Head to toe is a systematic examination of the body, specifically in trauma cases, trauma indicating some kind of significant mechanism of injury. For us, in sport, we quite often think of spinal injuries. We think of any type of contact collisions, with walls, with surfaces, and with other human beings.
04:35
The process is similar to looking for Easter eggs, but it's different. You're looking for this acronym that is common in EMS called dots or no dots. Dots, deformities, open innerness, tenderness, and swelling. As we work our way down the body, we, again, we we touch and we feel the mandible.
08:25
Head to toe is an evaluation of three body systems. Number 1, it is the muscle skeletal service, the integumentary system, and the nervous system. We're doing these 3 systems all in one package called ahead of the toe.
12:14
We take our hands on outside of ribs and we squeeze tightly to try to get any kind of crepitas or grinding. Then we will stop and listen to long sounds again. The moves we come down through the abdomen, and we're gonna palpate all of the board quadrants with tenderness and rebound tenderness.
16:16
When is it appropriate to evaluate the back? Sometimes, you need to do it immediately because you potentially have issues that you feel were impacting the back. You just can't forget it because the worst case scenario is that the trauma is in the back area, and everybody missed it.
20:16
If they're conscious, unconscious is what separates how fast you do it. Head to toe, you can you can take as much time as you want, as it takes to get the job done.
23:50
On a person who's conscious or that as well, not like as well. So I know when I do a rapid trauma, except when I when I have an athlete with trauma, the first thing I'll start telling myself is adrenaline, you are lying to me.
