FMTB PCC STUDY GUIDE
1. PRINCIPLES OF PCC: 1. Perform initial lifesaving care
2. Delineate roles and responsibilities
3. Perform comprehensive physical exam/detailed history and create a problem list and care plan
4. Record and trend vital signs
5. Perform teleconsultation
6. Create a nursing care plan
7. Implement team wake, rest, chow plan
2. TLAMM: Theater Lead Agent for Medical Material
3. Primary (resupply): Supply chain required (air/ship movement) Pro: oflcial form of resupply, large quan-
tities
Con: may be significantly delayed
4. Secondary (resupply): Other Role 1, 2, or 3 (BAS, STP, EMF, or
ship) Pro: may be in close proximity
Con: takes resources from other units
5. Tertiary (resupply): Local hospitals, clinics, and
stores Pro: potentially closest and easiest to obtain
Con: concern for quality/compatibility, fraudulent medications
6. Role 1A.: Carried/point of need (Ruck)
7. Role 1.B: Mission-specific transportation platform (Truck)
8. Role 1.C: Mission support site (House)
9. Role 1.D: Evacuation platform (Plane)
10. MSMAID: Mechanical ventilation (BVM)
Suction device used for patient care (hand, Impact)
Monitor gathering and assessing vitals (stethoscope, pulse ox)
1/6
, Airway adjunct used (Igel, cric)
Intravenous access (IV/IO) Drugs, medication used for patient care (Ketamine)
11. Complications to ventilation: • Ventilating dry/cold air: Evaporative heat loss (hypothermia) and fluid loss
• Respiratory acidosis/alkalosis: pH balance can be skewed based on respiratory rate
• Barotrauma: Occurs when overdistention and increased pressures in the lungs leads to inflammatory changes and
possible rupture of alveolar tissue
12. Definitive Airway Adjunct: A cutted tube placed in the trachea below the level of the vocal cords
