Welcome to episode 3 of our new series of podcasts under the orthohub banner, brought to you in conjunction with the QMUL MSc in Orthopaedic Trauma Science.

This episode focuses on the acute management of pelvic trauma.

We break down:

·      the essential role of the trauma team

·      how much Pete loves protocols

·      why the ABC of trauma management is missing a key element

·      the key destination of the trauma call

·      the 5 things you must do urgently to turn off the tap

·      why we don’t talk about permissive hypotension anymore

·      everything you could every need to know about binders

·      the vital role of tranexamic acid (TXA)

·      the role of external fixators, if any

The "orthomasters" podcasts sit alongside our "see one / do one" and "stories" series as another offering in our goal of providing comprehensive and entertaining orthopaedic content.

Our hosts are Kash Akhtar and Pete Bates, Course Directors of the online distance-learning QMUL Masters (MSc) in Orthopaedic Trauma Science.

This new series of short podcasts incorporates topics and materials from the course to break down, analyse and dissect key aspects of orthopaedic trauma.

It is aimed at people of all levels, with a heavy focus on keeping it clinical and practical - how to understand the key issues in a way that helps you do the day job better and with confidence, for the ultimate benefit of all our patients.
