Injuries
  • Stab wounds to the neck can result in
  • -Vascular
  • -Neurologic
  • -Laryngotracheal and/or
  • -GI injuries

6
ED Management
  • Basic stabilization techniques
  • -ATLS Primary/Secondary surveys
  • -emphasis on exposure for other injuries
  • -screening x-rays (ex CXR)
  • -early airway management
  • Diagnostic workup of injury

7
Diagnostic work-up
  • Zone III angiography if stable
  • Zone I CXR, angiography, GI study (esophagoscopy
    vs contrast study) if stable
  • Zone II OR for exploration versus (if stable)
  • -studies of potential injuries angiogram,
    bronchoscopy, and GI study
  • -CT soft tissue neck
  • -clinical observation for signs/symptoms
  • All Zones if unstable may need OR

Summary
  • Review of case, performance of clinical
    management and team
  • Review of penetrating neck injury
  • -Zones of neck
  • -Basic trauma stabilization techniques
  • -Management of injuries based on location of
    wound/zone
