This episode is a wrap up covering the highlights from the Tactical Trauma international conference on pre-hospital critical care and trauma.

Takeaways include Michael Lauria’s discussion on the preoccupation with protocols and guidelines. 2:45 – Three basic concepts include speed, simplicity, and coordination of care. Tactical medicine boils down to how efficiently one can perform these three tasks using evidence based medicine. Take the lessons learned from the military medicine, and a lot of them can be applied to civilian EMS and in-hospital care. 5:30 – One thing to add, is being able to do the basics very well. These basic skills will lay the foundation for new advanced technologies and interventions. 7:00 – Discussion on Mike Klumpner’s talk on medical best practices

This episode is a wrap up covering the highlights from the Tactical Trauma international conference on pre-hospital critical care and trauma. This conference emphasizes tactical medicine, with a panel of experts speaking throughout the 2 days.   0:10 - Introduction of the conference 0:45 – Introduction of the expert panel 1:25 – Reflecting on the Las Vegas Shooting. Description of the original triage station which was not setup for an MCI with major trauma. Severely injured patients were kept on scene for approximately 45 minutes, due to unknown location of gunshots being fired. 2:45 – A big takeaway from this session is to assign a civilian to each patient, as many are willing to help. This way there is someone watching every patient who could report on their overall status (ie. Doing well vs deteriorating), freeing up medically trained resources for the most critical patients. Included in this talk was a discussion in how to involve and empower bystanders, as the first responders may not be on scene within

As EMS Medical Directors we value the incorporation of best practice and evidence-based medicine into delivering high quality prehospital care. The Statewide protocols present a historic opportunity for us to collectively take our game to the next level.  We have worked hard to make these videos worth your while. We value your time as an EMS provider and using simulation videos as scaffolding to help bridge your knowledge of the new protocols can be invaluable.  There is, however, no substitute for reviewing the new protocols you will be exercising in depth. It is challenging to produce something for a wide range of providers from new CFRs and new EMS physicians to experienced providers; nevertheless BLS is the keystone of all of our practice and we set out to give it the attention it deserves. New providers will notice language and terms that may be challenging but understandable from the context or definitions provided within. We encourage providers who have participated in our educational initiatives in
