Activity Summary

Required reading for all learners: Implicit Bias impacts patient outcomes

Trauma textbooks describe how the kinematics behind traumatic injury result in probable injuries. However, these forces may also result in missed, mysterious and surprising injuries that challenge the emergency and critical care teams. This session shares real case examples of patients whose unusual clinical presentations after initial resuscitation led to the discovery of occult and sometimes very serious injuries.

Objectives

  • Correlate mechanism of injury with resulting injuries.
  • Discuss physiologic responses to severe injury and their clinical presentations.
  • Identify priorities of resuscitation for patients following significant injuries.
