Some more key takeaways from the World Trauma Symposium! Zaffer Qasim- Challenging dogma in Trauma resuscitation - Rethink trauma alphabet (ABC/MARCH) to CCAB (Critical Hemorrhage Control, Circulation, Airway, Breathing) emphasize and prioritize stopping and treating exsanguinating hemorrhage (Next ATLS will emphasize this). TQs, Pelvic Binders, Resuscitate before you Intubate, Lower induction doses for unstable trauma patients, Don’t hub the needle, lifesaving interventions before CPR, No pressors in trauma (although consider low dose vasopressin in end stage shock when vasodilation occurs because vasopressin is used up), Early calcium (but caution because too much is a bad thing as well). #ems #emt #paramedic #emergencymedicine
