Medic refresher training today - a small group, great to go over some skills we/they don't use a lot to make sure they're still confident and competent. Makes so much difference teaching people who want to be there and are keen to learn. #thebasicsdonewell

🧵

Massive thanks to Matt Sztajnkrycer for his tweets (can we still call them that?!) from the Traumacare UK police stream today. We've RTd loads of them!

BWC shown at beginning, then straight into practical skills.

Pretty bandage doesn’t stop breathing.

Lesson plans are all timed. Follow at all sites. Guarantee effective training.

Quickfire scenarios

TQ self-application until pulse loss. Shows not really excruciating and see how tight they need to be.

Do jaw thrust on each other rather than manikin to feel on real person.

Manikin only for CPR

Jen Bampton Traumacare UK #TraumaCareConference discussing ELS (Module 2).

Scripted and relevant to frontline policing

Consent - no crime, injured, wants to leave. Need to obtain consent to render FA

Each last 10 mins. Instructor can pause, nudge. Fix in scenario.

Alex Kershaw Traumacare UK #TraumaCareConference discussing TST implementation

TST speeds up casualty management and time to rapid intervention.

Before TST, spend minutes assessing folks, 360 assessment.

Find everyone! People hide during terror event.

“Nesting site” - CCP

Alex Kershaw Traumacare UK #TraumaCareConference discussing TST implementation

Start casualty flow process within inner perimeter

Need to start nest and move casualties towards definitive care

Closes care gap until EMS can arrive

Once nest, medics transition to advanced care

Omar Traumacare UK #TraumaCareConference discussing developing meaningful training

Marginal differences making huge gains.

Accurate visual cues and realistic patterns of deterioration

Program intervention effect - if do this, do that. Eg, if get X mg ketamine, do this.

Sophie Traumacare UK #TraumaCareConference discussing developing meaningful training

Lose fine motor skills under stress.
Unable cut off clothes

Simulation can be quite stressful.
Can learn to mitigate

Bryony Dunne Traumacare UK #TraumaCareConference concluding developing meaningful training

Test TST vs MITT

37 patients. 11 required immediate LSI

TST much faster than MITT. Using MITT after TST reduces MITT time

TST 78% accurate, largely due to kids being overtriaged

Alex Kershaw Traumacare UK #TraumaCareConference discussing TST implementation

Alter and change scenarios to make role-specific.

In London, ARVs had 3500 firearms calls last year. Had more than 14000 medical calls.

Firearms officers can be first on scene to anything.
