Can anyone point me to a reference for the most current version of what was once called the army comms course? I don't know the actual official title anymore and trying to track down a TP. Thanks.

Hello.  Just wondering if anyone in the CAF who is using the Belmont Buddy Lite regularly can send me a PM.  I have a few questions.  Thanks.

Still for sale (price reduced) as well as a 5 11 Med Pouch (black).

Hello, Does anyone have access to the most current EO's & PO's for QL 5 Med Tech?  I have heard that AEC is no longer part of the course.  Thanks.

TT FRB bag (black).  Used but very good condition-primarily used only for medevac use.  Asking $50, PM if you want pictures.  Also have 2 new compact vehicle med bags (also black) asking $75 each.  These would be ideal for LEO type vehicle med kits if you are looking for a compact work or...

Will the change in doctrine lead to changes in TO&E or is it purely a doctrine change at this time?

Here is a link on some of the ongoing ROC research: https://roc.uwctc.org/tiki/tiki-read_article.php?articleId=139 For discussion.

Thanks. So far looking like CAP is not required.

Hello, Is anyone able to list the current course progression for reserve HCA as of summer 2015?  I have been in touch with a recruiter but there seems to be a bit of confusion.  Besides second language training, what is the training delta between regular and reserve HCA officers?  Thanks.

We have been using TXA in the BCAS for a year and a half.  We administered the first prehospital case within Canada.  It is currently deployed at the CCP level for air and ground responses.  The most uses occur (obviously) on helicopter autolaunches for trauma.  There is a good chance we will...

There are commercially available kits that use the Seldinger technique such as the Melker kit.

Nope.  That was just the guys belly jiggling.  I think someone was also putting some pressure on a bleed at some point too which could explain it.  That arrest was D/C pretty quick as the ACP shown in the clip made a patch to the hospital.  That guy was dead at the scene.  That's what happens...

Do you work for Maple Ridge First Aid?  They teach all the red cross first responder courses.

I would say go with the Red Cross course.  They have a long established 40 hour first responder course and recently a newer 80 hour emergency medical responder course.  I am personally not a fan of the SJA coures.  They are too fragmented and don't at all teach a comprehensive approach to pt...

Apparently there is going to be a TEMS unit stood to in Vancouver for the 2010 games.  I know for sure that here in the BCAS our CBRNE team has been very busy working with the RCMP and VPD on a bunch of clan lab stuff.  I see this as being a key future endeavour in addition to possible TEMS...

The CDC has some really good resources on this topic. http://www.bt.cdc.gov/masscasualties/bombings_injurycare.asp There is a fair bit of data in their course which looks to have come primarily from Iraq.

For the purposes of ACLS ventricular fibrillation and pulseless ventricular tachycardia are treated the same.

An aed will also recognize and shock ventricular tachycardia.  In theory if you applied to a person in VT who was still perfusing it could and would recognize and shock VT in a pt with a pulse.  That is why aed's are only indicated for pulseless patient's.

When I released from the reserves last year there was no PRL option for NCM's unless you were a former reg force 6B.  Unless things have changed I would say it is unlikely.

As far as I know it is for both. Here is a link from JEMS that discusses it briefly: http://www.jems.com/columnists/eagles/articles/17032/ There have been a few limited animal studies that have shown HS/HSD to be effective with IO access but as far as I know there have been little if any human...
