This course is five (5) hours in-length suitable for everyone who is wanting a medical course in controlling trauma bleeding. This class is taught by a certified EMT (Bio below).
Certificates from both USCCA and American College ofSurgeons. There is a lot of hands-on in this class; Tourniquets (TQ), Chest Seals, and Wound Packing.
This is NOT your standard First-Aid Class. If you can make ahole in someone, you need to be able to plug/patch a hole in someone ... who could be YOU or YOUR family member.
LOTS OF HANDS-ON: TQsare applied on self and each other; when there is no "blood"
squirting and when there is (using water). Applying TQ in lowlight on extremities (arms & legs).
Chest Seals are applied to a realistic wound that hassimulated blood oozing out of it. How to prepare to apply and applying an actual chest seal. Wound Packing is done with real clotting gauze using simulated blood which can clot.
You will feel what it is like and see the results of yourapplication of the skills you are learning.
We also cover what to consider when building your own Traumaor Trauma/First-Aid Kit (Bag).
There are a lot of items handed out that are part of theclass. Available for purchase: USCCA Emergency First Aid Fundamentals Books and we plan to have personal trauma kits with quality gear.
On a nice day we may conduct the wound packing outdoors. Allfake blood used washes out of your clothing if any happens to get on them.
