with Solutions
What is the definition of NHS Pathways - -NHS Pathways does not diagnose,
it rules out, once a point is reached where it can no longer rule it out, the
assessment ends and the person is referred to the relevant level of care.
- Neonate - -Just born - one hour old
- Infant - -1 hour - 12 months
- Toddler - -1 - years
- Child - -5 - 16 years

- What is Module 0? - -It is used by Call Handlers
It immediately identifies threat to life
It is where basic but vital care advice is collected
It defines whether it is Trauma or Non-Trauma related
- What is Module 1? - -It is used by Call Handlers
It is a large database of age and gender specific pathways
It is where extensive care advice is available
- What is Module 2? - -It is used by clinicians
It is a smaller database of age and gender specific pathways
It picks up where the Call Handler left off validating the call
It has a bank of home care advice
- Illness vs Injury - -If the injury is older than 7 days NHS Pathways will
assess as an illness. This is due to after effects, such as risk of infection.
- Injury - -Mechanical - The energy associated with movement e.g., Broken
bone due to car crash
Thermal - Heat damage from Boiling Water e.g., Burn from Boiling Water/Sun
Lamp
Electrical - Electrical Source (Electrocution) e.g., Electrocution from live wires
Chemical - Chemical burn to the skin e.g., Acid burn to the skin
- Illness - -Genetics = Haemophilia - genetic illness
Ageing = Dementia - Arthritis - Age Illness
Infection = Bacteria - Virus - Infection
, Lifestyle = Drinking - Smoking - Lifestyle illness
- Blunt Injury - -Where the skin or any other body surface has not been
broken
- Penetrating Injury - -Where the skin or any other body surface has been

- Significant Blood Loss - -Adults = 1 mug - 2 hours
Child = 1/2 mug, 30 minutes
Toddlers = 1/4 mug, 30 minutes
Infants = Egg cup, 30 minutes
- Major Blood Loss - -Adults = 2 mugs, 2 hours
Child = 1 mug, 30 minutes
Toddler = 1/2 mug, 30 minutes
Infant = 1/4, 30 minutes
- Compensation - -The term compensation means the maintenance of blood
pressure despite blood loss. If only a small amount of blood is lost, either
internally or externally, the body needs to do very little in order to
compensate to make up for the loss. However, if a larger amount is lost, the
body will need to do more in order to try to ensure adequate circulation
around the body. This may include the diversion of blood away from the skin
to major organs, such as the brain.
- What is Shock? - -A life threatening condition that occurs when
cardiovascular system fails for some reason, and is unable to circulate
adequate oxygen around the body.
- Other Symptoms - -This Pathway is used when there is no other symptom
specific pathway that can be used.
- Triage Not Possible - -For situations where a person was completely
unable to answer your questions.
- Triage Not Possible Options - -Contact is about a dead or dying person
Contact is a child and unable to answer questions
Contact is a remote observer
Person is on fire
Other
- Transfer to Clinician - -For situations where communication was difficult
but not necessarily impossible.
- Transfer to a Clinician options - -Caller refuses disposition (specify)
