There is no teacher like experience, so I'd love to know what those of you with years of experience make of our class case study...Thanks for the tips and advice!
39 year old truck driver, male, admitted to the hospital following an accident in which the cab of his truck caught fire. He was freed from the truck by a passing motorist, who stayed with him until the rescue team arrived. The rescue team decides to call Skycare to transport him to the regional trauma center which has a burn unit. His wife and two daughters have been notified.
How do you stabilize the patient and maintain airway and ventilation while also assessing, stabilizing physical trauma and the degree of his burns?
