Trauma season is upon us and as you all know, trauma is a significant risk factor for pulmonary complications. How can prone positioning help? Allison Varnum addresses prone positioning in trauma patients in our latest episode of Topics That Matter! https://lnkd.in/gsq39Gkz #trauma #traumaseason #pronepositioning #TurnMedical #PronovaO2

How do you think technology has transformed trauma care? In the latest episode of Write Medicine, Stephen Cohn, MD, and I dive into the detailed process of assessing trauma patients. Unlike TV portrayals where diagnoses like a ruptured spleen or herniation happen in seconds, real-life assessment involves a thorough process. If patients are stable and not immediately dying, CAT scans are often used to check for brain injuries, bone injuries, or injuries inside the chest cavity or abdomen.

March is Brain Injury Awareness month, and it's essential for NICA coaches and community members to be informed!💡 Concussions are serious injuries that require immediate medical attention. Recognizing the signs, such as confusion, forgetfulness, or changes in behavior, is crucial. If a concussion occurs during a race or practice, the athlete must be removed and receive prompt medical attention. Learn more about concussion care in youth sports with resources from the National Safety Council and Spooner Physical Therapy. 🧠 📸: Aaron Puttcamp Shimano #BrainInjuryAwareness #NICA #BrainInjuryAwareness

On World Trauma Day, we recognize the immense challenge that trauma poses, with 5 million lives lost annually due to both accidental and non-accidental trauma injury. Hemorrhage remains one of the leading causes of death, accounting for 35% of pre-hospital deaths and 40% of deaths within the first 24 hours after injury. Stopping massive bleeding quickly and effectively is a critical need in trauma care, yet there are limited solutions available.This is where our groundbreaking ClearPlasma™ technology comes in. By efficiently removing plasminogen, an important protein responsible for dissolving blood clots, ClearPlasma™ enhances the body's ability to form stable, life-saving clots. As shown in clinical trials, our approach helps significantly reduce bleeding and can potentially save countless lives in emergency situations. Join us in helping improve outcomes for trauma patients worldwide. #WorldTraumaDay #MedicalInnovation #MassiveBleeding #Trauma
