Consensus statement reports updated prehospital protocols for crush injury, suggesting reduced reliance on aggressive fluid administration.
Guidance is required for UK prehospital care providers managing patients with suspected crush injury to minimise preventable morbidity and mortality. This consensus statement gives relevant and practicable recommendations following a structured evidence review and a consensus process. Differences between this and previous guidance reflect, in part, the context for which these recommendations are intended. The role of aggressive fluid administration and concerns regarding hyperkalaemia are de-emphasised. This consensus statement may also be relevant for providers working in other developed healthcare systems.
