TCCC Tier3 Exam with precise detailed solutions || || || || || ||
Which factors influence TCCC?
|| || ||
Hostile fire, tactical considerations, wounding patterns, environmental considerations, level of
|| || || || || || || || || ||
first-responder training and experience, equipment constraints and the potential for significant || || || || || || || || || || ||
delays in evacuation.
|| ||
What are the phases of care in TCCC?
|| || || || || || ||
Care Under Fire/Threat, Tactical Field Care, and Tactical Evacuation Care.
|| || || || || || || || ||
What is the most essential treatment task in CUF?
|| || || || || || || ||
Application of a limb tourniquet to control massive bleeding. || || || || || || || ||
What is every first responder's role in CUF?
|| || || || || || ||
Suppress hostile fire and/or establish scene safety, assist in self-aid, and assist in moving
|| || || || || || || || || || || || || ||
casualties
What does MARCH PAWS stand for?
|| || || || ||
Massive bleeding, airway, respirations (breathing), circulation, and hypothermia AND head
|| || || || || || || || || ||
injury, pain, antibiotics, wounds, and splints.
|| || || || ||
What type of tourniquet found in the CMC Aid Bag is used to control massive hemorrhage in the
|| || || || || || || || || || || || || || || || || ||
axilla that is too proximal for effective limb tourniquet application?
|| || || || || || || || ||
,2
Junctional Tourniquet ||
When should you inspect your JFAK, CLS bag, CMC bag and other Service-specific medical
|| || || || || || || || || || || || || ||
kits?
Before, during, and after all training events and missions.
|| || || || || || || ||
What is Care Under Fire?
|| || || ||
care given by the first responder at the scene of the injury while they and the casualty are still
|| || || || || || || || || || || || || || || || || || ||
under effective hostile fire or near the threat.
|| || || || || || ||
What are the signs of life threatening bleeding?
|| || || || || || ||
• Bright red blood is pooling on the ground
|| || || || || || || ||
• The overlying clothes are soaked with blood
|| || || || || || ||
• There is a traumatic AMPUTATION of an arm or leg
|| || || || || || || || || ||
• There is pulsatile (pulsing) or steady bleeding from the wound
|| || || || || || || || || ||
How long does it take to bleed to death from a complete femoral artery and vein disruption?
|| || || || || || || || || || || || || || || ||
3 minutes or less
|| || ||
What are advantages and disadvantages of one-person drags?
|| || || || || || ||
• Advantages: only one rescuer is exposed to enemy fire.
|| || || || || || || || ||
• Disadvantages: they are difficult to perform and can cause the rescuer to tire quickly.
|| || || || || || || || || || || || || ||
,2
What are advantages and disadvantages of two-person carries?
|| || || || || || ||
• Advantages: they are useful in situations where drags do not work well and are quicker than
|| || || || || || || || || || || || || || || || ||
most one-person carries.
|| ||
• Disadvantages: they cause the rescuers to have a higher silhouette than most drags, and are hard
|| || || || || || || || || || || || || || || || ||
to accomplish with the added weight of rescuer's and/or the casualty's equipment.
|| || || || || || || || || || ||
What is the difference between TFC and CUF?
|| || || || || || ||
care rendered once the combat medic/corpsman and casualty are no longer under direct threat
|| || || || || || || || || || || || || ||
from effective enemy fire. This allows for the time and the relative safety for a more deliberate
|| || || || || || || || || || || || || || || || ||
approach to casualty assessment and treatment. || || || || ||
True or False: During TFC, the tactical situation could change back to CUF again at any time?
|| || || || || || || || || || || || || || || ||
True
What is triage? || ||
the deliberate sorting of casualties and allocation of limited treatment resources according to a
|| || || || || || || || || || || || || ||
system of priorities designed to maximize the number of survivors on the battlefield.
|| || || || || || || || || || || ||
What is a CCP? || || ||
location on the battlefield for the triage, treatment and monitoring, and the packaging/staging of
|| || || || || || || || || || || || || ||
casualties for evacuation. The CCP should be established reasonably close to the fight where
|| || || || || || || || || || || || || ||
casualties are likely to occur, be near natural "lines of drift", provide relative cover and
|| || || || || || || || || || || || || || ||
concealment from the enemy whenever possible, and have access to evacuation routes.
|| || || || || || || || || || ||
, 2
In which phase of care is most of the Tactical Trauma Assessment performed?
|| || || || || || || || || || || ||
Tactical Field Care || ||
Why is it important to assess the casualty's mental status?
|| || || || || || || || ||
They may need to be disarmed and to have communications equipment removed. Following their
|| || || || || || || || || || || || || ||
mental status throughout the assessment may help responders identify changes in clinical status,
|| || || || || || || || || || || || ||
leading to early casualty reassessment. || || || ||
What is a blood sweep? || || || ||
a rapid visual and palpable head-to-toe check of the front and back of the casualty for any
|| || || || || || || || || || || || || || || || ||
unrecognized life-threatening bleeding. || ||
What is the proper distance a deliberate tourniquet should be placed from the bleeding site in
|| || || || || || || || || || || || || || || ||
TFC?
A deliberate tourniquet placed in TFC should be 2-3 inches above (proximal) to the site of
|| || || || || || || || || || || || || || || ||
bleeding.
What are the differences between the high & tight hasty tourniquets placed in CUF and the
|| || || || || || || || || || || || || || || ||
deliberate tourniquets placed in TC? || || || ||
The tourniquets placed in CUF are typically placed over the uniform/clothing as high up on the
|| || || || || || || || || || || || || || || ||
extremity as possible, as time is very limited and the exact site of bleeding may not have been
|| || || || || || || || || || || || || || || || || ||
identified.
In contrast, the tourniquets placed in FC are placed more deliberately after uniform clothing has
|| || || || || || || || || || || || || || ||
been removed and 2-3 inches above the identified site of bleeding.
