      A reasonably good introduction to the principles and guidelines of TECC, however it needs to be updated to reflect changes.

    Tactical Emergency Casualty Care Field Guide - Rogue Medical

    The information in this book is meant to supplement, not replace, proper emergency medical training. Like any emergency response involving speed, equipment, skills and environmental factors, operating as an emergency responder poses some inherent risk. The authors and publisher advise readers to take full responsibility for their safety and know their limits. Before practicing the skills described in this book, be sure that your equipment is well maintained, and do not take risks beyond your level of certification, experience, aptitude, training, and comfort.

    DEDICATION

    Dedicated to those who serve the public and run into the fray to protect life and maintain order.

    ACKNOWLEDGMENTS

    We would like to thank the C-TECC committee for answering the need for a widely accessible program to implement tactical operations procedures in an easy to learn and apply format for civilian responders.

    History of Combat Medical Care

    Medical care on the battlefield can be traced all the way back through history. Initially care was provided by family, friends, and local healers after the battle was over. Infection control to ensure survival was the only focus. The Greeks documented infection control experiments and amputation of injured, septic limbs post battle as early as 440 BCE.

    Antiseptic technique was implemented by British surgeons in the mid 1800s to prevent the spread of infection and germs between patients, however the advanced medical training and techniques did not cross into the colonies as people fled Europe for a new life.

    ––––––––

    Most Revolutionary War physicians were not formally trained and a very select few had been medical apprentices. There were only two medical schools in the whole country at that time. The U.S. Soldiers were subjected to incompetent and disorganized medical care that resulted in further casualty. The Continental Congress implemented the Hospital Department for the Army in 1775 in hopes of reducing the mortality rate of injured soldiers.

    ––––––––

    Unfortunately, the medical treatment for injured soldiers did not improve until the Civil War 78 years later when rescue, evacuation and trauma surgery were being developed on the battlefield. Surgical patients were given anesthesia, anti-infective topical treatments to prevent gangrene and orthopedic repairs in lieu of amputation when possible; however with the high
