Trauma Emergencies and Care at Coursera Course details
- Welcome to Trauma Emergencies and Care. In this course, you will learn about some of the mechanics and physics of trauma on the human body, and how this can cause injury. You will continue to expand your new vocabulary with medical terminology, and learn how to describe the different injuries you may see. You will also learn about the trauma system itself- and when it is important to transport patients to a trauma center.
- Then we will dive into specific injuries based on what part of the body may be injured- or trauma by system. There are different considerations in the trauma patients depending on both how, and where, they are injured. And of course- you will learn your standard approach to a history and physical exam of the trauma patient.
- Finally, you will learn about something that you hope to never encounter: mass casualty incidents, or MCI's. These are occurrences where you may have multiple patients, and there is an organized and specific approach as a provider in these circumstances.
