INTRODUCTION: Tertiary surveys aim to detect injuries missed in the initial assessment of trauma. We introduced a process by which the trauma nurse specialist performed a number of the tertiary surveys (NTSs) at our paediatric trauma centre.
METHODS: Data from the first six months following introduction of the NTS were compared to retrospective data from the six months prior to NTS implementation (pre-NTS), when trauma surveys were completed by medical staff.
RESULTS: Over the 12-month period, 130 children met the criteria for a tertiary survey. Pre-NTS, 57/62 eligible patients received a tertiary survey, compared to 61/68 during NTS (p=0.77). There were significantly more road traffic crash patients in the NTS group (p=0.008) but no significant differences by demographics, injury pattern, injury severity score or outcomes. New injuries were found in three patients pre-NTS compared to five patients during NTS (odds ratio 1.3 (95%CI 1.3-2.0, p=0.73)).
CONCLUSION: This study conservatively supports the hypothesis that, with training and support, a trauma nurse specialist can perform tertiary surveys as effectively as doctors. A larger study is required to confirm these findings.
