Recognition and treatment of shock in the tactical environment: hemorrhagic shock classes, field assessment without monitors, protocol-driven treatment ladders for hemorrhagic and septic shock.
- Shock pathophysiology and the lethal triad
- Hemorrhagic shock classes I-IV: clinical signs and volume loss
- Field assessment: pulse checks, mental status, skin signs, cap refill
- Hemorrhagic shock treatment ladder: tourniquets through blood products
- Septic shock recognition and treatment in PFC
