Today's episode, Trauma Fundamentals: Chest, Pelvis & Spine, brings together a curated compilation of three core areas of major trauma that every pre-hospital clinician must be confident in managing.In this episode, we revisit thoracic trauma with Dr Geoff Healy, exploring the life-threatening pathologies that demand early recognition and decisive intervention. We then move into pelvic trauma with Dr Ash Vasireddy, unpacking the nuances of pelvic assessment, the significance of the mechanism of injury, and the importance of early stabilisation. Finally, we round things off with spinal trauma alongside CCP Jim Walmsley, discussing decision-making, immobilisation, and the evolving evidence base guiding contemporary practice.These are conversations packed with practical insights, clinical nuance, and real pearls of wisdom from our guests. Whether you're early in your career or an experienced clinician, there is huge value in revisiting these fundamentals and reflecting on how they shape your approach to trauma care on scene.As always, the aim is not to be prescriptive but to support your thinking, challenge assumptions, and broaden your perspective on managing seriously injured patients in the pre-hospital environment.Do remember to work within your local policies, guidelines, and scope of practice at all times. But we hope that the discussions in this episode help inform your decision-making and ultimately support you in delivering high-quality, patient-centred trauma care when it matters most.⁠This episode is sponsored by PAX: The gold standard in emergency response bags.When you're working under pressure, your kit needs to be dependable, tough, and intuitive.

This is the first in the four-part series on anatomical trauma with some of the world's leading experts on specialist pre-hospital care. In today's episode, we delve into the complexities of assessing and treating thoracic injuries in pre-hospital care. We'll cover a range of topics, including pneumothorax, haemothorax, and flail chest. Our discussion will span the primary and secondary survey, airway management considerations, and the efficacy and evolution of modern interventions such as needle decompression. To bring these concepts to life, we'll examine real-life cases that highlight the challenges faced by healthcare professionals in the field. Joining me is Geoff Healey, a distinguished Prehospital and Retrieval Physician with Sydney HEMS. Geoff also serves as a Consultant Anaesthetist at Royal North Shore Hospital in Sydney and the Deputy Medical Manager for Sydney HEMS. With extensive experience in Australia's and the UK's Prehospital and Retrieval Systems, Geoff brings invaluable insights into our conversation. Additionally, he is an active member of the NSW Taskforce Urban Search and Rescue Team and has been deployed on numerous humanitarian missions worldwide. We unpack the intricacies of thoracic trauma management in pre-hospital settings, guided by Geoff's expert knowledge and frontline experiences.
