There are five cognitive and nine performance learning objectives for the Massive Hemorrhage Control module. The cognitive learning objectives are to identify:
- Life-threatening hemorrhage (bleeding)
- The importance of early application of limb tourniquets to control life-threatening bleeding
- Anatomical sites for applying direct and indirect pressure to control bleeding
- Risks associated with applying an improvised limb tourniquet
- The principles of wound packing
The performance learning objectives are to demonstrate:
- The evaluation of previously applied tourniquets for hemorrhage control effectiveness
- The appropriate application of a CoTCCC-recommended limb tourniquet
- The application of an improvised limb tourniquet
- The application of a CoTCCC-recommended hemostatic dressing
- Wound packing and application of a pressure bandage
- Improvised junctional hemorrhage control with a hemostatic dressing and direct pressure
- The application of a CoTCCC-recommended junctional tourniquet
- The application of an injectable hemostatic agent
- The application of a wound closure device
