Certified Stop The Bleed Training With Included kit (Georgia Bushcraft)

Decrease Preventable Death FROM TRAUMA

TCCC launched a total reassessment of practices with one overarching goal: Decrease Preventable Combat Death at the point of wounding. These new strategies based on historical wounding patterns in combat also bear a particular relevance to the operators of Tactical Law Enforcement who share many operational parallels with their military counterparts.

Instead of the civilian-based approaches of the past, integrated strategies specific to combat realities continue to emerge. Compared to standard pre-hospital treatment modalities, which are fundamentally based on blunt trauma, TCCC distinguishes itself from the norm by focusing primarily on the intrinsic tactical variables of penetrating trauma compounded by prolonged evacuation times.

Today, TCCC is quickly becoming the standard of care for the tactical management of combat casualties within the Department of Defense and is the sole standard of care dually endorsed by both the American College of Surgeons and the National Association of EMT's for casualty management in tactical environments.

In this course we will provide instruction from instructors that have real world tactical experience and provide for real world scenarios while back home. These are scenarios that can apply in everyday life from car wrecks to accidents in the home. Our goal is to provide information so that you can give someone the best chance of survival in a traumatic scenario.

Please understand that this course will educate you in ways to stop the bleed and save one’s life. Medical protocols change and this course is meant to be supplemented with other courses in order to provide the best outcome for patient survival.

TCCC is built around three definitive phases of casualty care:

Care rendered at the scene of the injury while both the medic and the casualty are under hostile fire. Available medical equipment is limited to that carried by each operator and the medic.

Rendered once the casualty is no longer under hostile fire. Medical equipment is still limited to that carried into the field by mission personnel. Time prior to evacuation may range from a few minutes to many hours.

Rendered while the casualty is evacuated to a higher echelon of care. Any additional personnel and medical equipment pre-staged in these assets will be available during this phase.

The course can also be tailored to suit the needs of law enforcement special weapons and tactics teams and special response teams.

STOPSMED employs TCCC/TECC instructors who possess authentic real-world experience in treating casualties in combat or tactical operations.

NAEMT's TCCC course is accredited by the Continuing Education Coordinating Board for Emergency Medical Services (CECBEMS) and recognized by the National Registry of EMTs (NREMT).
