The Virtual Education Series features collaborations between multidisciplinary subject matter experts. This group will meet to discuss new data developments from ongoing research and discuss gaps in knowledge to drive policy improvements and overcome implementation hurdles related to treatment of hemorrhagic shock. The education mission of THOR is also implemented via annual and regional meetings, THOR supplement and other publications.

Goals

• Discuss current controversies in resuscitation science
• Disseminate best practice: THOR consensus statements, THOR-AABB and THOR-other consensus statements
• Elicit discussion from practitioners in the field to drive research, technology development and policy recommendations

Topics

• Interventions appropriate for the prehospital setting, training needs
• Equipment/device challenges and new technologies for diagnosis, monitoring, hemorrhage control and other life-saving interventions
• Blood products, biologics and drugs to treat shock, coagulopathy, endothelial dysfunction, inflammation relevant in trauma and other causes of life-threatening hemorrhage
