Prolonged Field Care Podcast 141: Facial Trauma

Welcome back to the PFC Podcast. This is Dennis, and today I'm joined by my friend Burjor. We discuss facial trauma and the importance of hemorrhage control in austere environments. Burjor shares his expertise in maxillofacial surgery and emphasizes the need to address bleeding and fluid loss in patients with scalp lacerations. He also provides insights on managing injuries in different areas of the face, such as the cheek, lip, and jaw, including techniques like counter pressure and balloon tamponade. We touch on the significance of proper airway management and the challenges of diagnosing and treating mid-face fractures. Overall, it's an informative conversation aimed at helping medical practitioners deal with facial trauma in challenging settings.
