About this listen

In this episode, AAST Disaster Committee Chair Dr. Adam Fox discusses the intersection of trauma surgery, disaster response, emergency management, and prehospital care. He outlines how trauma surgeons contribute across the continuum of care during mass casualty incidents, hurricanes, earthquakes, critical care transport operations, and austere environments. He highlights the skillset required for field trauma care, critical care stabilization, crush injury management, amputations, ICU-level transport, and providing both surgical and primary care support during large-scale disasters.
