In a study of 581 trauma patients with systolic blood pressures <90 mmHg presenting to 19 US trauma centers, IO access in the ED was 93% successful whereas peripheral IV access only 67%. IV access was 10% less successful in females, but sex didn’t matter in IO success rates. Overall, in patients arriving without access, placing an IO as the first access attempt sped up the resuscitation by 2 minutes.

Uncontrolled bleeding is the leading cause of preventable death from trauma. The American Red Cross First Aid for Severe Trauma (FAST) program provides participants with the knowledge and skills they need to respond to an emergency involving life-threatening bleeding, including how to: • Recognize a life-threatening bleeding emergency. • Ensure safety and communicate effectively in an emergency. • Control life-threatening bleeding using direct pressure, a tourniquet, or both. The program is designed to enhance participants’ ability to take decisive, lifesaving action to assist a person with a traumatic injury and life-threatening bleeding until professional responders arrive! #stopthebleed #tccc #tourniquet #tecc #medic #trauma #firstaid #ifak #ems #bleedingcontrol #paramedic #tacmed #police #firstresponders #traumakit #k #medical #emt #beprepared #firstaidkit #stopthebleeding #tacticalmedicine #training #edc #northamericanrescue #combatmedic #savealife #firstresponder #aph #torniquete

Violence in #Mali has increased the surgical needs among women and children.  At the end of 2023, we renovated the surgical department at Niono Hospital, where we've performed over 200 operations for violent and accidental trauma and 275 c-sections so far. Over the last four months, 69 percent of all operations carried out have been on women and children.  How we’re continuing to respond: https://lnkd.in/ef3F2FbE
