TY - CHAP M1 - Book, Section TI - Chapter 30. Wound Care A1 - Jones, Thomas R. A2 - Stone, C. Keith A2 - Humphries, Roger L. PY - 2011 T2 - CURRENT Diagnosis & Treatment Emergency Medicine, 7e AB - The “ABC's” of resuscitation must be addressed before wounds are evaluated. Open wounds are dramatic and often draw the attention of the emergency physician or resuscitation team away from more life-threatening injuries. It is rare that bleeding from even large tissue defects will immediately impact the patient's survival. Secure the airway, ensure adequate ventilation, and stabilize blood pressure prior to assessing wounds.
