The purpose of this article is to discuss 'best practice' regarding the management of a trauma victim's upper airway in a remote region of Papua New Guinea (PNG). This article has been written with the trauma patient in mind; however, much of the information would be equally relevant to the acute and chronically ill patient. Therefore the management described should be of use to aid post orderlies, community health workers, nurses and doctors alike who work or patrol in remote regions of PNG. The article is designed to take the reader through a step by step approach. Commentaries to further clarify or expand the text are placed at the end of the article under specific addendum headings, so as not to disrupt the main flow of the subject matter. In addition to upper airway management, this article also details 'ideal' emergency trauma equipment and drug requirements for bush use.
本文旨在探讨巴布亚新几内亚(PNG)偏远地区创伤受害者上呼吸道管理的“最佳实践”。本文撰写时考虑到了创伤患者;然而,许多信息对急症和慢性病患者同样适用。因此,所描述的管理方法应对在PNG偏远地区工作或巡逻的助理护理员、社区卫生工作者、护士和医生有所帮助。本文旨在引导读者逐步了解相关方法。为进一步澄清或扩展文本的注释置于文章末尾的特定附录标题下,以免扰乱主题的主要脉络。除了上呼吸道管理,本文还详细介绍了适合丛林使用的“理想”紧急创伤设备和药品需求。
