Course/Module description:
The course is at the end of the students’ final year just before their main examinations and lasts one or two weeks. Number of participants range from 150 to 180 divided into 6 groups. The course starts with pre-test self-assessment just as in ATLS and continues with a timetable which illustrates how, with repetition, reinforcement and practical work that requires hands on student practice, paramedics, local clinicians and national experts in disaster management are able to cover essential aspects of pre-hospital care, trauma care by body systems and teach practical skills and procedures. Key features of the timetable include group teaching where students evaluate real Trauma cases, their clinical, laboratory and radiological results and discuss management decisions and pitfalls; and, a drill, on the last day of the course, in a mass casualty event. At least three days of training in the animal laboratory allows each student to learn to perform, under supervision, common life-saving procedures in Trauma such as chest tube insertion, surgical airway management and venous access and to run through resuscitation algorithms. The mass casualty drill may be in a response to a natural disaster or an incident arising from an attack, whether a blast, chemical attack, biological or nuclear, and is conducted in cooperation with the staff of Hadassah Medical Center Trauma Unit in Jerusalem, pre-hospital staff, paramedics, medical air force corps and the police.
Course/Module aims:
This Trauma Ccourse provides the program participant with an overview
of the purpose and concepts of immediate management of the injured patient and a basicunderstanding
of the fundamental principles of trauma care, including:
1. Rapid, accurate, and physiologic assessment of the patient’s condition.
2. Resuscitation, stabilization, and monitoring of the patient, according to priority.
3. Preparation for the patient’s interhospital transfer, if the patient’s needs exceed the facility’s capabilities.
4. Introduction of concepts of injury prevention strategies.
Learning outcomes - On successful completion of this module, students should be able to:
Upon completion of this program, the participant will be able to describe the principles of early care in the
multiply injured patient. Specifically, the participant will be able to:
1. Describe the fundamental principles of initial assessment and management.
2. Identify the correct sequence of priorities used in assessing the multiply injured patient.
3. Describe guidelines and techniques used in the initial resuscitation and definitive-care phases
when treating the multiply injured patient.
4. Identify how the patient’s medical history and the mechanism of injury contribute to the
identification of injuries.
5. Identify the concepts related to teamwork in caring for the injured patient.
6. Describe strategies for injury prevention.
