TCCC Guidelines for Medical Personnel - 15 December 2021, 19 pages 3. JTS Clinical Practice Guidelines, 2,260 total pages - current as of 19 September 2023: INTRODUCTION The SMOG continues to go through significant improvements with each release as a result of the collaboration of Emergency Medicine professionals, experienced Flight Medics, Aeromedical Physician Assistants, Critical Care Nurses, and Flight Surgeons. There has been close coordination in the development of these guidelines by the Joint Trauma System, and the Defense Committees on Trauma. Our shared goal is to ensure the highest quality en route care possible and to standardize care across all evacuation and emergency medical pre-hospital units. It is our vision that all of these enhancements and improvements will advance en route care across the services and the Department of Defense. Unit medical trainers and medical directors should evaluate Critical Care Flight Paramedics (CCFP) ability to follow and execute the medical instructions herein. These medical guidelines are intended to guide CCFPs and prehospital professionals in the response and management of emergencies and the care and treatment of patients in both garrison and combat theater environments. Unit medical providers are not expected to employ these guidelines blindly. Unit medical providers are expected to manipulate and adjust these guidelines to their unit’s mission and medical air crew training / experience. Medical directors or designated supervising physicians should endorse these guidelines as a baseline, appropriately adjust components as needed, and responsibly manage individual unit medical missions within the scope of practice of their Critical Care Flight Paramedics, Enroute Critical Care Nurses, and advanced practice aeromedical providers. The medication section of this manual is provided for information purposes only. CCFPs may administer medications only as listed in the guidelines unless their medical director and/or supervising physician orders a deviation. Other medications may be added, so long as the unit supervising physician and/or medical director approves them. This manual also serves as a reference for physicians providing medical direction and clinical oversight to the CCFP. Treatment direction, which is more appropriate to the patient’s condition than the guideline, should be provided by the physician as long as the CCFP scope of practice is not exceeded. Any medical guideline that is out of date or has been found to cause further harm will be updated or deleted immediately. The Medical Evacuation Concepts and Capabilities Division (MECCD) serves as the managing editor of the SMOG and are responsible for content updates, managing the formal review process, and identifying review committee members for the annual review. The Standard Medical Operating Guidelines are intended to provide medical procedural guidance and is in compliment to other Department of Defense and Department of the Army policies, regulatory and doctrinal guidance. Nothing herein overrides or supersedes laws, rules, regulation or policies of the United States, DoD or DA.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The United States Air Force (USAF) aeromedical evacuation system, under the command and control of Air Mobility Command (AMC), has a large inventory of medical equipment items that are procured for use on military aircraft. The items must have the capability to be adequately secured within the aircraft, in most cases in the immediate vicinity of the patient. Aeromedical research technicians from the Armstrong Laboratory, Aeromedical Research Function have designed several devices that may be effectively used for securing many of the various medical equipment items likely to be brought aboard the aircraft. It was concluded that there is a slight potential for hazard presented by the protruding thumbscrews on the original Horton Bracket, and it is relatively heavy. The Waters Bracket will probably require relatively high fabrication cost due to design complexity, and also cannot be used on C-130 aircraft. However, provided the devices are fabricated and used as specified in this report, all 5 devices are safe and an effective means for securing selected aeromedical evacuation medical equipment items.

This book was released on 2008 with total page 50 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The U.S. Air Force Medical Support Agency Surgeon General Support Logistics Office requested Naval Health Research Center conduct a proof-of-concept study to assess the validity and feasibility of using NHRC's medical modeling tool the Estimating Supplies Program (ESP) for the development and management of Air Force medical Allowance Standards as a baseline for standardization throughout the services. The primary objective of this study was to provide the Air Force with the ability to validate the clinical requirements of the Aeromedical Evacuation In-Flight Kit. The Air Force Allowance Standard addresses the equipment medicines consumables and durables required for an Aeromedical Evacuation Crew mission. The method is to create an appropriate patient stream consisting of injuries and illnesses likely to be managed as set out in the mission Concept of Operation of this Unit Type Code. Using the relational database clinical tasks can be mapped to each condition. Once the tasks and patient conditions (PCs) are mapped to one another supplies can be associated to tasks and the lists of equipment medications durables and consumables can be assessed for suitability. A subject matter expert panel reviews and evaluates each step of this process to ensure every inventory line item meets operational and clinical needs. The ESP database of medical task and supply profiles was used as a template to identify PCs appropriate to this capability and to match supplies to clinical tasks medical equipment.

This book was released on 1999-12-01 with total page 134 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This research examines the Air Force Aeromedical Evacuation, Patient Movement Items (PMI) Program. This thesis analyzes the primary question of cost savings or equipment deferment based on projected casualty rates. It uses a simple linear program, focused on minimizing beginning inventory, and maps an optimal order plan based on manufacturer capacity and lead time. This thesis suggest updating demand requirements for variability from projected demand using an exponentially weighted moving average calculation. This thesis illustrates that initial deferment can generate substantial savings. This thesis recommends increasing readiness capabilities and cost avoidance by implementing the deferment plan. This thesis recommends additional areas of further research to include consolidating patient movement and inventory tracking systems and utilizing advanced simulation software to determine medical requirements in theaters of operation. These initiatives, if analyzed more thoroughly, could provide DoD policy makers clearer insight for potential system-wide savings.
