When it comes to crush injuries, the more serious injuries are sometimes the ones that are not visible. What is happening inside the body can have more of a life-threatening effect on the patient than the crush injury itself. As EMS clinicians, it is imperative to be aware of all aspects of crush injuries incurred by adults and pediatric patients, to see how these incidents affect them inside and out.

The human face is often the first thing you recognize when meeting someone. When there is a disfiguring injury, it is difficult to see. As first responders, we must overcome that difficulty and put aside the shock and start to assess your patient. In this course, we'll discuss facial anatomy and physiology, how to anticipate injuries by recognizing the mechanism of injury, and hidden associated injuries and hidden bleeding. You'll get practice in setting priorities in patient care when facial injury is involved and anticipating changes in your patient's condition during treatment and transport will make a difference in your patient's outcome.
