ED Evaluation and Management of IED Injuries

This course will be composed of several didactic sessions followed by a tabletop exercise that will cover the material presented in these sessions. Participants will learn about the different types of Improvised Exlplosive Devices (IED), the different types of blast injuries, the different types of thermal or chemical burn injuries, and learn to evaluate and manage victims of thermal, chemical, and radiological burns. Participants will also learn how to evaluate victims injured in a dirty bomb incident and how to perform radiation detection and decontamination. Participants will learn in a didactic format as well as by going through a practical scenario during the table top exercise, how to manage these different scenarios.
