Summary
Managing external haemorrhage is easy right?! Then why does haemorrhage remain a major cause of death from trauma worldwide? Ok, some of that is from internal sources, but….
No one should die from compressible external haemorrhage
With the right treatment applied in a timely fashion, the vast majority of these bleeds can be stopped. But with new advances like haemostatic agents, changing advice surrounding tourniquet use and practice changing evidence coming out of conflict zones can mean it’s difficult to remain current with the latest best practice.
So what options are available to us, how do we use them and what’s the evidence. Here’s the line-up for this months’ podcast:
- Haemorrhage control ladder
- Evidence based guidelines on haemorrhage control
- Direct pressure
- Enhanced pressure dressings
- Haemostatic agents and wound packing
- Tourniquets
- Case studies
As always we welcome feedback via the website or on Twitter and we look forward to your engagement.
Enjoy!
