24-7 ems trauma: 19 Courses
24-7 EMS Online: Sports Injuries (V2)
Product Code: EMS1015
Head, neck and spine injuries are common injuries that occur with contact sports. Many states have laws requiring coaches to assess for head injuries and to restrict all players with potential head injuries (concussions) from further participation until cleared by a physician.
Another risk for athletes is sudden cardiac arrest (SCA). This course reviews how to recognize and respond to typical contact sport injuries, with a special focus on the relationship between the athletic trainer and the EMS crew during an emergency.

24-7 EMS Online: Electrical Injuries (V2)
Product Code: EMS1016
Electrical injuries, although relatively uncommon, are certainly encountered by most emergency medical providers. Adult electrical injuries usually occur in the workplace, whereas children are primarily injured in the household setting.
The range of electrical injury is very broad, from negligible injuries to severe multi-system involvement (with both hidden and delayed complications), and sometimes even death.
This course will explore the effects of electricity on the human body, as well as the assessment and treatment for post-electrical shock patients.
Featuring Captain Steven C. LeCroy, MA, NREMTP, CRTT St. Petersburg, Fire and Rescue
24-7 EMS Online: Facial Injuries (V2)
Product Code: EMS1027
Facial injuries can be devastating for both the patient and the EMS responder. It is the face that connects us to another person: When the face is distorted we have difficulty recognizing the human aspects of a patient and it is a shock.
Once the essentials such as airway and bleeding are addressed, the EMS responder must be capable of assessing the damage to the face and properly anticipate any problems and treat appropriately.
This course reviews facial anatomy, types of injuries, and appropriate treatment to prepare EMS personnel to respond quickly and help prevent complications resulting from facial injuries.
Featuring Barabara Maher, EMTP, FPL, RN, MS. Connie Mattera, MS, RN, EMT-P Northwest Community Hospital EMS Administrative Director
24-7 EMS Online: Spinal Injuries (V2)

Spinal immobilization is one of the key skills for all EMTs. This program presents the anatomy and physiology of the spine and nervous system, reviews common mechanisms of injury, and illustrates the effect of these injuries on the spine. The importance of spinal immobilization is emphasized and proper immobilization is demonstrated.

24-7 EMS Online: Crush Injuries (V2)
Product Code: EMS1087
This program reviews the assessment and treatment of a patient with potential crush injuries. It emphasizes the importance of early recognition and treatment of crush injury syndrome.

24-7 EMS Online: MVC Management (V2)
Product Code: EMS1017
Motor vehicle collision (MVC) incidents resulted in numerous deaths and hundreds of injuries to EMS providers. MVCs encompass a complex assortment of unique situations where injured victims are amidst a variety of potential hazards such as traffic, chemical spills, fire, damaged vehicles, weather conditions and terrain challenges.
In addition, the introduction and popularity of electric and hybrid vehicles has increased the number of threats to EMS providers at the scene of a MVC. EMS providers must review and practice common techniques and procedures necessary to safely manage and mitigate these type of incidents.
This course reviews early recognition of needed additional resources, implementation of safety measures, coordinating the treatment of victims, and mitigation of any existing or potential hazards.
