π¨ New paper in BMC Emergency Medicine! Adding a simple πΈ photographic aid to verbal instructions improved bystandersβ ability to identify a safe site for intramuscular TXA in a simulated trauma scenario (88% vs 63%). Early TXA saves lives #TXA π https://t.co/P9KkpeIjRo

ππ At #WRC2025 all 36 teams from 20 countries included self-extrication patients in scenarios. Real progress and fantastic to see the EXIT project principles adopted by our partners @WorldRescueOrg π #EXITProject #Rescue #Extrication

π¨ New paper out! π¨ Our scoping review maps the evidence on triage of road traffic casualties β with a focus on the role of bystanders. Findings: π’ Evidence is limited + inconsistent π’ Clearer guidance + training needed Free and open access: https://t.co/MJNDWVyPvf

7/ π Huge thanks to the @TheRSTrust for funding this work, and to the many subject matter experts who contributed. Together weβre building evidence to transform care for trapped casualties. π Read the full paper (free & open access): https://t.co/7qci5JgrNS

6/ This study provides: π§ A framework for prehospital SOPs π Guidance for training & triage βοΈ A mandate to reduce inequities in trauma care Itβs another step forward for safer roads and better post-collision care.

5/ This challenges traditional role boundaries: Fire, police, and other trained responders could safely provide life-saving care when patients are trapped β ensuring faster, fairer treatment. Itβs about capability, not just role.

4/ Key findings: π Early analgesia is essential π TXA saves lives and should be given as early as possible π Protection from environmental stressors (cold, heat, smoke) is vital π‘ Importantly: any trained responder should be enabled to deliver these interventions

3/ Through a Delphi consensus involving clinicians, paramedics & fire/rescue experts, we agreed on 45 key statementscovering: β
Injury categorisation (time-critical vs. time-dependent) β
Priority interventions β
Multi-agency responsibilities

2/ Why this matters: π Around 1 in 10 casualties after a collision are physically trapped. β±οΈ They face delays in treatment and worse outcomes. Yet, there has been no clear consensus on which injuries to prioritise, or what care should happen before extrication.
