During this module, we will introduce you to the techniques for identifying and controlling massive hemorrhage. The practical application of this information and the techniques in the form of skills stations and trauma lanes will take place throughout the remainder of the course, and will be evaluated at the end of the course during your final assessment.
As a combat medic/corpsman, you are the first medical provider to care for the casualty and initiate more advanced treatments. As such, it is important that you understand the roles and responsibilities of the nonmedical personnel (ASM and CLS) that may be assessing casualties and providing care/assisting in care in the prehospital environment.
