Ep069 Harness Suspension Trauma

Suspension trauma — also known as orthostatic shock — can turn deadly in just minutes. It occurs when someone is left hanging in a harness, causing blood to pool in the legs and dropping blood pressure dangerously low. In this episode, we cover how to recognise the signs, what actually happens to the body, and why proper first aid is critical. Whether you're a rescuer, event medic, or work at heights — this is an essential one to know. 🎧 Listen now on Podbean, Spotify, Apple Podcasts & more 🌐 https://firstaidshow.com.au/dailyminute #dailyminutepodcast #firstaidshowaustralia #FirstAidShow #SuspensionTrauma #EventSafety #WorkplaceFirstAid #HarnessSafety #Shock #EmergencyResponse
