Which of the following is the most critical for patients with major traumatic injuries?
  1. Rapid IV access and fluid administration
  2. Rapid delivery to trauma surgery
  3. Immediate placement of advanced airway
  4. Aggressive C-spine management
Explanation
Answer: B- Multiple studies have shown that delivery of the critical trauma patient to a trauma surgeon as quickly as possible reduces overall morbidity and mortality associated with traumatic events.

Though other interventions should be taken by the paramedic to stabilize the patient, advanced life support techniques can be performed on the way to the hospital.
