The following article: University of Arizona Tactical Emergency Casualty Care Course was first seen on ICSAVE.org

November 23rd -24th, the University of Arizona Emergency Medical Services (UAEMS) and University of Arizona Police Department (UAPD) hosted a National Association of Emergency Medical Technician (NAEMT) Tactical Emergency Casualty Care (TECC) Course.  Sponsored by Integrated Community Solutions to Active Violence Events (ICSAVE), the course brought together over 76 active and future public safety and healthcare professionals from throughout Central and Southern Arizona. The 16-hour course covered topics designed to decrease preventable death in the tactical situation. Topics included: Hemorrhage control; surgical airway control and needle decompression; strategies for treating wounded responders in threatening environments; caring for pediatric patients; and techniques for dragging and carrying victims to safety. Developed by NAEMT’s Prehospital Trauma Life Support (PHTLS) Committee, the TECC program is based on the guidelines from the Committee on Tactical Emergency Casualty Care (Co-TECC) and the Tactical Combat Casualty Care (TCCC) program. TECC uses lessons learned from our military and applies them to the civilian world of tactical medicine. Thank you to all that attended!

Dodge Middle School Educators Our Newest Community Lifesavers!

Pima County residents now have 30 more trained and certified immediate responders among our ranks! On Wednesday, November 20th, these dedicated Tucson Unified School District professionals met at Dodge Traditional Magnet Middle School and completed the necessary educational requirements to obtain American College of Surgeon’s Bleeding Control Certification. Civilians need basic training in Bleeding Control principles so they can provide immediate, frontline aid until first responders can take over care of an injured person. Due to many situations, there may be a delay between the time of injury and the time a first responder is on the scene. Without civilian intervention in these circumstances, preventable deaths may occur. Although no single set of skills or response can fit all injury, trauma, or active violence situations, making sure everyone knows his or her options and can react decisively will save valuable time and lives. As members of our extended community family, these exceptional men and women now have the knowledge, skills, and abilities to help save a life! [embed]https://youtu.be/TR-xA4A8dl0[/embed]

This particular article: Saint Elizabeth Ann Seton Junior High Students Ready to Protect the Flock! was first found on ICSAVE.org

Since 2013, there have been over 434 school shootings in America - an average of nearly one per week.  On Tuesday, November 19th, 84 junior high school students and staff from Saint Elizabeth Ann Seton Catholic School & Church received the knowledge, skills and abilities to better survive an active killer event. Conducted by Integrated Community Solutions to Active Violence Events (ICSAVE) and the Arizona Church Security Network, ALICE (Alert, Lockdown, Inform, Counter, Evacuate) is a set of proactive, options-based strategies, that increase church members’ chances of survival and bridge the gap between the time a violent event begins and law enforcement arrives. These participants learned and experienced the decisive advantages of proactive vs. passive response strategies via numerous live scenario drills and Bleeding Control interventions and are now empowered to help save lives!
