Description
Over 50% of all motorcycle crashes will result in serious injury or
fatality. EMS providers must be prepared to assess the crash scene, prevent
rescuer injury and accurately triage & treat the injured. The Two Wheel
Trauma concept was fashioned in early 1986 by three experienced EMS
providers in rural Clay County, IA. Anita Bailey, Slider Gilmore and Frank
Prowant saw the need for a specialized CEH program to focus on motorcycle
trauma. Wayne Wierson, an avid motorcyclist, joined the faculty in 2005 to
present Share the Road.
Goal
The Two Wheel Trauma program intends to reduce fatalities and improve the
survival rates for those injured in crashes involving motorcycles, bicycles,
all-terrain vehicles, snowmobiles and other vehicles of similar designs,
through prevention and education.
Objectives
At the conclusion of the program the participant shall be able to:
-
Explain the Share the Road program goal of encouraging all
drivers, of all vehicles, to safely interact with motorcycles on the
roadways to prevent crashes.
-
Identify motorcycle parts, including the associated hazards and
injury potential.
-
List two principles for on-scene crowd management.
-
Select correct treatments for environmental, extremity and soft
tissue injuries.
-
Choose proper treatments for life-threatening injuries that
result from TWT crashes.
-
List when and how to remove a helmet.
