Back at it with our DR cABCDE series, delivered online by members of our committee. Great session last night!
Back doing some online teaching for @auwems on oxygen therapy (and more) yesterday evening. Interesting trying to deliver a normally very hands on session remotely!

Direct pressure for external haemorrhage control. Why one finger is better than a hand and why bandages on an actively bleeding wound are really unhelpful. 1. We need to compress a bleeding wound to overcome systolic BP e.g. 120mmHg. This is equivalent to 16,000N/m2.
