Primary Trauma Survey Questions + Sample Questionnaire Template

The primary trauma survey is a survey template that is used in the initial assessment and the management of a trauma patient that enters a medical facility or a hospital. This survey template is created by trauma experts and can be used by a patient to fill in identifying information that can help medical personnel identify and treat potential life threatening injuries. This survey is based on the concepts of ABCDE, that is; airways, breathing, circulation, disability and exposure. With multiple survey questions that aid medical professionals to adjudge primary trauma and the course of treatment, this survey is a must-have for every hospital and medical facility that can be tweaked towards the nature of the trauma.
