Motor vehicle accidents are some of the most common EMS calls throughout the country. When responding, there are many factors you must keep in mind, while quickly assessing the situation. This training collection will examine priorities and considerations for patient care during extrication, as well as some common trauma injuries you may encounter (such as TBI, crush injuries, and shock). Rommie Duckworth and Christopher McLaughlin will discuss how to care for these patients and considerations for coordinating delivery of care during extrication.
Trauma is a part of the job and in this microlearning collection we will discuss blast injuries, treatment for crashing patients, how inconsistency in triage models may cause confusion in a mutual aid situation and well as other types of trauma emergencies and what to do.
