There are eight cognitive and five performance learning objectives for the circulation–hemorrhage control module.
The cognitive learning objectives include describing the progressive strategies and limitations of controlling external hemorrhage, identifying the signs and symptoms of pelvic fractures, and the indications, contraindications, and application methods of pelvic compression devices (PCDs), identifying the principles of wound packing and pressure bandages, identifying the indications and techniques for both tourniquet (TQ) replacement and tourniquet conversion, describing advanced hemorrhage control procedures for non-compressible torso hemorrhage, and understanding the level of evidence supporting all of these principles.
The performance learning objectives are applying both a commercially available PCD and an improvised PCD, wound packing and pressure bandage application, tourniquet replacement, and tourniquet conversion.
