Here’s the TLDR insight for in from our Director Si and Med Director Dr. Inia Raumati aka who has taken a rest from emergency room chaos to see what all the fuss is about.

Key takeaways;
• NEVR stop learning,
• Check the ego, qualifications don’t equal competence,
• Nothing beats real world experience,
• Standardisation should be a religion,
• More physicians and medics need to make this trip!

— Why do we keep someone warm after a traumatic injury?

Keeping a trauma casualty warm is not a comfort measure. It is a clinical one.

The body loses around 15% of its clotting factors for every degree of temperature drop. That means hypothermia directly impairs the body's ability to stop bleeding -- in any environment, not just cold ones. Combined with blood loss and the metabolic changes that follow, this creates what's known as the lethal triad: hypothermia, coagulopathy, and metabolic acidosis. Each component makes the others worse, and together they are extremely difficult to reverse.

Remove wet clothing whether from blood loss or environmental exposure. Insulate under, over, and around the casualty using a hypothermia blanket. Do it early, before temperature has already dropped.

— How do I prioritise when someone gets hurt?

Whether you're first on scene with one casualty or many, the priority order doesn't change: bleeding, breathing, burns, breaks.

Bleeding comes first every time. Uncontrolled bleeding is the most rapidly fatal and most preventable cause of death in trauma. Breathing issues come second. Burns and fractures follow.

The common trap is distraction injury -- a dramatic-looking fracture, bone visible through skin, that immediately draws attention away from a less visible bleed that's actually killing the person. Reacting to what looks worst instead of what is worst is how preventable deaths happen.

Slow down, do a systematic sweep, and work through the priority order deliberately.

Why am I so pumped by the concept TQ? Grab a brew, pull up a pew and relax.
🩸
Btw - I’m not about reinvention of things for the sake of it, this is genuinely a step up however.

See you at team.

— The Importance of rescue breaths on kids

For adults, cardiac arrest is almost always a heart problem so compression only CPR is recommended.

For children, it's almost always an airway problem (think choking, drowning, respiratory failure). This is where rescue. breaths become critically important.

Knowing the difference could be the difference.

The world seems a little tense right now…
🩸
Maybe that’s why there seems to be a plethora of genuinely dangerous and sh*tty medical advice being handed out by somewhat charismatic idiots and within little echo chambers.
🩸
The problem is, most of this is being done at the first aid level of training so little to no due diligence can be done by the unsuspecting who quickly become the ill informed.
🩸
These memes serve as a reference to some of the absolute classic bangers I’ve bumped into over the last few days.
🩸
Always question your source, just like any profession, not all providers are created equal or have your best intentions at hand.
🩸
Conduct due diligence appropriately…

Medical events don’t always happen in convenient and easily accessible areas.
🩸
So why are we setting students up for failure by not challenging them at the right level, including having them shift each other.
🩸
This teaches students the perspective of how difficult it can be to move someone - and how rough it can be to shift someone in an emergency.
🩸
Just one of the points of difference that our training hits.
🩸
Well done to all this who qualified in Auckland, Tauranga and Wellington today!
🩸
NZ is a better place.
