NAEMT's Tactical Emergency Casualty Care (TECC) teaches EMS practitioners and other prehospital providers how to respond to and care for patients in a civilian tactical environment. It is designed to decrease preventable deaths in a tactical situation. The course presents the three phases of tactical care:
-
Direct Threat Care that is rendered while under attack or in adverse conditions.
-
Indirect Threat Care that is rendered while the threat has been suppressed, but may resurface at any point.
-
Evacuation Care that is rendered while the casualty is being evacuated from the incident site.
The 16-hour classroom course covers the following topics:
-
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.
