In this episode, we aren't going to just ask and answer a bunch of questions about TC 4-02.1. No, we are going to focus on questions that are at a difficulty level that every PV2 should be able to answer.

The episode is broken into 4 chapters:

The Pre-Test

The Lesson

The Re-Test

Repetition

Feel free to jump into the Pre-Test, and if you know everything, skip to the next difficulty level. If you want to know more about a question, stick around for the Lesson, where we will teach you what everything means. Then we'll re-evaluate at the Re-Test, and help you have it down consciously and sub-consciously in the Repetition chapter.

The questions we are going over are:

What does TCCC stand for?

What are the three categories of heat injury?

What are the two methods for opening the airway?

When would you not use the head tilt/chin lift method?

What is the objective of first aid?

What publication covers first aid?

What is the treatment for shock?

What is the best medicine on the battlefield?

What is a DD Form 1380 and what is it used for?

What’s an occlusive dressing used for?

What is shock?

questions about first aid that every E 2 private second class
and above should know shortly after arriving in their first
unit each of these episodes willstart with a pretest chapter and

(00:22):
if you confidently answer every question move on to the next
most difficult episode and test yourself there.
If you didn't stick around and start the lesson chapter where
we will teach you each of the answers in the lesson phase then
the retest chapter will give youa chance to try again if you
want to solidify your answers subconsciously the repetition

(00:43):
chapter will repeat the questions and answers and you
can solidify what you've just learned by repeating them out
loud let's get started with the pretest the pretest chapter
question one? What does T triple C stand for
tactical combat casualty care question 2 what are the 3

(01:06):
categories of heat injury heat cramps heat exhaustion heat
stroke question 3 what are the 2methods for opening the airway
head tilt slash chin lift methodand jaw thrust question 4?
When would you not use the head tilt slash chin lift method

(01:30):
suspected spinal injury question5 what is the objective of first
aid to control bleeding overcomeshock relieve pain prevent
infection question 6 what publication covers first aid TC
4 to 2.1 question 7? What is the treatment for shock

(01:57):
one position the casualty on their back 2 elevate the legs 3
loosen clothing at neck or waist4 climatize 5 reassure 6 notify
medical personnel question 8 what is the best medicine on the
battlefield fire superiority question 9?

(02:23):
What is ADD form 1380 and what is it used for tactical combat
casualty care TCCC card to record injuries and treatments
performed on a patient as they move through the roles of
medical care question 10 what's an occlusive dressing used for

(02:44):
open chest wounds to prevent airentry question 11 what is shock?
A physiological response to major injury can be identified
by pale cold clammy skin shallowrapid breathing and difficulty
breathing question 12 what is a combat lifesaver a non medical

(03:10):
soldier trained for enhanced first aid question 13 what is
accp casualty collection point. The lesson chapter if you feel
confident in your answers in thepretest skip this episode and
move on to the next episode where the questions will be a
little harder if you want to learn more let's dive into the

(03:33):
lesson chapter we will ask the question again give you the
answer and then explain why thatis the correct answer and what
it actually means for you the soldier question one what does T
triple C stand for. Tactical combat casualty care
tactical combat casualty care orTCCC stands for the set of

(03:57):
medical guidelines used by military personnel to treat
casualties on the battlefield question 2 what are the 3
categories of heat injury heat cramps heat exhaustion heat
stroke the 3 categories of heat injury are heat cramps heat
exhaustion and heat stroke. Think of them as progressing in

(04:19):
severity cramps are early warning signs exhaustion is
serious and stroke is life threatening heat cramps are
caused by loss of salt through sweat and usually affect muscles
during or after exertion heat exhaustion occurs when the body
cannot cool itself adequately symptoms include heavy sweating
weakness and nausea. Heat stroke the most dangerous

(04:42):
happens when the body 's temperature regulation fails the
skin may feel hot and dry and the casualty may become confused
or unconscious a mnemonic to remember the progression is CES
cramps exhaustion stroke question 3 what are the 2
methods for opening the airway head tilt slash chin lift method

(05:04):
and jaw thrust. The 2 methods for opening the
airway are the head tilt slash chin lift and the jaw thrust the
head tilt slash chin lift is used when there is no suspected
spinal injury as it tilts the head back to clear the tongue
from the airway the jaw thrust is used when a spinal or neck
injury is suspected as it keeps the head in line while moving

(05:26):
the jaw forward to open the airway question 4 when would you
not use the head tilt slash chinlift method.
Suspected spinal injury you would not use the head tilt
slash chin lift method if you suspect a neck or spinal injury
this method could worsen the injury by moving the spine in

