The South Central Regional Trauma Advisory Council (SCRTAC) EMS staff is traveling throughout our region presenting the 2008-2009 SCRTAC Trauma Education Program (TEP).

 

This interactive session addresses many of the trauma care challenges that our prehospital and ED providers may encounter on any given day:

• Managing the Multi-Victim Incident
• Trauma Patient Assessment
• Airway Management
• Traumatic Head Injuries
• Hypovolemic Shock
• Triage and Transport Considerations

Our goal is for each prehospital provider to be invited to at least one of these sessions over the next six months. Hospitals of the SCRTAC have hosted several of these programs, and we hope this will continue into 2009.

 

If your hospital, EMS agency, fire department and/or county EMS association would like to host a SCRTAC TEP, please contact the SCRTAC EMS Coordinator Dan Williams at dan@scrtac.org.
