🎥 Live from the International Fluid Academy Day 2017 Hi everyone, I'm Shagan Onasanya, and I'm here with Karen Browey, who just delivered a brilliant and succinct summary on the management of trauma-induced hyperglycemia and massive hemorrhage.

🩸 So, Karen, let's distill it down. Someone is exsanguinating on the floor—what's the one-word summary of what we should do?

Karim:

"Stop the bleeding. That's the first, second, third, and fourth priority. Press on the wound, apply a tourniquet, do something—get them to surgery. In the meantime, do as little as possible, and what you do should focus solely on keeping the patient alive:

• Maintain coronary perfusion

• Support the ability to clot

• Don't dilute them with unnecessary fluids

• Avoid exacerbating the inflammatory response

• And treat any existing coagulopathy"

✅ A clear, focused, and life-saving message. 🎙️ "Fantastic—thank you very much, Karen!"
