Description
Advanced Trauma Management for the emergency clinician is a 2-day course that provides updates, best practices, and new pathways & protocols regarding the acute care of major trauma patients, from Emergency Department arrival through hospital admission/discharge. The course will focus on advanced, state of-the-art clinical knowledge and skills, with an emphasis on teamwork, non-technical skills, and best practices in ED management.
The goal of this advanced trauma management course is to prepare emergency clinicians, who already have a strong base in trauma care, to quickly and accurately assess and provide high-quality care for trauma patients. Emphasis will be on optimizing outcomes for patients presenting with high-risk traumatic injuries.
Learning Objectives
- Articulate best practices for treating trauma within special patient populations such as hypotensive, geriatric, pediatric, and pregnant patients.
- Discuss how to rapidly evaluate trauma patients with techniques such as point-of-care ultrasound.
- Identify clinical red flags, such as population-specific vital sign abnormalities, injury mechanisms, or physical exam findings of major vascular injury, to anticipate the patient’s clinical course and care needs.
- Recognize how to incorporate trauma management practices such as Advanced Trauma Life Support (ATLS), anticoagulant reversal, and selection of imaging studies, in their practice.
