This week we have the privilege of welcoming Captain Andy Challen CSC.
Andy is an Advanced Trainee in Emergency Medicine and Intensive Care. He has a special interest in Trauma and Retrieval Medicine.
He brings his experience in Military and Civilian Practice to our MMHEM Teaching Program.
This is the Trauma talk you need to hear:
“Managing The Trauma Casualty – About Bloody Time”
Andy will discuss topics such as
- Damage Control Resuscitation,
- Haemorrhage Control,
- Hypotensive Resuscitation,
- TEG,
- Trauma Radiology,
- Trauma Systems.
If there's time Andy will also run some work shops on haemorrhage control, junctional bleeding and Foley catheter use in tamponade bleeding control, tourniquets.
I’m Very Excited.
We’re Very Excited.
You should all be Very Excited.
Some pre-Listening to get you in the mood:
This should get you thinking about concepts and practices. Maybe think back to a trauma resuscitation you were involved in or the last time the MTP was activated. Can you run through in your mind how you might apply these strategies or how you may change your approach in future?
