Severe Trauma on the Farm – Cultivating Caution

August 12 at 11:00 am - 12:00 pm CDT

Farm entanglement injuries involving PTOs and augers are among the most devastating, and most preventable, incidents in agriculture. This session covers proper PTO and auger guard maintenance and inspection protocols to prevent entanglement, step-by-step instruction on applying commercial tourniquets correctly in a field setting, and what bystanders should, and critically, should not do while waiting for paramedics to arrive. Knowing when to act and when to wait can mean the difference between life and death.
