PARARESCUE MEDICATION AND PROCEDURE HANDBOOK INTRODUCTION: This handbook is designed to provide concise information regarding management of patients in austere environments. It is a quick reference and is not meant to provide detailed discussions of physiological events. You are expected to provide the standard of care for your EMT certification, including the unique skills native to Pararescue. NOTE: No handbook can anticipate every tactical and/or medical situation that might occur in a rescue. When faced with adverse situations, a PJ and his team will have to improvise, adapt, and overcome. Always keep in mind the mission, your safety, and your patient’s safety.

WORKBOOK  PATROL MEDICAL COURSE As an LRRP medic you will find yourself responsible for a variety of tasks. From the difficult but exciting task of trauma management through to the more mundane tasks of general health and hygiene. The first thing to remember is that you are attending the ISTC Medical Course to learn a skill, not to become a full time medic. It must be remembered you are a soldier first and a patrol medic in the second place. The skills you learn on this course are designed to compliment your existing skills, not replace them. As a SOF medic you will be responsible for a variety of tasks. These will include, but are not limited to: (1) The medical aspects of the premission planning. (2) Medical instruction for the rest of your patrol, i.e. first aid, health and hygiene, casualty evacuation procedures, etc. (3) Day to day health of the patrol. (4) Trauma management. (5) Medical equipment. (JANUARY 2002, 269 pages)   4. Tactical Combat Casualty Care Throughout their careers, military medical personnel may be called upon to treat trauma victims in two types of situations  in combat, and in routine life on or off military installations. This manual deals specifically with military combat trauma, and the recommendations herein apply solely to the tactical prehospital setting. Ninety per cent of combat wound fatalities die on the battlefield before reaching a medical treatment facility. This fact of war emphasizes the need for continued improvement in combat prehospital care. (21 Feb 2003 Draft, 52 pages)      Tables of contents:   1.
