Summary
Join Drs. Georgoff, Burke, and Premkumar in this episode of the EPA Playbook as they break down a practical, repeatable framework for managing patients in the trauma bay, one of the most high-pressure environments in surgical training. This episode focuses on the critical first minutes of evaluation, anchored in a structured primary survey. We emphasize how to recognize and immediately address life-threatening injuries, while maintaining situational awareness and clear communication with your team. From airway and hemorrhage control to adjuncts like FAST and early imaging, we highlight what matters most when time is critical. ***FREE EPA COURSE: https://behindtheknife.org/premium/epa-playbook Simply create an account on behindtheknife.org or our app and you the course will automatically show up in your Library.
