Extrication Consensus Statement FPHC; Roadside to Resus


Listen Later

Motor vehicle collisions or road traffic collisions are a massive problem worldwide. Data from the World Health Organisation reports that there are around 1.2 million deaths every year and this is the leading cause of death internationally for children and young adults aged 5-29 years. 

In the UK there are around 1,500 deaths annually and also around 60,000 patients with significant and life changing injuries, which is 7 patients every hour!! So anything we can do to improve patient care following an MVC is definitely a worthwhile venture.

We’ve looked at Extrication here on the podcast before but we’re back on it again because today the Faculty of Pre Hospital Care have released their Consensus Statement on Extrication Following a Motor Vehicle Collision. 

The statement builds on the work from the EXIT project and the research that has helped inform our understanding of multiple factors of extrication. The statement will inform a change of practice for both clinicians and non-medical responders and in this episode we run through the statement with two of it’s authors and discuss the practical applications.

Make sure you take a look at the new Consensus Statement itself and the background evidence which is all linked to on the website.

Once again we’d love to hear any thoughts or feedback either on the website or via X @TheResusRoom!
