Bleeding & Shock Scenario Assessment

The document outlines a medical scenario involving a 16-year-old female who fell from a height of 12 feet and presents with signs of neurogenic shock. Key assessments include vital signs indicating bradycardia and shallow respirations, with treatment focusing on C-spine control and high flow oxygen. The document also emphasizes the importance of monitoring and aggressive oxygen therapy to prevent deterioration.

Bleeding and Shock #3

You have been dispatched to quarry to a 16 year old female who appears to have fell from a height of 12 feet to the rocky ground. Witnesses say she
attempted to ride her quad up the hill when the quad stalled and began to roll back, she tried to stop by hitting the brakes and flipped the quad. She
was not wearing a helmet. On arrival you find the pt laying supine on the ground, there are some small lacerations on her arms and legs all of which
have stopped bleeding. You also see that her hair is all matted together from dried blood, she is lying on the ground and you cannot tell how much
blood she lost as it has soaked into the ground. You find the pt to be dazed and confused (she is alert to person & place but not time or events) she
will only open her eyes when you speak to her, her respirations are rapid/shallow becoming irregular, her pulse is slow & very weak and her skin is
warm/dry/good color. Secondary Assessment reveals no movement in the arms or legs. She can feel you touching her shoulder but cannot move her
fingers or feet.

S – As above
A – Bees, Nuts
M – She has an epi-pen
P – Allergies
L – Lunch
E – As above

Complete Assessment:

Vital Signs 1st set 2nd set


GCS 14 15
Pulse 56, regular, weak, brachial only 48 weak, regular
Respirations 32 shallow 20 shallow, diaphragmatic
Blood Pressure 72/38 76/36 (no IV), 90/50 (if bolus given)
Skin Face appears pale, moist but extremities are same
warm and dry
Eyes PERL @ 3mm Same
SP02 No reading if you use the finger clip, 82% if Improves to 98% with high flow O2
they think to use the ear clip
Air Entry Clear but very quiet unchanged
3 Lead Sinus brad same
Blood Glucose 5.6 mmol/l same
Temperature 36.8 C

Tx – C-spine control, High flow oxygen. Dress the wound Immobilize. Position feet up. Field diagnosis – Neurogenic
Shock IV & Bolus. Pt will not deteriorate as long as they provide aggressive oxygen therapy and monitor the pt closely.
At no time will the patient take and OPA and an NPA should not be attempted based on the trauma to the head and she is
able to maintain her own airway. The patient will be able to answer questions regarding PMHx, meds and allergies once
her LOC improves (all Nil).

Teaching points –Discuss causes of neurogenic shock and signs and symptoms of same.
