EMTP1141 — Traumatology Lab
EMTP 1141 - Traumatology Lab EMTP 1141 - Traumatology Lab Description This course is taught in conjunction with EMTP 1131 . The skills portion of the PHTLS course listed in the EMTP 1131 will occur during this portion of Traumatology. Treatment for a variety of Trauma victims will be practiced. Simulated patients will be assessed and treated for their trauma injuries following the NW Regional Protocol guidelines and the PHTLS guidelines. Relate the importance of accurate, attentive scene observations and documentation to databy EMS providers to the success of injury prevention initiatives Assist in the development, implementation, and evaluation of injury preventionprograms 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 oftrauma 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 causes as related to interior and exterior vehicledamage Describe the function of vehicle occupant restraint systems. Describe the physics of penetrating injuries Relate the laws of motion and energy to mechani
