Annual Fall Trauma Symposium

Symposium

On November 6th, Main Line Health will offer its annual Fall Trauma Symposium designed for physicians, nurses, mid-level providers, pre-hospital emergency medical service personnel and other interested allied health care professionals.

Having received wide acclaim from our attendees, our dynamic expert speakers address the key concerns identified in today’s trauma care arena and the impact on patient outcomes, which is the key to its success. The Main Line Health Annual Fall Trauma Symposium will feature presentations on the latest advances and topics in trauma, while emphasizing the importance of quality patient care.

At the conclusion of the symposium participants should be able to discuss the most current trends in organ donation, contemporary trauma systems, penetrating neck trauma and blunt cardiothoracic trauma care management.

Additional objectives include:

• Identify updated protocols and criteria expansion for donation after circulatory death (DCD)
• Compare trauma system fundamentals, past and present
• State the “no zone” diagnostic approach to neck trauma which focuses on identifying hard signs of injury and patient stability rather than looking to the zone of injury for management
• Discuss the impact of early cavitary triage of patients with blunt multisystem injury
• Describe the impact of burden of injury on physiological and physical recovery of the body
