TACTICAL EMERGENCY CASUALTY CARE (TEC-201)

Medical emergencies are among the most constant and critical threats executive protection professionals are likely to encounter. This training focuses on recognition and appropriate treatment of life-threatening trauma—whether sustained during an attack, a motor vehicle accident, or any number of other possible scenarios. Participants will learn vital skills for saving lives during the critical minutes before EMS can reach or safely enter the scene.

Purpose

This training focuses on recognition of life-threatening injuries and application of appropriate treatments to dramatically increase survivability until the patient reaches higher-level care. You’ll learn proven skills and interventions which could save a life—your principal’s, your partner’s, or your own.

Who Should Attend?

This course is open to all security, military, and law enforcement professionals. Allied Universal® champions diversity in the EP industry and encourages qualified individuals of all backgrounds to apply.

Learning Goals

This course focuses on understanding and application of the M.A.R.C.H. algorithm, which is a systematic approach to emergent trauma care within hazardous environments:

• (M) Massive Bleeding
• (A) Airway
• (R) Respiration
• (C) Circulation (Shock)
• (H) Head Injuries/ Hypothermia

This training provides discussion and hands-on practice of key points of performance within the MARCH algorithm, as well as the START triage system, organization of casualty collection points (CCPs), obtaining vital signs, completing casualty cards, and trauma scenario exercises.

All information is derived from U.S. Military Tactical Combat Casualty Care (TCCC/ TC3), Tactical Emergency Casualty Care (TECC), The Hartford Consensus I, II, III Document on Improving Survival from Active Shooter Events, and/ or PHTLS V9.
