EMS Debate: Stay and Play vs. Load and Go

Pre-hospital debate between Drs. Karim Brohi and Jon Jui: Load and Go vs. Stay and Play

Watch as Dr. Karim Brohi a Vascular and Trauma Surgeon from the Centre for Trauma Sciences, Barts and the London School of Medicine and Dentistry goes toe-to-toe with Dr. Jon Jui Emergency Medicine Physician at OHSU and EMS Medical Director for Multnomah County.

Who handles pre-hospital patient management better - the United Kingdom or the United States?

Did you know, in the UK, it's common practice for physicians to ride along in EMS vehicles and helicopters? They practice life-saving procedures in the streets, including thoracotomies and REBOA, in many ways, they bring the hospital to the scene of the trauma! In the US, it's our practice to get the patient to the hospital ASAP. 

Does the UK know something we don't? Join us as we debate both practices in pre-hospital care!!
