On this month's episode, we chat with Matt Smith about wilderness medicine.
As we shift from a high resource to a low resource setting, there are 3 main concepts to consider:
- Ideal to real
- High risk to low risk
- Stable to unstable
These concepts are important as we shift our practice and prepare ourselves.
For this patient context, we need to focus on the things we can't replace, and learn to manage that.
Our approach to these patients need to be algorithmic, and focus on doing the basics well. Two mnemonics (H-E-M-P; A-B-C-D-E) are presented to help with our approach.
Lastly, hypothermia assessment and management is discussed.
