Matthew Douma: "Managing life threatening abdominal-pelvic injuries"

This talk is focussed on abdominal-pelvic, or more specifically, junctional haemorrhage. It is all about bleeding that is too proximal for an extremity tourniquet but below the diaphragm. Pre-hospital (civilian), battlefield, and iatrogenic causes will be presented and discussed. Haemorrhage control strategies will be taught.
