Reply To: Treatment

Mod-80 -“QUESTION FOR HEALTH TO ANSWER: What is the source of your statement that proper EMS protocol is to approach the evaluation of the victims differently when dealing with a single vehicle accident as opposed to a multi vehicle accident?”

I already dealt with this -“Trauma – Are there medical causes? (e.g. diabetes, CVA, MI, etc.)”

“I skipped the rest of the whole algorithm. There isn’t time to do it at every MVA, but it’s imperative at least to do it at a 1 car MVA!”

IDK if you have treated accident victims, but I have.

The book says -“Trauma – Are there medical causes? (e.g. diabetes, CVA, MI, etc.)”

I haven’t seen anyone look for medical causes in MVA’s. From before – “There isn’t time to do it at every MVA, but it’s imperative at least to do it at a 1 car MVA!”
