Seconds to Save a Life: Why TCCC Matters – Tier 1 – You are in a SAFE and SECURE location – The primary learning objective is to show you how quickly traumatic injuries can kill a person, and to provide an overview of Tactical Combat Casualty Care (TCCC). The estimated time to complete this scenario is 5 minutes. This scenario occurs in the Tactical Field Care Phase. Equipment Available: None. Evacuation/Disposition is possible through the tablet. Selecting the patient’s disposition will end the exercise. (Scenario 001)
DISCLAIMER/WARNING: For some people witnessing a patient die (even if virtual) can be triggering and cause feelings of stress, anxiety, and other powerful responses. If this concerns you, please STOP and discuss the best way to proceed with your facilitator.
Dynamic Physiology Disclaimer:
To obtain the most accurate and effective training experience, we recommend completing each scenario in one uninterrupted session. The virtual patients used in this training are powered by highly realistic physiological models that continuously adjust vital signs and overall condition. The scenarios have been modified to give you time to review instructional materials, and you will not lose points for delays in scenarios with instructional content. However, it is still possible that, depending on your completion pace, the scenario may not progress in perfect alignment with the guided prompts, and for critically injured patients, even moderate delays may result in deterioration or death before the scenario concludes. This is not meant to indicate you did not perform well; rather, it is because of how the high-fidelity engine performs.
Ongoing Development Disclaimer: In this package wording has not been updated to reflect new functionality to time and date tourniquets or for the non-adhesive burn bandage functionality. Additionally, it is possible other small updates or changes are not reflected in the wording. All grading is set to the current standard described in this package.
