James clarifies what the process of permissive hypotension is and how and why to use it as a temporary management strategy. Top 3 tips: 1. Try not to think about a specific number in these patients but look at the bigger picture. Assess for multiple signs of shock when deciding how to treat these patients. 2. Think about the patient’s journey - how far do they need to go, how you are going to get there and how long will it take? Patient’s requiring a longer journey may require more resuscitation that those undergoing a shorter journey.3. Think carefully before giving large amounts of crystalloid to these patients, it may be the only option in some patients but there are negative effects to its use. Biography: James is an anaesthetic registrar based in Edinburgh. He has worked for a number of pre-hospital organisations around the UK and is currently a fellow with the Emergency Medical Retrieval Service in Glasgow. He has completed sub-speciality training in Pre-hospital Emergency Medicine (PHEM) and holds the Fellowship in Immediate Medical Care (FIMC). His main interests inside medicine include trauma, from scene to theatre, and retrieval medicine. Outside of work he spends most of his time baking bread, enjoying mountains and looking after his 3 children.
