Video Summary

In this video, Christy Hertel, an advanced practice provider with trauma and surgical critical care, discusses trauma care during a humanitarian crisis. She highlights the principles of damage control surgery and the management of blast and crush injuries. Hertel also emphasizes the use of ultrasound in austere environments for assessing multiple organ systems. Limited resources and mass casualty events put a strain on available resources during humanitarian crises. Implementing a system that allows for damage control surgeries close to the point of injury and preparing for follow-up care at a different location can help save lives and reduce strain on resources. Continued education and training on advancements in care are necessary to ensure optimal management for critically injured patients.
