Here's a pretty interesting webinar on the topic of triage.

The UK's NHS and NARU have developed a new Ten Second Triage (TST) protocol, with the goal of reducing deaths in mass casualty events.

TST simplifies the triage process and is applicable for every responder, regardless of the level of medical training.

Land mines! They're going to be a big problem for many years in #Ukraine.

Building local medical teams and networks specifically trained to deal with such injuries is part of the answer. This book contains useful guidelines, hard won from previous conflicts:

We’ve posted before and will do so again, read this #book, "Save Lives Save Limbs - Life support for victims of mines, wars, and accidents". Full of practical strategies for training local groups to respond to landmine injuries:

One of the goals of our fundraising is to support life saving training programmes for those local groups.

@autonomysolidarity Widespread #emergency #medical , #trauma and first responder training for everyone attending social movement events must be implemented. The #police will not change their tactics and the people need to be in a position to help themselves.

#EMT #medic #medicine #tecc

@CrimethInc Absolutely unacceptable that paramedics at the scene were not permitted to treat the injured.

We believe that everyone attending these types of events need to be trained in tactical emergency care techniques. Everyone should also carry emergency first aid supplies whenever possible.

If comrades can effectively treat their own wounded, until advanced emergency care arrives, or is permitted to arrive, there will be less loss of life and serious injury.

If you don't always have time to watch an #emergency #medicine video, what about trying a #podcast? Listen in the car, on the train, while out for a run....

The College of #Remote & Offshore Medicine (#CoROM) publishes just such a podcast series!

Application of #ultrasound in an austere environment? Episode 25. Management of severe #burns in an #austere environment? Episode 18. There's a lot to choose from.

#Landmines are one of the biggest scourges of modern warfare. They create so much civilian damage long after the #conflict ends.

Fast pre-hospital treatment of landmine injuries is needed to save lives and, where possible, limbs.

The key to such treatment is education and training. Building a local community of first responders with the necessary skills to act quickly in the treatment of landmine injuries is essential.

The perfect resource?

"#Guerilla #Medicine: An introduction to the concepts of #austere medicine in asymmetric #conflicts"

Unfortunately they still talk about "nationally authorized resistance organizations" and "State-authorized resistance efforts"

Nonetheless, this page provides a publication download (in PDF) on the topic of "medical support to resistance forces."

Should be an interesting read & a worthwhile resource

In some #trauma circumstances (neck, armpit, groin) it's very difficult to use a #tourniquet to control #bleeding. What's an alternative?

This video descibes the use of a Foley (or balloon) #catheter, usually insterted into the bladder to drain urine, to control massive #haemorrhage

https://www.crisis-medicine.com/wound-packing-foley-catheter/

CAT-7 tourniquets can cost in exces of €35. Foley catheters? Less than €10. Consider carrying a few

We'd be very appreciative of anyone who can support us, in order to purchase more #medical supplies for #volunteer #medics operating in conflict zones, primarily #Ukraine at this time.
