Today: Dr. Norman McSwain.

e icon: Dr. Norman McSwain.
The legacy: Dr. Norman McSwain was born in Alabama but relocated to New Orleans in 1978 after medical school so he could work at Charity Hospital, which he considered one of the most important trauma centers in the country -- and, more importantly, a place where he could make a difference. That's exactly what he did, too, over the course of a decades-long career that saw him create the city's emergency medical services system and earn international renown as a trauma physician. Emphasizing immediate treatment of victims of gunshots, stabbings, car accidents and other life-threatening injuries, his methods have become the global standard for trauma care outside of hospitals. They've also been taught to more than 500,000 people in 45 countries, helping to save countless lives in New Orleans and around the world.
The artist: Michael McManus.
The quote: "What have you done today for the good of mankind?" -- Dr. Norman McSwain, in his traditional telephone greeting

Dedicatoria 10ma Edicion ATLS 2018
Dedicamos la décima edición del ATLS a la memoria del Dr. Norman E. McSwain Jr. Su enfoque dinámico, positivo, cálido, agradable y edificante a hacer las cosas a través de la obra de su vida es una inspiración constante para aquellos cuyas vidas tocó. Su paso por el Colegio Americano de Cirujanos Comité de Trauma (COT) se extendió por casi exactamente los mismos 40 años del curso ATLS.
la época del Dr. McSwain con el COT lo condujo por un camino donde, sin duda, se convirtió en el defensor quirúrgico más importante para el cuidado del paciente prehospitalaria. Primero trabajó para desarrollar, y luego llevó y defendió, el trauma prehospitalario Curso de Soporte Vital (SVTPH) como un complemento vital e integral para ATLS. Combinados, estos dos cursos han enseñado a más de 2 millones de estudiantes en todo el mundo.
El Dr. McSwain recibió todos los honores el COT podría otorgar, y como último tributo, tenemos el placer de dedicar esta edición de ATLS a su memoria. Los creadores de esta décima edición diligentemente han trabajado para contestar el saludo más común del Dr. McSwain: “¿Qué has hecho por el bien de la humanidad hoy en día?” Que le proporciona el Curso de Apoyo Vital Avanzado en Trauma, 10ª Edición, junto con nuestra ferviente esperanza que va a seguir utilizándolo para hacer el bien para toda la humanidad. Gracias, Dr. McSwain.

