Download or read book Tactical Emergency Medical Support written by Rick Hammesfahr and published by . This book was released on 2014-01-30 with total page 284 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This manual is designed to serve as a starting point for the development and implementation of a Tactical Medical Emergency Support unit at the local level. It was originally developed for the Marietta, Georgia Special Weapons and Tactics Team and the Tactical Emergency Medical Support unit which was formed in 2005. As the TEMS unit evolved, this manual was developed. Due to demand and interest, it has been revised for more general application.The guidelines and philosophies in this manual have been developed after researching the policies of a number of different civilian departments, examining the policies and procedures currently in place for training military medical and nonmedical personnel, recognizing the limitations imposed by the Scope of Practice procedures in the State of Georgia, and recognizing the limitations of the guidelines imposed by the National Registry of Emergency Medical Technicians. The policies and procedures that follow must be individualized to allow for the local Medical Director's guidelines and to follow local Scope of Practice guidelines.The concept of Tactical Medical Emergency Protocols was developed by the Curriculum and Examination Committee of the United States Special Operations Command Surgeon General's Office for the military and has been adapted for civilian use; the Tactical Combat Casualty Care concepts were developed by the Committee on Tactical Combat Casualty Care and have been expanded upon for application by the Committee on Tactical Emergency Casualty Care; the Ranger Medic Handbook (2007) edition served as the starting point for developing the Triage recommendations, the flow charts, and the aid bag configurations; and the USAF PJ Handbook provided valuable information on environmental injuries. In addition to the Guidelines on Tactical Combat Casualty Care (TCCC), the Adult and Pediatric Guidelines on Tactical Emergency Casualty Care (TECC) are also included.Ideally, this manual will provide a starting point for further discussion and development of TEMS units, and will provide a basic framework from which these units' individual policies and procedures may be developed.
Download or read book Publications Combined Counter Narcotics and Terrorism Operational Medical Support CONTOMS TACTICAL MEDIC HANDBOOK TACTICAL EMERGENCY MEDICAL SUPPORT TEMS PROTOCOLS written by U. S. Government and published by Jeffrey Frank Jones. This book was released on with total page 349 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Disclaimer: These guidelines were developed as a reference for the Counter-Narcotics and Terrorism Operational Medical Support (CONTOMS) Program. The guidelines and protocols provided in this manual are based on the most current information available at the time of publication. Every effort has been made to ensure the accuracy of this information, but the CONTOMS Program cannot be responsible for discrepancies or typographical errors. Since medical practice is continually evolving, providers are reminded to remain cognizant of the most current practices that may revise or replace the approach adopted in this publication. Providers are also cautioned not to rely on this manual as a sole source of information about patient care, but rather to tailor their therapy to the clinical context and to consult medical control for any concerns. Foreword These protocols are issued by the Office of Health Affairs of the Department of Homeland Security (DHS). These protocols are for the use of licensed Emergency Medical Service (EMS) providers authorized to provide medical care in the Department. The protocols contained within this text are the “Standard of Care” within those areas regulated under DHS. These protocols outline and define the expected level of care that should be administered to patients treated by approved DHS EMS providers. These combined protocols create a dynamic document that must be applied relevant to individual patient presentations and situations. An individual patient may require the application of a single protocol, a portion of a protocol, or a combination of several protocols, in order to adequately treat the patient’s condition. It is the expectation of DHS OHA that providers utilize the protocols, patient assessment, and clinical findings cooperatively to establish a treatment plan for each patient. These protocols provide for patient care capabilities identified as acceptable protocols by the Office of Health Affairs and approved for adoption by DHS agency EMS programs. Program Medical Director approval and approved training and skills testing are required for these protocols to be adopted and available for use. Specific components of the protocols, therefore, may not be available to all DHS personnel. The scope of the medication and equipment is defined by operational capabilities and are approved by the Program Medical Director.

This book is a broad brush attempt to address these concerns so that law enforcement Responders and civilians working for or with law enforcement can avoid getting themselves entangled in a lawsuit of their own.For better or for worse, we live in an era in which it isn't enough for us to know how to do our jobs, we also need to know how to do our jobs without getting sued. What makes sense for our industries may set us up for liabilities in ways we hadn't even considered.REVIEWS:"The use of tactical medical responders is something new to the scene.
