| I took the 2 day Tactical First Responder course with Instructor | |
| Val and his guest Instructor, Tim Clay and left the class with | |
| all the tools and knowledge necessary to provide life saving | |
| care as a first responder. Both Instructors are an incredible | |
| source of experience and knowledge who lead by example and truly | |
| ensured all members of the course were well trained by the end | |
| of our two day course. | |
| Day one consisted of part classroom instruction and part hands | |
| on practice with the skills we were learning in the classroom. | |
| The governing concept of Tactical Trauma Care lies within the | |
| MARCH algorithm which is taught repeated constantly throughout | |
| the whole course. Instructor Val has done a great job | |
| structuring this course around the MARCH algorithm and taking | |
| things one step at a time. On day one, we stepped through this | |
| algorithm one piece at a time, first with an introduction to the | |
| step, then background and finally a practical exercise. | |
| Day two consisted of almost exclusively hands on training. We | |
| performed wound packing on a slab of pork. We were taught the | |
| very basics on how to systematically clear a room of potential | |
| threats. We practiced a variety of carries and drags. Finally we | |
| performed mock scenarios to demonstrate our skills and perform | |
| under pressure. | |
| This class is very well taught and extremely informative and I | |
| recommend it to anyone looking to gain the knowledge and skills | |
| it takes to stop the bleed and save a life! | |
| A quick summary of the skills learned in the course, working | |
| with the MARCH algorithm, is as follows: | |
| *Combat mindset: an introduction to the mental state of a being | |
| of a person under extreme stress and/or injury. This was a very | |
| helpful introduction to have because it made me aware to the | |
| kinds of mental blocks I could face in a trauma situation. | |
| *M: massive hemorrhaging | |
| -We covered the use tourniquets extensively. Through self | |
| application as well as application on a victim. | |
| -We covered the use of a hemostatic agent (Combat Gauze) and | |
| wound packing. | |
| -We covered the use of pressure dressings such as the Israeli | |
| bandage. | |
| -We also covered direct and indirect pressure in the event the | |
| above mentioned tools are not available to you. | |
| *A: airway | |
| -We covered the evaluation of a patients airway and how to | |
| position their airway correctly. As well as an appropriate | |
| position to lay a patient in. | |
| -We covered the use of a Nasal Pharyngeal Airway. | |
| *R: Respiration | |
| -We covered the use of chest seals to combat difficulty | |
| breathing due to a chest/lung puncture. | |
| *C: circulation (non life threatening wounds) | |
| -We covered how to determine weather or not a wound is life | |
| threatening or not and how to properly care for and dress the | |
| wounds. | |
| -We covered splinting of arms and legs in case of a break. | |
| *H: head and hypothermia | |
| -We covered full patient assessments from the head to toes. | |
| -We covered strategies for hypothermia management. | |
| And again, this a absolutely awesome class taught by true | |
| professionals with real world experience and should be taken by | |
| anyone even remotely interested in learning trauma care. | |