Dr. Norman Ellsworth McSwain, Jr., M.D., FACS, was a pioneer in the field of trauma medicine who helped establish emergency medical service (EMS) systems on a national level as well as an international level. His training emphasized rapid, immediate medical services to treat victims of traffic crashes, gunfire, stabbings and other life-threatening injuries before they arrived at a hospital. His work has saved countless lives. He was a highly regarded Professor of Surgery at Tulane University School of Medicine and Clinical Professor of Surgery at Louisiana State University and Uniformed Services University of Health Sciences. He was the Trauma Director of the Spirit of Charity (Level I) Trauma Center; Medical Director and Founder of PreHospital Trauma Life Support, Chairman of Tulane Medical Center Emergency Medicine Section and Section chief of Trauma/Critical Care at Tulane; Police Surgeon for the New Orleans Police Department and Medical Director for the New Orleans Jazz and Heritage Festival for the past 30 years. Previous positions include Vice Chairman of the Department of Surgery at Tulane University School of Medicine and Residency Program Director for 15 years. He finished high school at Albertville High (1955) in Albertville, Alabama, earned a Bachelor of Science degree from The University of the South (1959) in Sewanee, Tennessee. He then returned to Alabama attending the University of Alabama School of Medicine (1963) to study medicine under Dr. Tinsley Harrison (Harrison's Textbook of Medicine) and Dr. Champ Lyons in surgery. Following graduation, he completed his internship in surgery at Bowman-Gray (currently Wake Forest University) School of Medicine (1965) in Winston-Salem, North Carolina, then joined the Air Force (Berry Plan) and under the tutelage of Dr. Kermit Vandenbos performing more than a thousand surgical procedures before he completed his residency in surgery at Emory University School of Medicine (1970) through Grady Memorial Hospital in Atlanta, Georgia. He continued his experience in patient care as a partner in private practice with Dr. Harrison Rogers (who later became President of the American Medical Association) for three years in Atlanta. During his time in Atlanta he developed an interest in emergency medicine and trauma care while he was Medical Director of the Road Atlanta Race Track. He joined University of Kansas School of Medicine (1973) in Kansas City, as an Academic Associate Professor of Surgery. While at KUMC, he was Medical Director of the Kansas City Fire Department Paramedic Program (KARE), the Johnson County Kansas Paramedic Program (MED ACT), served as state-wide EMS Medical Director and developed a state-wide EMS system. He established a standardized curriculum and training for emergency medical technicians (EMTs) that was utilized throughout the state. An area of major importance he accomplished while at KUMC was securing a contract with the Department of Transportation to develop and implement a national curriculum for EMTs and EMT-Paramedics and the development of a national certification examination. When he left KUMC, one out of every five hundred Kansans (including the entire Kansas Highway Patrol) was trained as an EMT- Basic, 90% of the population was covered by paramedic quality care with response times within ten minutes. Dr. McSwain was recruited by Tulane University School of Medicine and Charity Hospital, considered to be one of the three most important trauma centers in the United States, in 1977. The city called on McSwain to continue his work developed in Kansas, including a similar protocol in New Orleans which helped boost Interim LSU Hospital to become a Level I trauma center. McSwain also began training city police in basic emergency medical and paramedic techniques. For the past 35 years, he made a point to care for severely injured police officers as the Police Surgeon for the New Orleans Police Department. McSwain's crowning achievement could be his worldwide impact on emergency trauma care. An American College of Surgeon (ACS) Fellow since 1973, Dr. McSwain began his involvement with the Committee on Trauma (COT) in 1975 through his work with the Kansas Committee on Trauma. Four years later, he was appointed to the national COT where he led both the Pre-Hospital Care Committee and the Advanced Trauma Life Support® Committee. He played a leading role on the team that revised the initial Hospital Resources Document, which evolved into the current COT Verification, Review, and Consultation Program for Hospitals. Over the next three decades, Dr. McSwain led the Louisiana Committee on Trauma, served on the task force for Operative Skills, was a liaison to the Board of Regents, and most recently, served as the liaison for the National Association of Emergency Medical Technicians (NAEMT). In collaboration with NAEMT and COT, he founded PreHospital Trauma Life Support (PHTLS). The methods developed are widely regarded as the world standard for trauma care outside hospitals. PHTLS has trained more than one million providers in 64 countries since the first course in New Orleans in 1983. As the champion of