HLTH 3025 Paramedicine Trauma Care
Credit Points 10
Description This subject deals with pathophysiology and pathogenesis of traumatic injuries, conditions arising from uncompensated environmental exposures, and toxicological emergencies. Students are taught how to care for these patients in the out-of-hospital setting. Best patient outcomes are achieved when out-of-hospital care forms part of a trauma system. Therefore, paramedics are required to make decisions to achieve the provision of the right care and transfer to the right hospital in the right time. This unit aims to develop the knowledge and skills to safely and effectively care, treat and manage adult and paediatric patients who have sustained traumatic injury or injuries, conditions arising from uncompensated environmental exposures, and toxicological emergencies.
