About this episode
The first BTK THROW DOWN! A spicy debate…a war of words…a battle of ideas! This fiery episode features leaders in the field of trauma surgery discussing the optimal approach to vascular access in trauma patients. A recent study titled “Moving the Needle on Time to Resuscitation: An EAST Prospective multicenter study of vascular access in hypotensive injured patients using trauma video review” concluded that intraosseous access should be considered a first line therapy in hypotensive trauma patients. Is this appropriate? Crazy? Just so crazy it might work? Let’s get ready to ruuuummmmbbbbbbllllllleeeee!