PHTLS and the NAEMT, his work set the stage for the modern version of Tactical Combat Casualty Care. Immediately following the active shooter disaster at the Sandy Hook Elementary School in Newtown, CT, Dr. McSwain agreed to be a founding member of the Committee to Develop a National Policy to Increase Survival from Active Shooter and Intentional Mass Casualty Events. He brought the dedication, passion, and intellect for which he was famous to the Hartford Consensus deliberations. He fiercely advocated for an organized coordinated prehospital response which incorporated hemorrhage control by immediate bystander responders, a change in focus of the mission of law enforcement to include immediate stopping of life-threatening hemorrhage of victims, and an urgent response by emergency medical personnel to treat and transport trauma patients to the appropriate trauma hospitals. He recognized that time was a critical factor in patients who had massive bleeding. Dr. McSwain served the US Air Force where he earned the Air Force Commendation Medal. He was also a retired US Navy Captain, including serving in the Persian Gulf on the USNS Comfort where he earned a Citation for Outstanding Performance as a General Surgeon during Operation Desert Storm from the US Naval Forces Central Command (1991). He was board certified in general surgery; certified by the National Registry of EMT's as an EMT-Paramedic; certified as a hyperbaric physician by the International Society of Aquatic medicine; a member of the American Association for the Surgery of Trauma; the American College of Emergency Physicians; the American Surgical Association; and the Association for Academic Surgery; a member of the Committee on Tactical Combat Medical Care and the Trauma and Injury Committee of the Defense Health Board. He was one of the founders of the Eastern Association for the Surgery of Trauma (EAST), the first (and only) ad hoc chairman of Advanced Trauma Life Support (ATLS). He sat on the Editorial Board for Journal of Trauma, Comprehensive Therapy, Emergency Medicine, Emergency Care Quarterly, Prehospital and Disaster Medicine, and Trauma Chronicle; and served as an Editor or Editorial Consultant for six separate publications. His Tulane Trauma Educational Institute trains EMT's at Tulane University, runs the Rural Trauma Development Course throughout Louisiana, currently trains Navy Special Warfare Medics and SEALS. He developed the McSwain Trauma Education Project, an endowed education for EMS providers who cannot afford to travel to the large EMS educational programs for continuing education. An inspiration to several generations of trauma and emergency care professionals, Dr. McSwain is the only physician in the history of ACS to receive all five major trauma awards: in 1989, he won the Meritorious Service Award from the Advanced Trauma Life Support's Committee on Trauma, in 1998, he won the National Safety Council's Surgeon's Award for Service to Safety, in 2000, he won the Committee on Trauma's Millennium Commitment Award, in 2001, McSwain was named both a Scudder Orator and won the Committee on Trauma's Meritorious Achievement Award for state or provincial chairs. He has earned every honor the ACS COT and NAEMT bestows and received the NAEMT award that now bears his name-the Dr. Norman E. McSwain, Jr., PHTLS Leadership Award. In addition, his awards include the Award of Excellence from the Kansas Emergency Medical Training Association (1977); the President's Leadership Award from the National Association of Emergency Medical Technicians (1980); the NAEMT "Deke" Farrington Award of Excellence (1983); President's Award from the National Association of Emergency Medical Technicians (1984 & 2000); the Distinguished Achievement Award from the American Trauma Society (1993); the Virginia S. Furrow Award from Tulane University School of Medicine (1998); the Rocco Morando Award for Lifetime Achievement in EMS from the National Association of Emergency Medical Technicians (2002); AARP the Magazine Award (2005); the National Public Health Hero Award from the University of California-Berkeley's School of Public Health (2006); the Spirit of Charity Award (2008); Distinguished Lectureship Award from the Society of Trauma Nurses (2008); the CAPT Frank K. Butler, Jr. Award for Outstanding Contributions to Tactical Combat Casualty Care (2008); and the Order of Military Medical Merit (2012) among numerous other awards and achievements. Dr. McSwain has co-authored 37 books, and 420 journal articles; authored 116 book chapters, delivered 900 professional presentations and earned more than 50 professional awards. As a certified scuba diver since the early '70s, he was one of the original founders of the International Society of Aquatic Medicine (ISAM), and logged more than 1800 dives. He was an avid Alabama football fan. He is survived by his daughter, Merry Johnston McSwain, his sister, Ann McSwain Kightlinger and her husband Neal, his niece and nephew, Janelle K. Eason, David Kightlinger (Shannan). Services for Dr. McSwain will be held at Lake Lawn Metairie Funeral Home, 5100 Pontchartrain Blvd. in New Orleans.

