Pre-hospital Retrieval Cases in Sydney Australia with Brian Burns

This week we are talking with Dr. Brian Burns about the range of
Pre-hospital cases seen in NSW Australia. In the episode, we will
explore the prevalence of trauma versus acute medical pathology,
the types and patterns of injury encountered, the range and
efficacy of interventions in pre-hospital care delivered and the
utility of each. We will also examine the challenges of cases
that are unique to Australia and also the trends that are seen
within the country around blunt versus penetrating traumatic
disease. We will also examine some of the challenging cases that
Brian has encountered and the interplay between skills required
in the pre-hospital and hospital environment.
