The Harvard Sportsmen’s Club Scholastic Steel Challenge (SSC) Program has arranged for an advanced first aid class for the SSC team. Tactical Paramedics designed this course for Coaches, Instructors, ROs, and shooters -- everyone responsible for range safety. We have some seats available, and we'd like to open the class to the NES membership.
Shooter’s First Aid Course
5/28/11, 8:30-6, at Harvard Sportsmen’s Club
Cost: $200/person, $300 for a parent/child pair.
This includes 1Trauma Kit per student.
Additional Trauma Kits: $100 each.
Course capacity is 20 students.
If you’re interested, please PM coachjpg.
Please specify if you’re interested in the 5/28 class, or if you can't make that date and are interested in a future class. If we have the demand, we’ll offer the class several times.
This course focuses on keeping a trauma victim alive until EMS arrives. Students will receive CPR certification, First Aid certification, a compact, vacuum-sealed Trauma Kit, and the training necessary to use everything in that kit properly and effectively.
Trauma Kit Contents:
* celox trauma gauze
* 4" combat dressing
* SWAT tourniquet
* Chest Seal
* nasal airway
* 2 pr gloves
If you come upon a trauma victim, basic first aid tells you to maintain Airway, Breathing, and Circulation (ABC) until EMS arrives. How do you do that if a person is bleeding badly? If their airway is compromised? If they have a sucking chest wound? Experienced Tactical Paramedics carefully selected the contents of this Trauma kit to provide the tools required to keep a victim alive until EMS arrives. The Nasal Airway can enable a victim with a compromised airway to breathe. The Chest Seal seals a sucking chest wound. The SWAT tourniquet can be used on injuries that a traditional tourniquet can’t address. The 4” combat dressing is what some call an “Israeli” bandage. The celox trauma gauze has clotting compound that helps stop bleeding quickly.
If, God forbid, you ever are a trauma victim, anyone with advanced first aid training can use this kit to save you. So your kit could be used to save others, or to save you.
Each of the items in this kit require proper training. This course gives you the training to use all these items safely and effectively. Our instructors are experienced Tactical Paramedics. They have long experience using all the tools in this trauma kit. They have come upon victims with survivable injuries who died for lack of first aid before the EMS could arrive. They have come upon victims who were harmed by well-intentioned but damaging attempts at first aid by people without proper training. They have a deep understanding of what can and should be done while waiting for the EMTs. In this course, these Tactical Paramedics will train students in what to do while waiting for the EMTs, so the first-responder’s efforts complement the EMT’s, maximizing the victim’s chances of survival.
Pizza will be provided for lunch. Please bring your own drinks and snacks. There is nowhere to buy food or drink anywhere near the club.
