TACTICAL COMBAT CASUALTY CARE COURSE

Service Description

Our courses are completely consistent with the Tactical Emergency Casualty Care Committee Guidelines (TECC) and Tactical Combat Casualty Care Guidelines (TCCC). Tactical Combat Casualty Care (TCCC) courses introduce evidence-based, life-saving techniques and strategies for providing the best trauma care on the battlefield. The specifics of casualty care in the tactical setting will depend on the tactical situation, the injuries sustained by the casualty, the knowledge and skills of the first responder, & the medical equipment at hand. In contrast to a hospital Emergency Department setting where the patient IS the mission, on the battlefield, care of casualties sustained is only PART of the mission. We recognize this fact & structure our guidelines to accomplish 3 primary goals: 1. Treat the casualty 2. Prevent additional casualties 3. Complete the mission
