39 Head Trauma

(30:04) Ron did PHTLS this week and covered head trauma. We talk about the Hatchet manuver for intubation, the Parkland forumula, doing a Head to toe in the vehicle, and the Tickles test for pedi trauma.

Listener Questions

Elias –
Our system received a grant from the state for a new AED/Cardiac Monitor and have a couple choices. Do you have any preference of brands? i know we’re looking at a Zoll device and a Lifepack device and they both seem very similar, though the lifepack seems more rugged. Have you had experience with either?

Also, what’s your thought of pre-hospital autopulse cpr devices? The zoll monitor comes with one and i’m not sure if that’s a boon or a curse.

Mentions:

TICLS – Tone, Interactibility, Consolability/color, Look and gaze, Speech/Cry.
