[QUOTE="JEVapa, post: 3790342, member: 41176"] You don't need to be a physician to be able to respond to emergency trauma correctly. It's a matter of training, primarily first responder tasks following TCCC guidelines. We call it sticks and rags because it's primarily initial assessment and noninvasive application of hemorrhage control and minor airway management, using bandages, cravats, tourniquets, OPAs, etc. and covers down on some fieldcraft implementation of these supplies/principals. TCCC was developed initially for SOF medics as a response to Mogadishu. It eventually became a standard in the Army and has transitioned to the Prehospital setting. There is this type of training all over the country, just many either don't know, or believe only a doctor or nurse can stop bleeding and plug holes. Add: TCCC focuses on Life Threats vs following an ABC (Airway, Breathing, Circulation) survey they teach in the past and many current Prehospital settings. I believe most PH treatments for trauma are moving to TCCC. NAEMT link to TCCC guidelines: [URL unfurl="true"]http://naemt.org/education/naemt-tccc/tccc-mp-guidelines-and-curriculum[/URL] This is more advanced and geared toward existing medical personnel but there are the first responder classes through various orgs and companies. Many of these have curriculum geared towards schools/teachers and folks with minimal medical knowledge. [/QUOTE]
