That’s A Wrap – To Splint or To Bandage
In this course, we will cover various trauma injuries, including open fractures, closed fractures, open book injuries, amputations, and scenarios such as a pencil or scissors injury to the hand or cheek, sprains, and minor nosebleeds. What should you do in these situations? Should you splint it, pack it, set it, or leave it? Join us as we focus on these common injuries and learn how to effectively assist your ER, general surgery, and orthopedic trauma colleagues before you arrive at the Emergency Room with your patient. You’ll get hands-on practice in bandaging, splinting, and getting it all wrapped up!
