EMS Protocol of the Week - Abdominal Injuries (Adult and Pediatric)

Very straight forward approach to abdominal injuries this week. EMS will assess and support ABCs from the CFR level and dress any eviscerations (without replacing any protruding organ), and BLS will initiate transport.

That’s it! Not much to worry about from an OLMC perspective, although now you know what to say if anyone calls asking if they should shove some loops of intestine back into the abdominal cavity (no, they should not).

See you all next week! All this and more at www.nycremsco.org and the protocols binder!
