Dr. Nik Matsler is back to discuss the treatment of patients with crush injuries and crush syndrome. Dr. Matsler's insight as an emergency physician and a toxicologist are put to work helping us understand the pathophysiology of crush related injuries.  We also try to discuss very practical approaches to these situations which are complex.  No two crush injuries will present the same.  Many variables contribute to the presentation of these patients. Duration of crush, amount of force applied, the size of the body part crushed, all play a role.  There is much EMS folklore about treating these patients prophylactically in order to stave off deadly arrhythmia.  Does this work?  What treatments matter for these patients?  Paramedics and EMS are the first line of care for these patients.  How can you give them the best chance of survival?

Crush Injury and Crush Syndrome- Is What You Learned Folklore?

Paramedic training is over, you’re in the front seat now. Whether day 1 or day 1,000 you can’t shake the fear you’re underprepared. You were taught to systematically decide if A... do B. But what if “A” wasn’t in the book? The truth is each emergency call is too unique to teach the right response to every situation. We need to go beyond algorithmic thinking and understand deeper principles, the WHY behind the algorithm. When every decision counts you want to rely on a framework that will guide you when things don’t make sense. Loud & Clear: EMS Guiding Principles is your resource to build that framework. Through discussions with experts, review of evidence-based best practices, and real-world case studies we teach you one step past what you learned in paramedic school. But all of this advanced education is connected back to the guiding principles that answer the question- “at the end of the day, what actually matters to the patient I have in front of me?” Our mission is to elevate your practice and help you improve patient outcomes in every emergency situation. You may not feel ready, you may not feel like you know enough, but by understanding the guiding principles of emergency medicine you can become an expert EMS clinician. Because what you do matters.
