TUESDAY, April 9, 2024 – 8am – 12pm in Beaverton, Oregon
This hands on four-hour course prepares for the first few minutes of casualty evaluation in a high-risk environment.
There are some injuries that will cause death before the arrival of EMS. Learning to manage these injuries rapidly and correctly is crucial to saving lives. This 4-hour in-person course will give you a plan to identify and manage immediately life-threatening injuries occurring during an active shooter event, a bombing, or a disaster.
As a bystander, you are in the best position to provide first care and are a critical beginning to the emergency medical system. In the first 10 minutes after an event, the only people available to provide care will be “active bystanders,” those nearby private citizens who will step forward to help. This course will teach you the skills to manage those injuries while waiting for first responders.
This foundational 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. We will give you a plan and the anchor you need to manage these events.
The first time you see massive bleeding shouldn’t be when you’re being called on to give life-saving medical care to a loved one, a neighbor, or a school child. After taking this course, you will have a strong foundation to identify immediately life-threatening injuries and save lives.
This course goes beyond the Stop the Bleed curriculum by addressing other preventable causes of death and will teach you how to use most public-access hemorrhage control kits. It also is consistent with the Tactical Emergency Casualty Care Committee’s Active Bystander Guidelines.
