Pediatrics-Geriatrics-Special Populations

A Closer Look at the Geriatric Public Assist

10/30/2019

This BLS-focused talk will cover one of the most dangerous (from a medical-legal standpoint) and common calls we respond to: the geriatric fall patient. Sometimes these people simply need help off the floor, but sometimes there is something much more serious going on. We will identify strategies for effectively assessing these patients and outline the warning signs that should make you think twice about allowing them to refuse transport.Pediatrics/Geriatrics/Special Populations Track Sponsored by the Childress Institute for Pediatric Trauma.
