The bleeding patient with Ben Watts

In this conversation with Ben Watts we look at the sequential
approach to arresting bleeding. We also examine the second/third
generation haemostatic compounds (celox, quik-clot),
pharmacological agents such as TXA, FFP, FDP, blood,
cryoprecipitate. We also examine the utility of tourniquets
(origins, usage and types), neck zones and wounds, Blunt injury
and junctional wounds, Hypotensive management and Pain management
modalities and preferential agents.


Ben is a specialist retrieval practitioner/CCP working in
Scotland and previously as a CCP in the Thames Valley and before
this in South West of England. He also has an extensive history
of expedition work in various international locations, I first
met Ben whilst working for World Extreme Medicine as a fellow
paramedic and he has been a contributor to both WEMcast and to
the College of Paramedics podcast. 


I hope you enjoy this wider ranging conversation as much as we
did.
