Which of the following is an example of a BLUE trauma alert criterion related to trauma?

The criteria for a BLUE trauma alert involve situations where the mechanism of injury is less likely to lead to immediate life threat, but still requires careful evaluation and management. The example of a single long bone fracture caused by a motor vehicle collision (MVC) fits this criterion well.

In the context of trauma alerts, a long bone fracture, especially as a result of an MVC, indicates that there has been significant impact and potential force applied to the body. While it certainly merits assessment and possible intervention, a singular long bone fracture typically does not present an immediate life-threatening condition in the same urgent manner as some other types of injuries. This places it within the BLUE alert framework, which is a tier lower than more severe scenarios that would prompt higher alert levels.

Comparatively, the other options represent scenarios that may indicate a higher level of concern. Electrocution causing loss of consciousness can suggest a critical condition, while a non-GSW penetrating injury to the abdomen often indicates potential internal injury or organ damage. Severe facial trauma also poses the risk of airway compromise or significant hemorrhage, which would raise the alert level. Therefore, a single long bone fracture due to an MVC accurately exemplifies a BLUE trauma alert situation.
