Civilian Trauma Training: Lessons From Wartime Civilian Training with Kevin Collopy


Listen Later

In this compelling episode of the FlightBridgeED podcast, recorded at CCTMC24, we dive deep with Kevin Collopy, a distinguished figure in trauma care and awarded Best Research for his poster during the conference's Scientific Assembly. Kevin shares his groundbreaking work with just-in-time prehospital trauma training in Ukraine, a project that has garnered significant attention for its impact and innovation.

Amidst the backdrop of conflict, Kevin, along with a dedicated team of providers and organizations, developed and delivered seven different trauma courses, (including Pre-Hospital Trauma Fundamentals, which he and his team created specifically for this area of need) tailored for Ukrainian communities. These courses aim to mitigate civilian casualties and enhance patient outcomes amid wartime conditions especially when there are a limited number of responders and providers available and civilians are helping other civilians. Throughout the podcast, Kevin unpacks the process of creating these programs, their execution, and the potential future of just-in-time training in other conflict and disaster zones.

Kevin and host, Eric Bauer, also delve into a critical discussion on the undervalued importance of basic trauma skills (such as splinting, tourniquet and wound packing) which, as Kevin's research shows, play a vital role in managing war and disaster scenarios and are often overshadowed by more advanced skills. Tune in to this enlightening episode to understand the pivotal shifts in trauma training and how these lessons from the front lines can reshape our approach to emergency preparedness and response.
