- Inventory all components and organize logically into your primary trauma bag by function (e.g., airway, bleeding, diagnostics).
- Upon patient contact, utilize diagnostic tools (BP cuff, stethoscope, penlight) to perform a rapid assessment and establish baseline vitals.
- Address immediate life threats by applying appropriate dressings for hemorrhage control and utilizing airway adjuncts strictly within your scope of training.
- Manage specific injuries using specialized items like triangular bandages for splinting, burn sheets for large burns, or glucose gel for conscious hypoglycemic patients.
- After every deployment, conduct a full inventory, decontaminate reusable tools, and immediately resupply all consumed items to maintain mission readiness.
