About this document

Quick Guide: Spinal Cord Injury Care by Valeria Padilla Llorente is a document available to read on EtoBox.

A patient presented with severe polytrauma due to a pedestrian versus motor vehicle accident. The optimal approach is to administer tranexamic acid, perform mechanical ventilation with an orotracheal tube, insert a left chest drain, perform an erythrocytes transfusion, call neurosurgery, and send the patient to the operating room after placing IV peripheral catheters. The most likely diagnosis is not a priority as severe polytrauma resuscitation takes precedence.
