🚨 New paper in BMC Emergency Medicine!

Adding a simple 📸 photographic aid to verbal instructions improved bystanders’ ability to identify a safe site for intramuscular TXA in a simulated trauma scenario (88% vs 63%).

Early TXA saves lives #TXA

🌍🚑 At #WRC2025 all 36 teams from 20 countries included self-extrication patients in scenarios.

Real progress and fantastic to see the EXIT project principles adopted by our partners @WorldRescueOrg 🙌

🚨 New paper out! 🚨

Our scoping review maps the evidence on triage of road traffic casualties – with a focus on the role of bystanders.

Findings:

🟢 Evidence is limited + inconsistent
🟢 Clearer guidance + training needed

This study provides:

🧭 A framework for prehospital SOPs

📚 Guidance for training & triage
⚖️ A mandate to reduce inequities in trauma care

It’s another step forward for safer roads and better post-collision care.