McSwain TRAUMA EDUCATION PROJECT   Tsa-La-Gi
Dr. Norman McSwain Jr. RIP 
Historia de Tsa-La-Gi:
Por Merry McSwain (Hija del Dr. Norman McSwain)
Tsa-La-Gi significa Hombre de Medicina en el idioma de la tribu Cherokee Native American. Los indios Cherokee se originaron en Alabama, que es el estado natal de Papi y Yo. Cuando papá era un Aguila Scout en los Boy Scouts de America, se enteró del rastro de las lágrimas. A partir de 1830, la tribu Cherokee fue una de las 5 tribus que fueron retiradas por la fuerza del sureste de los Estados Unidos. Más de 17,000 indigenas Cherokee se vieron obligados a caminar más de 1,000 millas (1600 km) al Territorio de Oklahoma para su reubicación. 2,000 - 6,000 cherokees murieron en el camino, por lo tanto, el rastro de lágrimas. Papá estaba profundamente conmovido por este evento en la historia de los Estados Unidos y desarrolló una afinidad por los nativos americanos.

Él siempre llevaba collares de garras de oso. La garra de oso es un talismán frecuentemente incluido en los paquetes de medicinas nativas americanas dadas a los enfermos o heridos. En algunas tribus, los guerreros lo usan como collar para darles poder y fuerza.


Espero que esto atienda todas sus solicitudes. Por favor, hágamelo saber si tiene alguna pregunta y / o si puedo proporcionar más información o aclaraciones  by Merry McSwain hija del Dr. Norman McSwain EPD





History of Tsa-La-Gi: 
By Merry McSwain (Daughter of Dr. Norman McSwain)  
Tsa-La-Gi means Medicine Man in the language of the Cherokee Native American tribe. The Cherokee Indians originated in Alabama which is the home state of Daddy & I. When Daddy was an Eagle Scout in the Boy Scouts of America he learned about the Trail of Tears. Beginning in 1830, the Cherokee tribe was one of the 5 tribes forcibly removed from the Southeastern United States. Over 17,000 Cherokee Indians were forced to walk more than 1,000 miles to the Oklahoma Territory for relocation. 2,000 - 6,000 Cherokees died along the way, thus, the Trail of Tears. Daddy was deeply moved by this event in American history and developed an affinity for Native Americans.  

He always wore bear claw necklaces. The bear claw is a talisman frequently included in a Native American medicine bundles given to the sick or injured. In some tribes it is also worn as a necklace by warriors to bring them power and strength.

I hope this addresses all of your requests. Please let me know if you have any questions and/or if I can provide further information or clarification

McSwain´s Rules of Patients Care by Dr. Norman McSwain Jr. Tsa-La-Gi


Obit: Norman McSwain Jr, MD
Once again, the trauma world is a little smaller. Yesterday, another great trauma professional passed away, Dr. Norman McSwain. I have known the man for decades, and literally grew up reading about his advancements and accomplishments. It’s interesting that one never truly appreciates the magnitude of those achievements until the person is gone.
Norm was a skilled surgeon and teacher, but his achievements were felt far outside his home in Louisiana. He was an early member of the ACS Committee on Trauma, and was very involved in the development of the Advanced Trauma Life Support and Prehospital Trauma Life Support courses. He is credited with developing the original EMS programs in both Kansas, where he took his first faculty position out or residency, and in New Orleans, his home for the remainder of his life. He spent his career at the Charity Hospital there, weathering multiple political storms over the years, as well as the big one, Hurricane Katrina. He was instrumental in achieving Level I Trauma Center status for its replacement, Interim LSU Hospital.
Norm’s accomplishments are, as many of his contemporaries who have left us, too numerous to count. I certainly won’t try to recount them here. But it was his charm, his love for his charges, and his willingness to teach every trauma professional that will always be remembered.
I’ll leave you with his 18 rules of patient care. They are timeless, and will serve you well regardless of your degree and level of medical training.

Revered trauma physician Dr. Norman McSwain dies at 78
Dr. Norman McSwain, a New Orleans physician revered for establishing New Orleans' emergency medical services system, died Tuesday (July 28), according to the New Orleans Police Department. He was 78.
He had been hospitalized in critical condition at Tulane University Medical Center after suffering a "cerebral bleed" July 17, according to a report in the Journal of Emergency Medical Services.McSwain's life will be remembered for the impact he made on emergency trauma care. As a member of the American College of Surgeons' Committee on Trauma, he helped develop the Advanced Trauma Life Support and the Pre-Hospital Trauma Life Support programs. His methods are widely regarded as the standard for trauma care outside hospitals.
His practices have been taught to more than 500,000 people in 45 countries. He was also the only physician in the American College of Surgeons' history to achieve all five major trauma awards.
McSwain served as director of trauma for the Spirit of Charity Trauma Center at the Interim LSU Hospital was a surgery professor at Tulane's School of Medicine. He also served as a consulting medical director for the New Orleans Jazz and Heritage Festival for almost 30 years.
Originally from Alabama, McSwain is credited for the creation of emergency medical service programs in New Orleans and Kansas.
His programs emphasized immediate medical services to treat victims of traffic crashes, gunshots, stabbings and other life-threatening injuries before arriving at a hospital.
McSwain earned his medical degree from the University of Alabama before joining the faculty at the University of Kansas, according his biography on Tulane's website.
He was later drawn to New Orleans because he believed Charity Hospital to be "one of the three most important trauma centers in the United States."
McSwain spent his time in New Orleans as he did in Kansas—he helped lift Interim LSU Hospital to become a Level I trauma center and started training police in basic emergency medical and paramedic procedures.
He made a point to care for severely injured police officers in his last 30 years.
McSwain additionally wrote or revised 25 textbooks and made more than 800 presentations of emergency trauma care in all 50 states, all Canadian provinces and most of Europe and South America.

