EMTP1131 — Traumatology Lecture
EMTP 1131 - Traumatology Lecture EMTP 1131 - Traumatology Lecture Description Management and treatment of traumatic injuries involving soft tissues, central nervous system, and musculoskeletal structures. Material included is based on the Prehospital Advanced Trauma Life Support Program by the National Association of EMTs, the training curriculum developed by the American Academy of Orthopedic Surgeons. This class is a “Flipped” classroom and students will watch lectures away from the classroom and take quizzes and exams. Quizzes and exams will be discussed in class and material that needs further attention will be taught by the instructor. Relate the importance of accurate, attentive scene observations and documentation to data by EMS providers to the success of injury prevention initiatives. Assist in the development, implementation, and evaluation of injury prevention programs Advocate the role of EMS providers in injury prevention Define energy and force as they relate to trauma Relate the laws of motion energy to the kinematics of trauma Relate the exponential change in kinetic energy as a result of increased speed to the potential for injury Given the description of a motor vehicle crash, use kinematics to predict the likely injury pattern for an unrestrained occupant. Associate the principles of energy exchange involved in a given situation to the pathophysiology of the head spine, thorax, and abdomen resulting from that exchange. Anticipate specific injuries and their
