Description:

When the equipment is low and the threat is high, “ditch medicine” is what you have to do when there’s no other choice and the stakes are life and death.

Utilizing concepts based on emergency medical field procedures currently in use and taught by US Navy corpsman and US Army medics, and developed in coordination with medical professionals, this class gives you simple concepts and easy-to-remember tasks using readily-available supplies that can save the life of a gunshot-, stabbing-, or accident victim. 

These are simply must-know skills if there is any chance you could find yourself or someone you love in a self-defense scenario, “active killer” attack, car wreck, violent civil unrest, or some other kind of mass casualty critical incident due to accidents, terrorism, or natural disasters.

You will Learn and Practice:

• How to properly and quickly apply a tourniquet to yourself and others for extremity bleeding.
• How to properly use pressure bandages and wound-packing for junctional bleeding injuries.
• How to help prevent or relieve tension pneumothorax due to penetrating wounds to the chest or abdomen.
• How to manage the airway of a critically wounded person
• ”Care Under Fire” Treatments of Critical Injuries
• ”Tactical Field Care” Treatments of Critical Injuries
• Triage in mass casualty incidents
• …and there is a lot more.
