Over the next three modules, we will discuss circulation assessment and management in the Tactical Field Care (TFC) setting. This module will focus on hemorrhage control while the subsequent modules will address shock and fluid resuscitation. The didactic presentation will review several hemorrhage control principles, and skills stations will provide an opportunity to get hands-on practice for the procedures you will need to master.

Some hemorrhage control principles and interventions are taught in All-Service Member or Combat Lifesaver training, so it is important to understand what their training and anticipated skill set are in order to assume care for the casualty and potentially initiate more advanced treatments.