Norman E. McSwain, Jr., MD, FACS, attended The University of The South in Sewanee, Tenn., and then returned to his birthplace of Alabama to learn medicine under Dr. Tinsley Harrison (of Harrison’s Textbook of Medicine fame) and surgery from Dr. Champ Lyons at the University of Alabama School of Medicine. After completing two years of surgical training at Bowman-Gray School of Medicine in Winston-Salem, N.C., McSwain then joined the Air Force. There, he performed more than a thousand surgical procedures. After his service, he went to Grady Memorial Hospital in Atlanta to finish his initial education as a surgeon. Over the next three years, he learned more about true patient care as a partner in private practice with Dr. Harrison 
Rogers in Atlanta before he joined the clinical and academic faculty at the University of Kansas in Kansas City. While there, he was given the responsibility of EMS education and system development for the State of Kansas. When he was recruited four years later to Tulane University School of Medicine, Department of Surgery, and Charity Hospital, New Orleans, he left behind 90 percent of the population of Kansas covered  by paramedic quality care within ten minutes of home, and one out of every 500 Kansans (including the entire Kansas Highway Patrol) trained as an EMT-Basic.  Serving as academic and clinical faculty at Tulane, McSwain’s main interest was in pre-hospital patient care through Charity Hospital, considered to be one of the three most important trauma centers in the U.S. at the time. Through his work there, he was recruited by the City of New Orleans to develop an EMS system for the city. He initiated both the EMT-Basic and EMT-Paramedic training within the New Orleans Police Department as well as a citywide EMS system.  McSwain also was recruited to the American College of Surgeons Committee on Trauma to assist in the development of the Advanced Trauma Life Support program. He worked with the ACS/COT and NAEMT to develop the PHTLS program.  Today, PHTLS has trained over half a million people in 45 countries.  It is considered to be the world standard for pre-hospital trauma care. He has worked with the military and the Department of Defense to develop the Tactical Combat Casualty Care program for military medics. For the past 30 years, he has provided care to severely injured police officers at Charity Hospital and has written or revised more than 25 textbooks, published more than 360 articles and traveled throughout the world giving 800 presentations. McSwain has lectured in each of the U.S.’s 50 states and in all of Canada’s provinces, most of the countries in Europe and in Central America,
and in the upper part of South America, as well as in Japan, China, Australia, and New Zealand.

Jul 28, 2015DR. NORMAN MCSWAIN, FOUNDER OF NAEMT'S PHTLS PROGRAM, HAS DIED



We are very saddened to report that Dr. Norman McSwain passed away today in his home in New Orleans. Internationally renowned and respected for his pioneering work in trauma care, Dr. McSwain founded NAEMT’s Prehospital Trauma Life Support (PHTLS) program 30 years ago, and is recognized by our association as the father of NAEMT education.
Norman McSwain
In addition to his prestigious career as a trauma surgeon, Dr. McSwain was a certified paramedic. He worked tirelessly throughout his career to ensure that EMS practitioners, both in the civilian and military sectors, received the highest quality education to enable them to provide the best care to their patients. He is admired and beloved by the EMS community across our country, as well across the globe, who have been impacted by his vision and passion for excellence in patient care.

He will be missed by the thousands of people whose lives he touched, but he will live on in the hearts and minds of his family, friends, colleagues, students and patients. We send prayers to his family and wish them strength and peace in the coming days.
