Mods. We need a Medical Training section here.
This came up after someone posted in GD asking what they can do to prepare for events like what happened in Paris, when they come to the US, or any other mass casualty events.
I would also like to reach out to the other medical professionals who have EMS, Trauma, Combat Medic, and related training and experience.
I think we could collectively develop a base curriculum that would help prepare Joe public for being able to deal with these events better than just running and screaming.
Initial ideas for an outline include:
* Pre-incident threat recognition and reporting
* Pre-incident threat interference, surveillance
* Post-incident egress
* Post-incident analysis and decision matrix
* Practical urban IFAK and vehicle-borne medic bags
* Rapid triage
* Scene hand-off and coordination with EMS
* EMS assist in basic first aid and patient management
Looking forward to your ideas. Course Title would be Practical Mass Casualty Management for Citizen First Responders.
