Civilian Medical Response to Traumatic Injuries
(6-8 hours)
Individual or Group Rate ($250/student)
(maximum of 8 students)
Course Outline:
This 6-8 hour course is based on the principles of Tactical Emergency Casualty Care (TECC), and provides a more holistic response to traumatic injuries than the basic Stop-the-Bleed course. This course is intended for the lay person with little or no prior medical training, and provides evidence-based best practices to enhance the survival rates of trauma victims while First Responders are enroute, or overwhelmed by a mass-casualty event.
This course balances lecture with a premium towards hands-on skills application using a variety of training aids.
(NOTE: Simulated blood can be included upon request for a $50 fee)
The M.A.R.C.H. algorithm will be used to assess and treat simulated casualties, with the following areas addressed:
- Scene Safety & PPE / BSI
- DHS' Hot-Zone / Warm-Zone / Cold-Zone criteria, & appropriate levels of care
- M.A.R.C.H. algorithm for assessment / treatment priorities:
- Massive Bleeding (Hemorrhage control)
- Airway
- Respiration
- Circulation
- Hypothermia prevention / Head Injuries
- Burns
- Blast injuries
- Eye injuries
- Fractures
- Casualty movement
- Rescue Position
This course utilizes the C-TECC Guidelines for Civilian First Care Providers.
The Stop the Bleed curriculum will be used for the hemorrhage control portion, and the student will be issued a Stop the Bleed Certificate upon completion of the course.
