It is known that up to 28% of combat deaths and 20% of civilian trauma deaths are potentially preventable with optimal emergency and trauma care.

The lifesaving skills that you will learn during this course will prepare you to care for casualties at the point of injury and help to keep them alive long enough for help to arrive.

The five lifesaving skills you will learn are: rapid casualty assessment, tourniquet application, wound packing with a hemostatic dressing, application of a pressure bandage, and basic airway maneuvers to open the airway.
