The purpose of the Refuge Responder class is to train the individual on the trauma medicine tactics to treat arterial bleeding, gunshot wounds, sucking chest wounds, lacerations, other common traumatic injuries and common preparedness principles. This will be achieved through the application of learned skills from the classroom setting, inside of Scenario Based Training, based on realistic possible events.
The use of the following medical devices/items will be addressed: application of a CAT tourniquet, use of an Emergency Trauma Dressing (ETD), application of chest seals, use of triangular bandages, use of the SWAT-T tourniquet, wound packing with compressed gauze, appropriate use of clotting agents, and more. Students will run a Motor Vehicle accident scenario where they will use the learned skills to render aid.
Students will be responsible for their own meals and drinks. Cost of the class includes a Refuge Medical Trainer Kit, which will be retained by the student, and a MARCH-E Algorithm reference book. This allows the student to train their friends and loved ones with the same tactics and techniques after the class is completed.
This is a highly active and energized class; participants should be able to move unassisted and be capable of lifting a reasonable amount of weight. This class is scenario driven and instructors may trigger physiological responses with the use of external stressors. It is highly recommended that long sleeves and pants be worn.
