Tactical Combat Casualty Care 20 hour intensive
Hazardous materials training has been a passion for us at STCI since the beginning. In 1993 we where contracted to preform some HazWOpER refresher training. We discussed the mission of the personnel needing the training as well as the foundation training they had received. We customized a refresher training based on the knowledge, skills and abilities needed to be refreshed as well as the regulatory mandated topics as well. Sounds logical, sure. Recently one of the STCI team attended an 80 hour initial training only to nd out that nearly no equipment was available for the training, even worse was the fact that the equipment needed to preform prociencies was not available.

PRACTICAL HAZMAT TRAINING REQUIRES EQUIPMENT

Ever attend training only to listen to someone talk about war stories and seemingly never get to the meat of the subject matter. Usually with the excuse of if we had the equipment then we would...
When scheduling your initial or refresher training ask the hard questions. What is the schedule of events for the training? What are the qualications of the instructors? What equipment will you be needing or bringing with you for the initial or refresher training? Hazmat training is logistically intensive. Its not cheap nor easy. If your instructor(s) are showing up with the ability to carry everything for class under their arms with no help - you are not meeting the needs of your HazWOpER and emergency response personnel.

Pay attention! It may save a life in a few hours.

Recently the STCI team delivered a 20 hour TacMedic: Tactical Combat Casualty Care Course. A few days after the course we received this email about the training and its usefulness on the next duty shift for one of the participants. His name and agency have been redacted only to protect the identity of the victim however we did obtain permission to print the email. This is why we work so hard in training our nations elite teams. Great job Captain! -Dear Gentlemen, I am writing to thank you for coming to XX Fire to provide our SWAT Medic team the TCCC course and to report that only one day after attending the course I was able to put the skills I learned in your course to use in a critical situation. I thoroughly enjoyed the TCCC course and thought the instructors were knowledgeable, skilled and experienced. The classroom and skills stations were excellent, and though I have been involved in EMS for 20 years I picked up tips from your instructors that have already helped me become more procient as a medic. The hands on scenario at the conclusion of the course provided for an extremely valuable experience. It was designed to provide students the opportunity to pull together all the skills learned in the course and apply them in a highstress environment while simultaneously experiencing sensory overload. Training in this stressful environment to perform rapid assessments and immediately react to save a life was extremely benecial. Only one day after attending TCCC I was working my normal re department shift when my company was called to respond to a person struck by a train. The call came into our station in the early morning hours while it was still dark outside. On arrival, we found the patient unresponsive but still breathing. Instinctively I put my TCCC skills to use. On rapid assessment of the patient, I found the patient had a large open chest wound which required six (debrillation) pads to seal (a tip from TCCC instructors). The patient also

required bleeding control, bilateral chest decompressions, uids and warming. With treatment the patient immediately improved with O2 (saturation) going from the low 70 s up to the high 90 s. Although this was not a tactical situation, the skills I learned at TCCC combined with the condence gained in the course proved to be invaluable just one day after the course. Having TCCC skills in my tool box allowed me to rapidly make treatment decisions and perform advanced life saving skills without hesitation. I look forward to training with your organization in the future. On last check our patient was alive, and in the surgical intensive care unit! Thank You! XX, Captain XX Fire Department

TCCC

Tactical Combat Casualty Care (20 hour)This course provides the emergency responder with medical specific performance offensive skills related to emergency medical care in tactical and austereenvironments. Successful completion of the two-day Tactical Combat Casualty Care (TCCC) Course results in an emergency responder already proficient at performing lifesaving procedures,conducting TCCC procedures quicker and to a higher standard under simulated tactical / austere scenarios which are more stressful, and more challenging than is available with conventional civilian Emergency Medical Service (EMS) training or experience. This course reinforces trauma skills that will allow them to perform with greater accuracy, skill, and confidence if faced with treating patients in a gambit of austere environments (CBRNE event, Suicide Bomber, IED, active shooter, etc). The course culminates with a scenariooriented, task-driven practical exercise utilizing performancelevel skills in response to a terrorist or military related setting.
