Top 10 PFC podcast of 2024 - #10 Anoxic Brain Injury

Prolonged Field Care Podcast

It's that time of year again. Let's finish the year off strong with your favorite podcasts. Don't worry...I already have new episodes in the pipe starting in January.

In this episode of the PFC Podcast, Dennis and Jeff delve into the complexities of anoxic brain injury, discussing its causes, recovery processes, and prevention strategies in tactical environments. They emphasize the importance of monitoring, airway management, and resuscitation goals, while also addressing the management of hypotension and shock. The conversation highlights the significance of preventing secondary brain injuries and the role of basic medical practices in saving lives. Takeaways Anoxic brain injury is caused by a lack of oxygen to the brain. Recovery from brain injuries can take time and various therapies. Preventing blood loss is crucial in tactical environments. Monitoring oxygen saturation is essential for early detection. Airway management decisions should be based on the patient's condition. Resuscitation goals should focus on maintaining adequate blood pressure and oxygen levels. Hypotension can arise from various causes and needs to be managed effectively. Resuscitation targets should aim for optimal blood pressure and oxygen saturation. Preventing secondary brain injuries is critical for patient outcomes. Basic medical practices can significantly impact survival rates.
