Circulation + Shock In the trauma paradigm, circulation becomes the priority after Major Haemorrhage, Airway and Respiratory (Breathing) have been appropriately assessed and managed. Adequate circulation is required for oxygenation to the brain and other vital organs. In pre-hospital settings, blood loss is the most common cause of shock in trauma patients. Here are some basic items every medic should carry :: • Trauma Dressings (Various Sizes) • Additional Haemostatics • Spare Tourniquet(s) • Trauma Blankets • IV/IO access kit(s) • Burns Care Products • Splints • Pelvic Binder It's more than just bandages.

💡 Friday Facts: Did you know that the scientific discipline of public health contributes to the health and well-being of individuals and communities? 🌟 Welcome back to our series on the multidisciplinary work of the AMES Research Center, where you can learn more about the varied scientific expertise of our faculty, staff, and students. The discipline of public health contributes to the well-being of individuals and communities by tracking health behaviors, risk behaviors, or diagnoses of diseases across the population, setting standards for safety and health in communities, or implementing and evaluating programs to improve health. 👉 Learn more about the discipline of public health here: https://lnkd.in/gV39-_xN 🔗 #AMESResearchCenter #KennesawStateUniversity #KSU #FridayFacts #Multidisciplinary #PublicHealth #EducationalResearch #MentalHealth #EmotionalHealth #CommunitySupport #HealthBehaviors #RiskBehaviors #FirstResponders #EmergencyResponders #PublicSafetyPersonnel #Military #Veteran #ServiceMembers #ActiveMembers #EducationalResearch

Our team at the University of Rochester Medical Center, Northwestern University, and University of California, San Diego - School of Medicine just received a Notice of Award for a major new study, continuing 10+ year research collaboration with the United States Air Force to develop, test, expand, and scale the Wingman Connect Program. Narrative summary of this five year $8M project (National Institute of Mental Health (NIMH), R01MH131738, Wyman PI): Effective upstream suicide prevention programs that can be implemented in real-world military settings are urgently needed to address the significant and growing problem of military suicides. This study tests and prepares the Wingman-Connect Program for large-scale delivery in the US Air Force (USAF). If study hypotheses are supported, Wingman-Connect will be ready for scale-up across the Air Force and potentially to other military branches, providing our nation’s military with the first universal intervention that reduces suicidal behavior, depression, and occupational problems across a broad military population.
