The St.Emlyn’s Podcast Ep 278 - Trauma 2030 Highlights: Damage Control Resuscitation, Resuscitative Thoractomy and more.
Join Iain Beardsell and Hutch as they review key insights from the Trauma 2030 conference hosted by the Institute of Pre-Hospital Care, part of London's Air Ambulance.
The discussion highlights the emphasis on speed in damage control resuscitation, the ongoing debate on 'scoop and run' versus 'stay and play' approaches, and the nuanced use of resuscitative thoracotomy.
The episode delves into advanced therapies like ECMO, their expanding role in trauma care, and the importance of relentless self-evaluation in medical practice.
Discover how London's focused approach can provide broader lessons for trauma care and the potential for innovative treatments to become more widespread.
Look out for more podcasts from Trauma 2030 over the coming weeks, where we will talk about team leadership in pre-hospital teams, more on damage-control pre-hospital care, nuancing the management of traumatic cardiac arrest, the increasing use of ECMO, and the shocked trauma patient.
