BEGIN:VCALENDAR TZID:America/Chicago BEGIN:VEVENT CLASS:PUBLIC CREATED:20260513T065216 DESCRIPTION:TACTICAL EMERGENCY CASUALTY CARE APPLIED SKILLS DAY\n\n\n\nThis course is designed to take the student through all phases of the principles and approaches of Tactical Emergency Casualty Care (TECC). \n\nThrough hands-on interactions and interventions, our instruction methods will better link your skills together, and expand them to prepare you for other injuries that you  may encounter in real-life.\n\nAs situations both locally and abroad become more intense, individuals must know how to conduct various threat assessme\n\nnts while dealing with an injured person(s). \n\nIn this course, we will put you “in the fight” and teach you to work through various life or death situations that require you to link the TECC skills with changing “threat” situations to prepare you for the worst.   \n\nThis is a dynamic class combining Emergency Casualty Care training with disabled/disadvantage shooting positions and evolving threat scenarios.  Here, we focus on the abrupt focus shifts that can be required in transitions from Indirect Threat Care, back into Direct Threat Care, and the rapid movement into Evacuation Care and Hand-off. \n\nThere is NO requirement for students to live fire in this class, but the opportunity is\nprovided for those that want to hone their under-stress response skills. \n\nThe course is open to all experienced practitioners.  \n\nWhat is unique about high threat medical principles is less about what is done medically and more about when it is done - what injuries are focused on, and what can be excluded in an unstable environment.\nTECC has applications for ALL high-risk operations, where there is a real and on-going\nrisk to both the patient and provider. Examples of high-risk operations include, but are not limited to:\n\nSuccessful students will learn how to apply life-saving trauma skills in all phases of casualty care, and how to perform rapid trauma assessments. \n\nThey must have previously completed an ACS Stop the Bleed Certification or an Introduction to TECC. \n\nTactical Emergency Casualty Care (TECC) is the civilian evolution and application of the\nmilitary Tactical Combat Casualty Care guidelines (TCCC). \n\nMilitary units that have trained all of their members in TCCC have documented the lowest incidence of preventable deaths among their casualties in the history of modern warfare. TCCC-based pre-hospital trauma training is now becoming widespread in the US civilian sector as well. \n\nOverall, the principles of TECC are not difficult to learn – the actual medical interventions such as pressure dressings, wound packing, tourniquets, and chest seals are now commonplace for everyday trauma.\n\nAlthough the word ‘tactical’ in common use implies law enforcement associated operations, every first responder utilizes ‘tactics’ on every call every day. The word tactical also refers to operational decisions that are made during response.  Every one of these operational\ndecisions has an effect on medical care and the competing priorities of operations and\nmedical care need to be considered in real time. TECC allows you to do just this.\n\n***We are proud to be a Committee for Tactical Emergency Casualty Care Educational\nPartner and a Member of the Tactical Medical Solutions Associate Trainers Program.\n\nREQUIRED EQUIPMENT:\n\n\n DTEND:20260726T170000Z DTSTAMP:20260513T065216 DTSTART:20260726T100000 LAST-MODIFIED:20091109T101015 LOCATION:Strategic Weapons Academy of Texas HQ, 1045 Cutoff Rd, , Texas, 75119 SUMMARY;LANGUAGE=en-us:Tactical Emergency Casualty Care Applied Skills Day BEGIN:VALARM TRIGGER:-PT1440M ACTION:DISPLAY DESCRIPTION:Reminder END:VALARM END:VEVENT END:VCALENDAR
