Description
Trauma Resuscitation Symposium – Beyond ATLS
This one-day symposium uses a case-based learning approach to review the up-to- date Emergency Department management of major trauma patients.
The Trauma Resuscitation Symposium has evolved from our popular and highly rated Damage Control Resuscitation courses. The programme covers all aspects of primary assessment, resuscitation and immediate care and provides an opportunity for delegates to immerse themselves in a range of trauma patient presentations and make real-time critical decisions regarding trauma resuscitation.
Who is Trauma Resuscitation Symposium for?
Taught by consultants from the Cambridge Major Trauma Centre, the symposium is aimed at all those responsible for the immediate assessment and management of the severely injured patient and is suitable for all members of trauma teams. This includes Emergency Department nurses and Advanced Clinical Practitioners as well as Emergency Medicine, Anaesthetic and Surgical consultants and trainees.
What is covered on the day?
Delegates are presented with cases and invited, using audience participation technology, to make recommendations and decisions regarding priorities for care and interventions. Each option is then explored in interactive discussion.
The symposium incorporates:
- Traumatic Cardiac Arrest on arrival.
- Identifying and managing the shocked patient.
- Transfusion decision making and challenges.
- Implementing neuroprotective strategies.
- Damage control strategies
The Trauma Resuscitation Symposium reflects a distillation of trauma resuscitation challenges across the spectrum of age, injury and environment and their practical application to the Emergency Department practitioner.
