Description

2-hour course going over bleeding control and shock management from gun shot wounds. We all know it can happen. Murphy’s Law has a way of popping up even with the highest safety standards. An accident on a gun range can result in major tissue injury that has the potential to cause death in less than 3 minutes. Proper care at the point of injury and expedited transportation to a trauma center can have a huge impact on whether a casualty will survive the incident. The Great Lakes Wilderness Emergency Response Training will be offering a two-hour course covering the emergency care for major bleeding and hemorrhagic shock. The participant will be issued a certificate of completion that acknowledges the attendance of the course, which will include short discussion and then practical application for tourniquet use, packing wounds, general injury care and shock management. This course will be taught by Steve Huisman. Steve is a retired Navy Chief who spent most of his military career with the Marines and ended off his time in the Navy as the Battalion Chief for the Reserve Marines here in Michigan. He has taught EMT and paramedic courses for the last 22 years and has taught TCCC while in the Navy and as a civilian. He is also a recognized expert for teaching the medical aspects for the response to an active assailant and the Rescue Task Force (RTF) concept.
