Ep. 163: The Prehospital Trauma Compendium – Part 2: Special Populations

Welcome to the Prehospital Emergency Care Podcast!

In this episode, hosts Jer Escajeda, Greg Muller, and Ariana Weber discuss four more of the fourteen articles from the Prehospital Trauma Compendium.  

In 2025, the Prehospital Trauma Compendium introduced crucial guidelines and insights regarding the management of traumatic injuries in prehospital settings. This episode summarizes four significant articles that focus on special populations: pediatric, pregnant, and geriatric patients, as well as the management of entrapped patients.  If you’re an EMS professional or a medical provider involved in trauma care, these insights are vital for improving patient outcomes.
