RE: Suspension Trauma / Orthostatic Hypotension

[Guest guest]

Hi Kal

Our guys at work cover this sort of thing as our medics are well up to speed

on this for our Rope Rescue guys.

I am back at work this week so I will try to get the info from them ASAP.

Cheers

Rod

Suspension Trauma / Orthostatic

Hypotension

Hi all,

I've been asked to do a presentation on:

" suspension trauma " / " orthostatic hypotension "

Do any of the members have any info on this subject or any useful links.

Better still anyone already done a lesson on this subject?

So far the information I have gained seems very thin on the ground.

Mainly about climbers who get into difficulty, and end up stuck in

suspension.

I do understand that it is caused by poor veinus return from the lower

extremities when suspended from a harness and has similar effects to

crush syndrome, but I would like to learn more.

Thanking you in advance,

Kal

Kal,

From memory there is a paper on the remote medics site on this. It is either in

the resources or download section.

Cheers,

Ross
