Trauma Tactics Level One: Injury Response in a Changing World
Trauma Tactics Level One: Injury Response in a Changing World
The world we know is changing, and not necessarily in the direction we would like it to. Car accidents and work injuries have been safety concerns for decades, but the last few years have given rise to shootings, riots, bombings, and more. Tragedy can strike at any moment, and in those moments of chaos and uncertainty we fall to the level of our training. The question is… will you be ready? It’s ok if you hesitated, this course is designed to prepare you to be ready.
This class will start with an introduction to the environments and situations you might be rendering care in. Then, using the tried and tested MARCH method we will cover the fundamentals of major bleeding control, airway and respiratory system management, as well as secondary bleeding assessment and management. We’ll cover patient stabilization for transport, and basics of environmental factors in the trauma patient. Lastly, we will discuss useful supplies to have to build your own kit, and touching on mass casualty scenarios.
This course is fantastic for teachers, church members, law enforcement officers, and business owners alike.
