Abstract:
Separate evidence-based, best practice guidelines and recommendations exist for the prehospital management of traumatic injuries sustained in combat settings and those encountered during high-threat civilian operational incidents. The Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives (ATF) Tactical Medic Program is a mature operational medicine asset supporting high-threat federal law enforcement operations. The ATF conducted an audit of its agency-issued tactical medic bags with regards to completeness, as defined by authorized medical protocols, which are aligned with current Tactical Combat Casualty Care and Tactical Emergency Casualty Care guidelines.
