General Information

Overview

This unit will build on your existing knowledge of pharmacology and advanced clinical assessment and intervention. You will learn to use advanced clinical vital sign monitoring and interventions to build an accurate clinical picture to advocate for patient evacuation with the most appropriate available transport assets. Planning, operational control, triage and patient packaging for systematic evacuation will be introduced. You will be introduced to advanced clinical care practices for prolonged field care scenarios where evacuation is deferred indefinitely. Risk mitigation and situational awareness techniques learned in direct and indirect threat care units will be built upon and further incorporated into the clinical assessment to ensure a measured situational response in the event of threat re-escalation. You will synthesise clinical data obtained through ongoing patient assessment to implement an ongoing treatment plan in preparation for evacuation.
