The trauma block starts now.

In this episode, we dive into one of the most time-critical topics in EMS: bleeding and shock. From arterial spurters to sneaky internal hemorrhage, we break down how blood loss kills, how shock develops, and what we can actually do about it in the field. We revisit the lethal trauma triad, talk tourniquets (including junctional applications), and walk through why “treat for shock” is more than just something instructors say on repeat.

This episode is sponsored by Compression Works — makers of the AAJT-S, a device designed to control hemorrhage where traditional tourniquets can’t reach.

If it’s red and leaving the body, we’re paying attention.
