Head injuries are unpredictable, high-risk, and often present in ways that challenge even the most experienced EMT. In this fast-paced, BLS-focused podcast, we’ll break down what you must know when responding to patients with suspected head trauma. From altered mental status and pupil changes to airway protection and spinal considerations, this course will sharpen your assessment skills, reinforce critical treatment decisions, and help you avoid common pitfalls in the field.

Whether it’s a fall, an assault, or a high-speed collision, head trauma calls for confident, informed action. We’ll cover real-world case reviews, discuss red flags you can’t ignore, and clarify when and why your interventions matter most.
