Contractor/Instructors will teach immediate response procedures including currently fielded hemostatic products. The tactical care exercise will include live tissue ballistic and blast injury casualties incorporated into unit specific tactical scenarios under unit leadership. 3.4.1Live tissue training and knowledge of ballistic injuries are unique requirements of operator preparation which significantly benefit special operations units. Due to size, muscle distribution, and anatomy, porcine models are the best model for human trauma, particularly in regards to ballistic injury. Incorporating live tissue training into tactical scenarios is the highest standard of casualty response preparedness. 3.5Description of Work to be Performed: 3.5.1Management of Hemorrhage – Practical exercises throughout the exercise will enhance operator confidence and understanding of the principles of managing blood loss in the tactical environment. 3.5.2Airway Management – The focus of this instruction is designed to establish the early recognition and intervention of respiratory distress. The tools available to the operator are limited; however, the management of airway obstruction must not be overlooked in the immediate actions for casualty care. Airway management is the second priority for the management of battlefield casualties and quick recognition of the signs and symptoms associated with obstruction and distress are vital to the immediate outcome of the casualty. Practical exercises are designed to provide the basic skills of airway management with respect to the phases of casualty care, and include the discussion of airway adjuncts and the performance of the various improvised and practiced techniques. 3.5.3Chest Injury Management – Techniques for the management of life threatening chest injuries are discussed and performed along with the observation and participation in the reduction of a tension pneumothorax injury. The ability to recognize casualties who ar suffering from respiratory distress in the field and provide the competency to perform emergent intervention and subsequent management. 3.5.4Abdominal Injury Management – The ability to practice and build confidence in the manipulation and treatment of a live abdominal injury is unmatched. The live tissue model provides the feedback necessary for the Special Operator to understand and develop competent skills for the management of abdominal injuries using improvised and practiced techniques. 3.5.5Combat Injury Management Exercise – This exercise is a culmination of all the previous skills learned. Attendees are presented with the treatment of multiple critically injured patients in the field. Injuries representative of true combat modalities are presented (e.g. ballistic, blast, fragmentation, etc).
