The ACP International Conference provides an unmatched opportunity for our members to learn from experts and leaders in paramedicine. ACPIC 2021 was delivered as a hybrid conference (online and face to face in the Sunshine Coast, QLD and Hobart, TAS) in November 2021.
This presentation is a case study of a relatively rare incidence of a shark encounter, with a focus on the prehospital management and aeromedical retrieval of the patient. The presentation will also discuss factors which contributed to this patient's survival, despite a potentially fatal injury.
