SUMMARY OF CHANGES

This CPG was updated to include guidance for both non-medical and medical responders. Where appropriate, these two were combined.

The introduction discusses changes to the Joint Trauma Lexicon regarding the distinction between Prolonged Casualty Care (PCC) and Prolonged Field Care (PFC). The title change from Nursing Interventions in PFC to PCC reflects these changes. In addition, the title reflects the Nursing Intervention, Wound Care, and Splint Management section titles in the PCC 2.0 Guidelines.

A PFC section was added for advanced procedures to be considered by properly trained individuals - advanced medical providers in the Role 1 environment.
