Is there any way you guys could upload a video for controlling bleeding in the near future? Reason being is that I have skills coming up for it, and you guys are so in-depth for not very long videos 😅

[@IdahoMedicalAcademy]

Why no assistance with bvm at that rate, shallow and irregular?

[@IdahoMedicalAcademy]

Per the textbook you are correct, generally you should ventilate a patient who is breathing less than 8 or more than 28 times a minute. Good catch on that!

[@grantpeterson2493]

Why no full trauma assessment?

[@Jake-be9ji]

He said GCS of 7 but the text said 4 what did I miss?

[@colinproctor1346]

He's looking at the grading board in between changes hahah

[@IdahoMedicalAcademy]

No way, never! 🤐

[@Vengeance8888]

He should of addressed that femur right away

[@IdahoMedicalAcademy]

A single femur fracture is not generally considered a life threat, and there was no indication on any life threatening bleeding from the fracture. Since the injury is not a life threat, it is appropriate to manage it during the secondary assessment. With the decreased GCS score it is much more important to prioritize rapid transport over placing a traction splint on the femur, which would significantly delay transport.
