A 58-year-old male, was brought in to the emergency department (ED) after a motor vehicle accident. He was found unresponsive at the scene. Upon arrival at the ED, his pupils were equal and reactive to light. He was making incomprehensible sounds and withdrew from painful stimuli. Use the Primary Survey (ABCDE’s of Trauma care) to discuss specifically what you plan to assess when caring for a client with this type of injury. Share at least one assessment for each letter. What are the immediate priorities in the management of a patient with severe traumatic brain injury (TBI)? Share a diagnostic procedure that is used with TBI. Include information about the frequency and support your response with rationale. Diagnostic testing revealed a subdural hematoma with a midline shift. He was intubated for airway protection and transported to the intensive care unit (ICU). Now that the client has transferred to the ICU, share more information on what to assess upon arrival to the unit including assessment areas from the Secondary Trauma Survey. The client’s blood pressure is elevated. What are the potential implications of this finding in a TBI patient, and how would you anticipate the hypertension being managed?
