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.
