First Aid Care in the Tactical Environment
Date - Dec 4th, 2010 Instructor - John Hotchkiss / J. Paletta Location - 1125 Market St. Yuba City, Ca 95991 The goal of this program is to help prepare you as an emergency responder for rendering care in a high threat environment. Much of what we have learned in the past in civilian emergency medical care has dealt with treating the single patient, and under normal conditions encountered in the pre-hospital realm. The issues you must address, and in fact the way you view the entire scene, are substantially different when the possibility is strong that someone may be viewing you through the sights of their rifle. TOPICS Trauma Overview Kinetic Energy of Trauma Penetrating Trauma Blast Injuries Environmental Emergencies Mass Casualty Incidents Basics of Trauma Care Assessment of life threatening injuries Rapid Treatment of Airway, Breathing and Bleeding Concepts and presentation of shock Rapid transport and definitive care Care in the Tactical Environment Cover and Concealment Wounded Warrior Extraction Armor, Limitations, Uses, How it can hide an injury Use of Lights Limited Equipment that can make a difference Self Care – For when you’re the victim Wilderness type medicine for when you just can’t leave Needed: Good Attitude All students will be recieving their own pesonal tactical medic pouch with everything you would need in a real world incident. Do to the pouch and medical contents, the course must be paid for one month prior (Oct. 13th) in order to allow purchase and shipping of medical supplies. (you will NOT be using your medic kit in the class). (Both prices include range fees) Price: $160.00 (No IFAK) Price: $210.00 Last edited by Stone Cobra; 11-04-2010 at 6:37 PM.. |

excellent class. I would highly recommend this class. The first 3 hours or so went over terrorism in the United States. The intent was to basically hit home that even if you aren't a first responder, you can be thrust into that situation given current events. After that, the instruction went in to treating various injuries, focused around those you would find from a blast injury, gunshot injury, or stab/slice injury. The last hour or so was set aside for hands on and Q and A.
Because of the lengthy focus on the terrorism aspect and minimal hands on, this class would probably be suited more for someone who has already been through some sort of first aid training and already has an idea of how to apply bandages, dressings, and so forth. To make it a more beginner friendly course, I would shorten the terrorism part and lengthen the hands on portions. In the end, although it was more of a refresher for me, it still contained more practical first aid knowledge in 8 hours than a 120 hour EMT course. Although this class would benefit everyone, I can't stress enough how beneficial this class is to law enforcement. I can't speak on other departments, but my department's first aid training is entirely focused on CPR training, which we receive an update on every 2 years. Sadly, I would be surprised if any of my partners knew how to apply a pressure dressing or seal a sucking chest wound. It's not their fault, it's just a lack of training opportunities. If you are a LEO, seriously consider seeking out this course. I know we're trained to secure the scene first and let fire do their thing, but when your buddy goes down, or you go down, and fire is 15+ minutes out because of traffic or whatever, it's good to know that you can provide lifesaving measures that aren't limited to chest compressions, rescue breathing, and a band aid. |
