Episode 24 - "MAST" Trauma Care Concept

Jason Tartalone Season 2 Episode 10

In today's episode, we tackle a crucial yet often overlooked aspect of trauma care: minimizing on-scene time to improve patient outcomes. Drawing from leading trauma courses like PHTLS, BTLS, and ITLS, we introduce a new acronym, MAST, designed to streamline your trauma care and response. 

Scene time is a critical factor in trauma care, and studies consistently show that longer on-scene durations negatively impact patient outcomes. We explore the universal agreement on the need for rapid transport and challenge common practices that delay patient movement. Finally, we underscore that transport is the priority, with numerous studies demonstrating that getting patients to definitive care quickly saves more lives than extended on-scene ALS interventions.

Join us as we dive deep into the MAST approach, offering you actionable insights and a fresh perspective on trauma care. Whether you're a seasoned medic or new to the field, this episode provides valuable knowledge to enhance your response and improve patient outcomes.
