What It's About

Emergencies don’t wait for medics. Whether it’s a gunshot, a car wreck, or a fall that turns bad fast — knowing what to do in those first few minutes can save a life. This class covers how to handle physical trauma, think clearly about next moves when someone is bleeding heavily, and how to apply the tools in your first aid kit the most effectively.

What we’ll cover:

Gunshot Wounds – What to do if you have been shot or are coming to the aid of someone else.

Shot placement considerations. Hollow point vs. Full Metal Jacket and injuries associated. What it means if there is or is not an exit wound.

What’s In Your First Aid Kit & 3 Must Have Items – Take a peek inside of a professional first aid kit.

Learn what to do with a chest seal and a breakdown of other items.

Tourniquet Application – See a demonstration of proper application of a tourniquet. Find out the do’s & don’ts for application, if and when damage can occur, and what kind of tourniquet to have on hand.

Bring Your Questions – Attendees will participate via the chat. You will not be video recorded. Q&A will take place as we go as well as time reserved at the end of the seminar.

The training provided by Combat First Aid-Foreman Consulting is developed from Tactical Combat Causality Care (TCCC) – military medical curriculum. This Course has been adapted using evidence-based medicine and treatment and is relevant to non-medical Civilian Immediate Responders.
