About the Event

This lecture will explore the critical care approach to managing polytrauma patients in the emergency setting. Topics will include rapid assessment, stabilization strategies, and prioritization of life-threatening injuries, as well as ongoing monitoring for secondary complications and systemic sequelae. Attendees will gain practical insights into evidence-based interventions that optimize outcomes for critically injured patients.

About the Speaker
Dr. Seshadri attended Madras Veterinary College in Madras, India and graduated in 1989. After graduation, he completed his Educational Commission for Foreign Veterinary Graduates that same year. Dr. Seshadri moved to Antioch, California and worked at a small animal practice while applying for an Emergency and Critical Care residency. In late 1990, Dr. Seshadri moved to Southern California to start an alternate-pathway residency in Emergency and Critical Care. He was exposed to amazing clinicians and was able to significantly improve his skill set and knowledge base. Since that time, he has remained active in both academic and private practice critical care settings contributing to the advancement of medicine and education of students, interns, and residents. Dr. Seshadri enjoys all aspects of emergency and critical care, and is comfortable with surgical case management and soft tissue surgery. He is trained in abdominal ultrasound and echocardiography, and is proficient in minimally invasive procedures such as placing stents and pacemaker implantation in the emergent patient.
