Emergency & Critical care, Session 1

Complicated Trauma Cases

As emergency clinicians we are often faced with polytrauma patients where injuries to multiple body systems must be prioritized and addressed simultaneously.
In this case-based webinar we will revisit the systematic approach to the trauma patient, emphasizing how to recognize life-threatening thoracic and abdominal injuries early and how to prioritize diagnostics and interventions in the emergency setting.
We will discuss practical strategies for stabilizing patients with chest trauma, including the management of pneumothorax, hemothorax, and severe pulmonary contusions, as well as the emergency approach to abdominal trauma. As in previous CCMs, this will be a very interactive evening session

Learning outcome:
After this webinar, participants will be able to apply a structured emergency approach to polytrauma patients, recognize and prioritize life-threatening chest and abdominal injuries, and make informed decisions about stabilization and further interventions under time-critical conditions.
