Unfortunately, we’re not yet at the point of prehospital limb reimplantations, so until then, the protocol for amputations is pretty sparse – sterile wet-to-dry dressing, indirect cold storage, don’t let anything freeze, and transport.
That’s it!
Short email this week, don’t you think that deserves…a hand?
www.nycremsco.org for plenty of protocols, not enough jokes.
