Advanced Tactical Casualty Care
This dynamic and practical course covers the evaluation and treatment of the tactical casualty during the Care Under Fire/Direct Threat and Tactical Field Care/Indirect Threat phases. This stand-alone course covers all the materials presented in the Tactical Casualty Care course and builds upon that with additional hemorrhage control skills, recognition, and management of tension pneumothorax, practical airway devices, additional demonstrated skills stations, and much more extensive example scenarios. CAPCE accredited CEH awarded upon successful completion. Online, self-paced.
The course uses photographs of actual injuries, diagrams of wounds, and step-by-step demonstrations. The material is presented in an easy to understand, directly applicable way. This class is consistent with current Tactical Combat Casualty Care (TCCC) guidelines as well as the guidelines for Tactical Emergency Casualty Care (TECC). It also exceeds the Stop the Bleed curriculum.
