#5 Top PFC Podcasts of 2023: Ukraine Update

This Podcast was from June of this year. This is Dennis, and today I'm joined by Anri, a Ukrainian medic who will share some lessons learned from the battlefield. Anri talks about how wound patterns change in urban versus rural areas, with urban areas having more trauma from shrapnel and secondary trauma from debris. He mentions the challenges medics face in treating these complex wounds, including fractures and extensive tissue damage caused by multiple waves of explosions. Anri also discusses the impact of seasonal variations and the difficulties in evacuation due to artillery shelling, long distances, and the use of unconventional methods by the enemy. He emphasizes the importance of adapting medical techniques, such as splinting and triage, to the unique conditions on the front lines. Anri also mentions the use of blood products, saline, and telemedicine for prolonged field care.
