Eric Dowell, 325th MDG NCOIC of education and training, described TCCC as SABC “on steroids.” Since TCCC has been developed, the U.S. While SABC and TCCC are both designed to provide immediate care, Staff Sgt. I will work with you until you pass and have the necessary skills.” “Personally, I think you learn more from a hands-on environment versus written training. “My favorite part of training TCCC is the hands-on skills training,” Vicks continued. Aside from some instructional videos, TCCC is primarily taught hands-on. There’s no point in treating hypothermia if someone dies from blood loss.”Īnother change associated with the switch to TCCC is the teaching style. “Because people can die from massive bleeding and hemorrhages at a faster rate, that needs to be addressed first. “The five skills associated with TCCC are ‘M’ for massive bleeding, ‘A’ for airway and resuscitation, ‘R’ for respiration, ‘C’ for circulation and ‘H’ for hypothermia,” Vicks added. MARCH helps members remember which order to provide care to increase the chances of survivability. Because of this, TCCC trainers use the acronym “MARCH” when teaching the necessary life-saving skills. Looking at previous versions of pre-hospital care, it shows massive hemorrhages are the leading cause of preventable deaths across the Department of Defense. This allows the average Airman the ability to provide a basic level of life-saving care.” “It’s not just because this can be better used in real-world scenarios, but because there may not always be medics available. “Switching to TCCC gives us a wider variety of skills that can be utilized on the battlefield,” said Senior Airman Bertrand Vicks, 325th Fighter Wing safety technician. The actions of first responders or a fellow wingman are often the difference between life or death after an Airman is injured on the battlefield. After evaluating the numbers, TCCC is shown to save more lives.” “They do research and compare it to (previous wartimes).
