We’re all thankful Charleston and the coastal areas affected by Dorian faired well through the storm! Earlier this afternoon, a contact for the Hope Town Volunteer Fire & Rescue Department sent word that they are in desperate need of supplies. We are In the works of spearheading a collection of specific medical and daily utilities they are requesting. Once we have a compiled list and a Medical Point of Contact established, we’ll start requesting every day items and OTC items as well as Items from our Partner Medical Suppliers. Please help and share. Charleston has known this devastation many times over. Let’s help our friends out In their time of need!

“If you don’t have a Response capability, you don’t have anything.”

Most institutions will spend huge amounts of money on security equipment and technology, but almost nothing on the human capability to prevent or stop an attack. What they forget is, the equipment and technology is only ever as good as the people who are using it.

An attacker will not be stopped by a camera. He will be stopped by a determined, trained human.

This week started our newest Rapid Response course. 5 years ago, the idea that you would have a response capability within your institution seemed crazy. But now, corporations as well as places of worship, and even schools have begun to recognize the need to have well trained, armed personnel protecting their people. Now, instead of cowering in the corner and being subject to the will of some evil perpetrator, these institutions are standing up and taking control of the safety of their own communities.

If you plan on doing these organizations harm, you better think twice.

An attack here won’t end well for the perpetrator.

While we are on the topic of NSAIDS (Nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs):

1.) You have decided your soldier/patient may need an NSAID. What do you use to decide between Ibuprofen, Aspirin, Naproxen or a more selective COX-2 inhibitor such as Meloxicam?

2.) What do you tell your patient(s) about taking these meds, before giving them? How long of a regiment do you give?
(Hint: Effective dosing, benefit vs. harm.)

3.) Could you give an NSAID + Acetaminophen at the same time? Never, Rarely, Sometimes? Why?

While you don’t necessarily need to know the Arachidonic acid cycle and Cyclooxygenase (COX) 1,2, or 3, you can understand that they work differently and have different side effects. This explains why some people benefit more from one and others benefit from the other choices. Know more than just names of medications and what they are generally for, that is algorithm based medicine and we are clinicians more than technicians. Know how they work and why you're using them.

💣 M - Massive Hemorrhage: Junctional Tourniquets
✔ If the bleeding site is amenable to use of a junctional tourniquet, immediately apply a CoTCCC-recommended junctional tourniquet.
✔ Do not delay in the application of the junctional tourniquet once it is ready for use.
✔ Apply hemostatic dressings with direct pressure if a junctional tourniquet is not available or while the junctional tourniquet is being readied for use.

💉 Do you practice packing a wound while having a teammate prep your junctional tourniquet?
💉 How do you teach your medics how to find landmarks for proper placement?
💉 How do you verify proper placement? Palpation of the DP pulse? Doppler on the PT pulse?

Bonus! 📸 Post pics of your training and drills!

Thoughts? What are you concerns? How would you approach this scenario?

Scenario 1 of 4: 💥 You and your team are on a mission to train and advise local forces in Northern Limaria. One of the local maintenance bays catches on fire, and like everyone else, you curiously walk over to watch it burn. While you're standing there, a Limarian soldier (and amateur firefighter) walks up to get a closer look, and this happens. 👨‍🚒

The soldier is standing upright before you, breathing is a little labored, coughing occasionally, but otherwise alert and oriented, and is responsive to all verbal commands. (🎥Watch the video for initial patient presentation) You are the only medic on the team and the highest level of care in the area. The nearest medical facility is a 150-minute flight North to Donovia.

🔥 What are your immediate concerns with regard to his presentationin this setting?
🔥 BEFORE starting any interventions, how do you begin your assessment?
🔥 What are especially important things to note on this patient that will help drive future management?

And go!

“Had a crazy one yesterday that I’ve never seen in military or law enforcement. Dispatched to a wreck called out as a (2) vehicle accident with injuries, motorcycle vs tractor. I was close luckily and an off duty fish and wildlife officer was on scene, as it happened in front of his house. Arrive on scene and found (1) victim with exposed organs, still conscious, breathing, and talking. Nothing really could be done pre-Hosptial but control his breathing and keep him calm.

No major bleeding to control and helicopter was called. Ended up loading and going in ambulance to Hosptial where they stabilized and few to local trauma center and under went surgery.”

*Important scenario*
You administer Ketamine to your patient and suddenly the SPO2 falls to 90%, 85, 80, 75...

1.) Could ketamine cause this, and how?

2.) How could we handle this? (In the field vs. hospital) What is Larson’s Maneuver?

3.) How rare is this?

If you give Ketamine, you should know this! A great scenario for seniors to train juniors, or even to talk through in a small group.

Analysis | 2018 has been deadlier for schoolchildren than service members

https://www.washingtonpost.com/news/politics/wp/2018/05/18/2018-has-been-deadlier-for-schoolchildren-than-service-members/?noredirect=on&utm_term=.894f03f42fa2

This is an unfortunate state of affairs and the numbers don't lie. There is no fix-all solution and there certainly will be an increase in these numbers as the 2018 wears on. This problem is multifaceted with a high level of complexity, but this doesn't mean that you don't have the ability to be a part of the solution. Be proactive with your family, students, and neighbors. Be proactive before these events occur is the first step. Sadly, no amount of prevent will mitigate every event, thus high quality training to respond to these events is not just a good idea, but an ABSOLUTE NECESSITY!

RR&TG offers a variety of courses geared for non-medical providers, LEO, Fire, EMS, and Military personnel to respond appropriately when these events occur. Our upcoming class on May 30th is our Community Bleeding Control course. Please take a few minutes to look at the course. As always, please comment, like and share this course with all of your friends, family, coworkers, churches, schools, and small businesses to get the word out.
