Episode 69 - Resisting Traumatic Arrest w/Dr. Amanda Humphries

Pre-hospital resuscitation of the traumatic arrest patient is controversial, to say the least. Some evidence has shown our efforts to be futile. But are the studies skewed by inappropriate management and our resistance to act? When do we intervene, and when do we not? And how can we help improve these poor mortality rates? Join us as we discuss this important topic with Dr. Amanda Humphries, Flight Physician and EMS Fellow. We touch on determining medical versus traumatic arrest, prioritization of interventions, and special patient populations.
