Reduce Preventable Death BY Improved Medical Readiness & Medical Capability.
The first step towards achieving a meaningful reduction in preventable deaths is to ensure we use the best metric that measures the effectiveness of medical intervention. The Case Fatality Rate (CFR) is frequently used to measure wounded patients compared to the number of deaths. It took an extensive look at what casualties are dying from and where this occurs. The most striking finding is that 87.3% of fatalities occur prior to arrival at a Medical Facility (MTF). Who died that might have lived, represent where we can make the biggest improvement to decrease the number of potentially survivable battlefield deaths. Obviously, the place that needs the most improvement is with self-aid, buddy-aid and combat medical care that occurs long before they arrive at the first medical treatment facility.
Our innovative MARCH™ treatment protocol (Massive Hemorrhage, Airway, Respiration, Circulation, Head & Hypothermia). MARCH™ Medical Gear are CoTCCC Recommended¹ and evaluated as 100% effective.
By simply following MARCH protocol standardizations, command adoption and implementing, you can successfully accomplished improved results, yielding zero preventable deaths
# MASSIVE HEMORRHAGE – STOP life-threatening bleeding
# AIRWAY – MAINTAIN an open airway
# RESPIRATION – ASSESS respiration and breathing LOOK LISTEN AND FEEL !
# CIRCULATION – MONITOR casualty’s blood circulation and prevent shock
# HEAD & HYPOTHERMIA – PREVENT hypothermia by keeping the casualty warm and dry
