The 2nd edition of NAEMT’s Tactical Emergency Casualty Care (TECC) course teaches EMS practitioners and other prehospital providers how to respond to and care for patients in a civilian tactical environment.<\/p>\n

The course presents the three phases of tactical care and integrates parallel EMS nomenclature:<\/p>\n

    \n
  • Hot Zone\/Direct Threat Care that is rendered while under attack or in adverse conditions.<\/li>\n
  • Warm Zone\/Indirect Threat Care that is rendered while the threat has been suppressed but may resurface at any point.<\/li>\n
  • Cold Zone\/Evacuation Care that is rendered while the casualty is being evacuated from the incident site.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n

    The 16-hour classroom course includes all new patient simulations and covers the following topics:<\/p>\n

      \n
    • Hemorrhage control including immediate action drills for tourniquet application throughout the course;<\/li>\n
    • Complete coverage of the MARCH assessment;<\/li>\n
    • Surgical airway control and needle decompression;<\/li>\n
    • Strategies for treating wounded responders in threatening environments;<\/li>\n
    • Caring for pediatric patients;<\/li>\n
    • Techniques for dragging and carrying victims to safety; and<\/li>\n
    • A final, mass-casualty\/active shooter event simulation.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n

      NAEMT’s TECC course is endorsed by the American College of Surgeons Committee on Trauma, is consistent with the current guidelines established by the Committee on TECC (Co-TECC), and meets all of the updated National Tactical Emergency Medical Support Competency Domains. This course is accredited by CAPCE for 16 hours of continuing education credit, and recognized by NREMT.<\/p>\n

      NAEMT is a recognized education partner of the Co-TECC. The Co-TECC establishes guidelines for the provision of prehospital care to injured patients during a tactical incident. The Co-TECC neither creates curriculum for the prehospital provider, nor does it endorse the curriculum of other organizations.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div>
