# Multiple Injury Management

Multiple injury management involves providing first aid to a casualty with more than one injury, which can complicate treatment and prioritisation.

**What is Multiple Injury Management?**

## Principles of Multiple Injury Management

1. Primary Assessment: Perform a primary survey to identify and treat life-threatening injuries first (DRSABCD).
2. Stabilise the Casualty: Immobilise fractures, control bleeding, and treat for shock.
3. Secondary Assessment: Conduct a thorough secondary survey to identify and treat additional injuries.
4. Prioritise Care: Treat the most severe injuries first, while continuously monitoring the casualty’s condition.
