Tier 3 Practice Pack 004

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 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. You do not have anymore supraglottic airway devices.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.
