Download or read book Casualty Evacuation Atp 4 25 13 written by Department Army and published by Createspace Independent Publishing Platform. This book was released on 2017-07-12 with total page 88 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This Army techniques publication (ATP), "Casualty Evacuation" provides doctrine for conducting casualty evacuation (CASEVAC). Casualty evacuation encompasses both the evacuation of Soldiers from the point of injury or wounding to a medical treatment facility (MTF) and the coordination requirements for the use of nonmedical transportation assets to accomplish the CASEVAC mission. This publication is intended for use by all commanders and their staff involved in CASEVAC operations. For the Army, CASEVAC involves the unregulated movement of casualties using predesignated or opportune tactical or logistic aircraft and vehicles. These vehicles/rotary-wing aircraft are not staffed with medical personnel for en route care (unless augmentation is planned for in the operation plan). These vehicles/aircraft do not have organic medical equipment. If the combat medic is not available to provide care en route, the combat lifesaver (CLS) may accompany the casualties to monitor their conditions. Casualty evacuation is oftentimes the first step in a process that moves a wounded or injured Soldier from the point of wounding into the multifaceted Army Health System. Casualty evacuation can be accomplished by a variety of transportation platforms. These methods must be trained and practiced and include manual carries, litter evacuation, and the use of nonmedical vehicles. In order to determine the appropriate evacuation method, the Soldier executing the movement of the casualty must be able to determine the most effective mode of movement available to them to best meet their operational needs and the needs of the casualty. The movement of a casualty begins the evacuation chain which clears the operational area of casualties and moves the casualty through successively enhanced roles of medical care. Once the casualty is in the medical evacuation system, they receive en route medical care and emergency medical intervention, if required; this enhances the Soldier's prognosis and can reduce long-term disability. Upon arrival at an MTF the patient continues through the Army Health System until he is treated and released or continues through the Army Health System for more definitive care in the continental U.S.

This book was released on 2010-10-20 with total page 417 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Medical support for special weapons and tactics (SWAT) units is different from civilian EMS in many ways.

Mastery of these skills requires extensive, specialized tactical emergency medical services (TEMS) training and experience in the tactical environment. Designed for EMS and medical professionals of all levels of training, Tactical Medicine Essentials provides the foundation needed to create world-class TMPs. Written by an experienced team of authors from diverse backgrounds, this text covers the essential curriculum of tactical medicine, including tactical patient assessment, expedient extrication and evacuation, and self-defense skills.

Download or read book Sustainment ADP 4 0 written by Headquarters Department of the Army and published by Lulu.com. This book was released on 2019-10-09 with total page 84 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The doctrine discussed in this manual is nested with ADP 3-0, Operations, and describes the sustainment warfighting function. The endurance of Army forces is primarily a function of their sustainment and is essential to retaining and exploiting the initiative. Sustainment provides the support necessary to maintain operations until mission accomplishment. The relationship between sustainment and operation is depicted in introductory figure-1 on page vi.Sustainment must be integrated and synchronized with operations at every level to include those of our joint and multinational partners. Sustainment depends on joint and strategic links for strategic airlift, sealift, intratheater airlift, and strategic and theater-level supply support. Sustainment depends on our host nation (HN) partners to provide infrastructure and logistics support necessary to ensure both maneuver forces and followon sustainment are delivered to right place, at the right time, and in an operable condition.

This book was released on 2018-10-09 with total page 996 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Almost 1,000 total pages; see index at beginning of publications for a complete list of included CPGs. Each CPG includes a section on the following: 1. GOAL 2. BACKGROUND 3. EVALUATION 4. TREATMENT 5. PERFORMANCE IMPROVEMENT (PI) MONITORING 6. SYSTEM REPORTING & FREQUENCY 7. RESPONSIBILITIES & 8. REFERENCES. OVERVIEW Clinical Practice Guidelines (CPGs) are the backbone of the system-wide JTS Performance Improvement program. Health data abstracted from patient records and after action reports is analyzed and distilled into globally relevant CPGs to remove medical practice variations and prevent needless deaths. The CPGs compiled from DoDTR data and used by healthcare providers worldwide are largely responsible for the decreased Case Fatality Rate for the wars in Iraq and Afghanistan. Examples are better transfusion practices; reduced burn morbidity and mortality; near elimination of extremity compartment syndrome; better patient care documentation; and improved communication across the spectrum of care between geographically dispersed facilities. CPGs are evidence-based and developed with experts in the military and civilian communities, deployed clinicians, Service trauma/surgical consultants, JTS leadership and formerly deployed Trauma Directors and Coordinators. JTS has a formalized process for developing, reviewing, updating, and approving CPGs. The guidelines are developed and implemented by clinical subject matter experts in response to needs identified in the military area of responsibility. CPGs were developed originally for U.S. Central Command. However, collaborative efforts are ongoing with the other Combatant Commands to customize CPGs to their COCOMs. INTRODUCTION TO THE JOINT TRAUMA SYSTEM (JTS) The Joint Trauma System (JTS) is the Department of Defense (DoD) authority for the military’s trauma care system. The vision of the Joint Trauma System is that every Soldier, Sailor, Marine and Airman injured on the battlefield will have the optimum chance for survival and maximum potential for functional recovery. To achieve this vision, in 2006, the JTS implemented programs for data -driven trauma system development and improvement in addition to the collection of trauma data. As part of its data collection efforts, the JTS maintains a registry of trauma patients who received care at medical treatment facilities (MTFs). Since 2007, this registry – known as the DoD Trauma Registry (DoDTR) – has documented demographic, injury, treatment, and outcomes data for all trauma patients admitted to any DoD MTF, regardless of whether the injury occurred during on-going military operations, and is the largest military trauma data source in the world. Development of the DoDTR began during the early years of the Global War on Terror (GWoT) when the need to systematically improve trauma care for combat wounded resulted in the impromptu creation of a demonstration registry, known then as the Combat Trauma Registry (CTR). The CTR was constructed by the Center for AMEDD Strategic Studies (CASS); trauma-related information was initially abstracted into it from paper medical records received from trauma nurse coordinators (TNCs) at Landstuhl Regional Medical Center (LRMC) in Germany. Shortly after the demonstration program started, the Army Surgeon General approved its transition to an operational mode, leading to the formation of the Joint Theater Trauma System (JTTS) and, eventually, the Joint Trauma System (JTS).
