R7DHRE Preparedness Webinar
From Injury Patterns to Patient Movement: Essential Skills for Burn-Radiation Response
March 23 | 10am CT | ZOOM
Get a focused overview of how to identify burn‑radiation injuries, deliver immediate life‑saving care, manage contaminated patients, and apply responder safety principles. Participants will also learn how to access regional radiation expertise and coordination pathways during complex incidents.
Objectives:
Differentiate thermal burns, radiation-induced skin injury, and combined injuries in order to apply appropriate clinical priorities emphasizing immediate life-saving care before contamination concerns.
Describe screening, decontamination, adaptations for severe burns, responder safety principles (time, distance, shielding) and safe transport considerations for contaminated patients.
Identify regional radiation support assets, reach-back capabilities, and coordination processes to support clinical decision- making and patient movement during a burn-radiation incident.
