NAEMT WELCOMES DR. LANCE STUKE AS THE NEW PHTLS MEDICAL DIRECTOR

Sep 03, 2015

As many of you know, Dr. Norman McSwain would greet PHTLS faculty with the same question every time we met or talked on the phone, "What have you done for the good of mankind today?"
 
Even now, we can hear him say those words, and it is with those words in mind that we share with you his wishes for sustaining and growing his beloved PHTLS program. Dr. McSwain knew his time with us was finite and he wanted to make sure there was a succession plan in place for his position as Medical Director of PHTLS. He recommended Dr. Lance Stuke of the Louisiana State University Medical Center and the Spirit of Charity Trauma Center to succeed him, and spent the last year mentoring him to take on this role.

Lance met Dr. McSwain for the first time in 1992 when he was a paramedic bringing patients to the trauma team at Charity Trauma Center in New Orleans. Dr. McSwain actually began training Lance then so it was no surprise that, when Lance became a surgeon, he would find his way back to Charity, ultimately being asked to serve on the PHTLS committee. 

Dr. Stuke was formally appointed to the position of PHTLS Medical Director late last week.  Please join us in welcoming Dr. Stuke to his new role.  We are confident that with Dr. Stuke serving as our Medical Director, we will be able to preserve and strengthen the PHTLS legacy that Dr. McSwain established and nurtured for the last thirty years.
 
Dr. McSwain is counting on all of us to report on what we've done for the good of mankind.  Let us use his words, his passion and his leadership as a beacon for us to follow into the future.

Hemorragia "Principal causa de muerte en Trauma" by Dr. Julio Jimenez, Facultado PHTLS

Cirujano asegura que hemorragia es principal causa de muerte en traumatismo

El cirujano general Julio Jiménez del Hospital Traumatológico Ney Arias Lora, asegura que la hemorragia es la principal causa de muerte tras un traumatismo y en el paciente deben ser evaluados cuatros puntos, el nivel de conciencia, la coloración de la piel, el pulso y la hemorragias.

Al exponer el tema “Apoyo Vital Avanzado en Trauma para Enfermería” durante la V Jornada Científica Académica de Enfermería, manifestó que el paciente politraumatizado debe ser reevaluado constantemente para asegurar que son detectados nuevos hallazgos y que no empeora los signos vitales evaluados inicialmente.

“Las emergencias prehospitalaria es uno de los campos donde el trabajo en equipo es más intenso. Las funciones de Enfermería respecto a otros miembros del equipo es un campo dinámico, mezclándose funciones de medicina y técnicos de transporte”, destacó.

Dijo que se deben canalizar una o dos vías periféricas de grueso calibre, 14-16 G, para poder administrar gran cantidad de fluidos en poco tiempo, las mejores vías de acceso venoso periférico en el adulto son la vena antecubital y las venas del antebrazo.

Sostuvo que la actuación de enfermería es imprescindible, fundamental y un factor predeterminante en la supervivencia y disminución de secuelas del paciente politraumatizado.

Destacó que la actuación principal ante un politraumatizado es un factor predeterminante en la supervivencia y disminución de secuelas del paciente, siendo la actuación de Enfermería imprescindible y fundamental dentro de los equipos de emergencias prehospitalario, así como para realizar una buena actuación integral del paciente.

El cirujano torácico sostuvo que dentro de los equipos de emergencias el planteamiento de actuación está siempre dentro del trabajo en equipo y en la coordinación de sus distintos miembros.

Recuerda que el proceso de atención de enfermería es el esquema fundamental para la actuación en el área y que de su desarrollo, junto con el trabajo en equipo dependen la calidad de nuestras actuaciones profesionales, así como el bienestar, el restablecimiento de la salud y la mejora de la calidad de vida de los pacientes.

Precisa que los politraumatismos son cuadros debidos a accidentes graves, que se producen en los individuos lesiones en diversos órganos y sistemas, afectando al estado general y/o constantes vitales que pueden ocasionar a los individuos un estado en el que peligren sus vidas, requiriendo actuaciones de urgencias.
