¿Enfatiza usted la Atención bajo fuego y las paradas de seguridad en su capacitación TCCC? / Do you emphasize Care Under Fire and Security Halts in your TCCC training?

Do you emphasize Care Under Fire and Security Halts in your TCCC training? How many times do you or your medics have to do a short security halt and then keep moving with a patient in some of your lanes? Poll below before reading the remainder🗳️ 👇🏻 

    There are a few reasons to incorporate multiple stops into training, once your medics have strong foundations. (Recent article on our website by @disaster.vii discusses why you shouldn’t do too much, too soon.) 🏃🏼🧎🏼🏃🏼🧎🏼🏃🏼🧎🏼🏃🏼🧎🏼

     Some TCCC lanes can be a brisk 2-3 minute CUF scenario where they run 30 feet away and then sit on their butt safe and do medicine in what should practically be a hospital clinic it’s so safe. 🛌 💤 

  However, incorporating multiple short stops does a few things. It helps the medic understand that the tactical situation takes precedence and they MUST adhere to time hacks given by leadership (and/or medical instructor.) This is more important and saves more lives than the tunnel vision of wanting do all 37 things a patient needs in situations where we can’t provide it all. 🤹🏻

    This also stresses priorities of work. During a lane with little to no stops, you can somewhat “afford” to not be quick or know what comes next. With multiple short stops, such as 2-3 minutes, the medic MUST know exactly what they must do and prioritize before the litter is even set down, get to work and package patient before next time hack. ⌛️ 

     Which reminds me…. What do you do if the medic you are teaching isn’t making time hacks you give them in training? ⏱️ 🤔