(05:47):
such cases use the jaw thrust technique instead which
minimizes neck movement rememberif the mechanism of injury
involves falls vehicle accidentsor blasts assume spinal injury
and use jaw thrust question 5. What is the objective of first
aid to control bleeding overcomeshock relieve pain prevent

(06:12):
infection the objective of firstaid is to preserve life prevent
further injury and promote recovery until qualified medical
personnel can take over first aid is not definitive treatment
it's immediate care to stabilizethe casualty?
In combat this may include stopping bleeding opening
Airways or treating for shock with the goal of keeping the

(06:35):
soldier alive long enough to reach a higher level of care a
useful mnemonic is the 3 PS preserve prevent promote
question 6 what publication covers first aid TC 4 to 2.1
first aid is covered in TC 4 to 2.1 titled first aid.

(06:58):
This training circular provides soldiers with guidance on how to
perform first aid on themselves fellow soldiers and others on
the battlefield it supports readiness and survival by
reinforcing life saving skills all soldiers must master
question 7 what is the treatmentfor shock one position the

(07:19):
casualty on their back 2 elevatethe legs 3 loosen clothing at
neck or waist 4. Climatize 5 reassure 6 notify
medical personnel shock is treated by improving blood flow
to vital organs and reducing stress on the body begin by

(07:40):
laying the casualty on their back unless contraindicated
elevate their legs if no spinal injuries are suspected loosen
tight clothing and keep them warm reassure the casualty and
do not give them food or drink especially if they may need
surgery. Monitor breathing and control
any bleeding shock is sneaky it can develop even if the wound

(08:01):
doesn't look severe so treating it early is key question 8 what
is the best medicine on the battlefield fire superiority the
best medicine on the battlefieldis fire superiority this means
gaining control of the fight so that medical aid can be safely
rendered no amount of first aid will help if bullets are still

(08:25):
flying. Securing the area allows for
safe casualty assessment and treatment remember the saying
you can't treat if you're still taking fire question 9 what is
ADD form 1380 and what is it used for tactical combat
casualty care TCCC card to record injuries and treatments

(08:48):
performed on a patient as they move through the roles of
medical care. ADD form 1380 or TCCC tactical
combat casualty care card is used to document injuries and
treatments given to a casualty on the battlefield it ensures a
continuity of care as the casualty moves through different
echelons of medical support the form is often attached to the

(09:11):
casualty for medics and medical providers to read think of it as
the medical handoff sheet for combat injuries question 10.
What's an occlusive dressing used for open chest wounds to
prevent air entry an occlusive dressing is used to seal open
chest wounds especially sucking chest wounds to prevent air from

(09:34):
entering the chest cavity this helps reduce the risk of a
collapsed lung tension pneumothorax the dressing is
usually non permeable and often taped on 3 sides to create a
flutter valve effect remember seal the chest to save the
breath? Question 11 what is shock a

(09:55):
physiological response to major injury can be identified by pale
cold clammy skin shallow rapid breathing and difficulty
breathing shock is a life threatening condition where the
body 's circulatory system failsto provide adequate blood flow
to the organs and tissues leading to oxygen deprivation.

(10:17):
It can be caused by blood loss trauma burns or infections signs
include pale or cool skin rapid breathing confusion and weak
pulse if untreated shock can quickly lead to death even when
the injuries don't look fatal soearly recognition and treatment
are critical think of shock as the body 's energy grid going

(10:39):
offline without quick action systems start to shut down
question 12. What is a combat lifesaver a non
medical soldier trained for enhanced first aid a combat
lifesaver CLS is a non medical soldier trained to provide
enhanced first aid beyond basic self and buddy aid CLSS bridge

(11:03):
the gap between basic care and medical personnel they are
trained to use tourniquets hemostatic agents nasopharyngeal
Airways and perform tasks such as casualty documentation?
They carry CLS bags and play a vital role in TCCC remember CLS
equals trained non medic with expanded aid skills question 13

(11:28):
what is accp casualty collectionpoint a casualty collection
point CCP is a designated location where casualties are
gathered triaged treated and prepared for evacuation.
It should be close enough to thepoint of injury for quick access
but in a relatively safe and covered area setting up an

(11:50):
effective CCP is critical in mass casualty situations or
prolonged field care think of the CCP as the emergency room of
the battlefield organized chaos where life saving efforts begin
before evacuation the retest chapter now that we have learned
each topic let's go over our answers in this retest chapter

(12:11):
