Trauma Tree & Vital Signs

In this episode myself and Mark Falkner look at the origins of the trauma tree & why it was created. We also look at the origins and utility of GCS, heart rate and respiratory rate. We also discuss the mapping of social deprivation onto trauma & the exposure that paramedics see in regards to trauma. We also look at some of the outliers within trauma that don't fit the historical picture of trauma. We also look at the most useful vital sign - that of respiratory rate. I hope you enjoy the episode. For more content by me head over to the Restore Podcast with Eoin Walker: https://podcasts.apple.com/gb/podcast/restore-with-eoin-walker/id1505391534
