Detective Wins Life-Saving Award

I witnessed a motorcycle accident while on patrol. After checking for massive hemorrhage (M), I continued to assess the patient and realized he had an obstructed airway (A), so I applied a NPA and was able to get the patient’s respirations per min down to a more normal number. Although my NPA didn’t have lubrication taped to it, I was able to use the patient’s blood and mucus to help it seat it correctly.

I continued the MARCH algorithm until EMS arrived on scene. I was assisted by an off-duty Paramedic and despite his injuries, the rider made a full recovery.

The reason I’m telling you this, is that Crisis Medicine’s in-depth Airway instruction portion of the online Advanced TC2 was the reason I had the knowledge and confidence to conduct this procedure under a lot of stress and adrenaline.

Of course, I’ve taken other TCCC courses that teach this, but sometimes you can’t get Mike’s voice out of your head when it comes to this stuff.

I was just awarded the Life-Saving Medal by my department for my response in this incident.
…Starting to feel like a big fan of Mike’s with all these damn training videos I’ve been watching. As always, you guys stay awesome!
