The Land of Contusion (Soft-Tissue Trauma)

RideAlong: EMT School by Mike Fiore | Max Lizana | Jonathon Aldridge

Episode notes

Soft tissue injuries are some of the most common calls in EMS — and some of the easiest to underestimate. In this episode, we break down contusions, abrasions, lacerations, hematomas, crush injuries, and bleeding control, focusing on what’s happening beneath the surface and why even “minor” trauma can become serious if reassessment is ignored.

Mike and Max walk through DCAP-BTLS, distraction injuries, shock risk, swelling, and the importance of repeated physical exams. The big takeaway: soft tissue trauma might not scream at you — but it can absolutely sneak up on you.
