Facial Trauma (ALS)

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.

Mass Casualty Trauma Triage

Unfortunately, mass casualty incidents have become more frequent. Having an effective EMS mass casualty incident (MCI) protocol has become crucial. Join Dr. Robert Lowe in his review of "Mass Casualty Trauma Triage - Paradigms and Pitfalls," published by the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services, to provide a framework to consider when planning MCI response.

Pre-Hospital Fluid Resuscitation

Ensuring patients receive pre-hospital fluids can mean reduced mortality rates and better patient care. One of the main incidents first responders may respond to that would require administering fluids would be someone experiencing shock. This course explains the different kinds of shock, how to treat shock, and fluid resuscitation response.
