In this scenario, learners are faced with a 40-year-old male who presents after MVA. They must begin assessment and treatment in the back of the ambulance while the patient is on a stretcher with a C collar in place. The patient has blood on his clothes and is screaming in pain. If learners do not perform needed interventions and critical actions, the patient will go into cardiac arrest. However, the learner will have a second chance to fix critical actions and possibly move on, otherwise, the patient remains in PEA arrest and will die.

Learning Objectives

– Perform focused primary and secondary survey, stopping to correct areas that need correcting
– In a timely manner, perform life saving interventions, needle decompression, and hemorrhage control
– Demonstrate effective communication to entire team using a step by step approach to trauma
