In episode 17 of Wilderness Medicine Updates, host Patrick Fink delves into the ICAR resuscitation algorithm for buried avalanche victims. The episode reviews the physiology of avalanche burial and discusses critical determinants of survival, such as duration of burial, airway patency, signs of life, and lethal injuries. The Basic Life Support (BLS) and Advanced Life Support (ALS) algorithms are explained in detail, with a focus on the practical application for both amateur and professional rescuers.
The episode also includes two detailed case studies that illustrate the application of the resuscitation algorithm, providing listeners with practical scenarios to better understand the protocols. Key insights on the importance of quick action, hypothermia, and ongoing CPR are highlighted, making this episode essential listening for anyone involved in avalanche rescue operations.
