
assistant (plus an examiner)
