You are near the frontline while the rest of your team is engaged in a firefight. A casualty has just been dragged into your treatment area with no major interventions performed. The patient was injured 20 minutes ago by a blast. It is freezing out, but the patient doesn’t seem to notice.The casualty has already been triaged for immediate care, and weapons and equipment have been removed.
Your team is providing security, leaving you as the only person available to treat the casualty.
You have equipment commonly found in a medic aid bag, including a unit of low titer O+ whole blood. Your task is to rapidly assess the casualty and perform all indicated TCCC Tier 3-level interventions.
Once you have completed all necessary care, select the appropriate disposition using your tablet to end the scenario.
