| tccc guidelines 2022: Expeditionary Surgery at Sea Matthew D. Tadlock, Amy A. Hernandez, 2023-03-16 Currently, no comprehensive practical surgical textbook or other reference exists for the management of injured and other surgical patients at sea. This text focuses on the increasingly important field of medical and surgical management of patients in the modern expeditionary maritime environment. The editors and contributors to this new handbook are a group of physicians, nurses, and corpsmen with extensive experience in caring for patients in the expeditionary maritime environment, designing and implementing current doctrine and policy, and publishing peer-reviewed articles focused on these topics. This handbook takes the approach of a how to manual for the management of combat or disaster victims, beginning at the point of injury and proceeding through each stage of care until they leave the maritime environment. This includes sections on prehospital care, triage, en-route care, and maritime mass casualty management, as well as additional chapters covering unique aspects of maritime platforms, capabilities, and missions. The bulk of the book focuses on the initial patient evaluation and resuscitation as well as the operative and perioperative phases of care including prolonged casualty care. The primary focus throughout the book is on simple, practical, and proven practices that can be easily understood and implemented by physicians and independent providers of any experience level who may find themselves in similar situations. For the clinical chapters, each begins with a clinical vignette relevant to the chapter based on actual patients or maritime scenarios experienced by the authors demonstrating the various challenges that can occur caring for injured and surgical patients at sea while deployed on maritime and amphibious platforms. When appropriate, each clinical chapter will conclude by describing the recommended management and outcome of the patient(s) presented in the vignette that opened the chapter. The style is plain and direct language, avoiding scientific jargon and unnecessary complexity whenever possible. Each chapter begins with 5 to 10 bullet points that summarize the key information or “BLUF” (bottom line up front) from that chapter and conclude with common tips and pitfalls, as well as recommended high-yield resources for the entire maritime surgical team. |

U.S. ARMY AEROMEDICAL EVACUATION CRITICAL CARE FLIGHT PARAMEDIC STANDARD MEDICAL OPERATING GUIDELINES - CY23 Version Published January 2023, 318 pages 2. TCCC Guidelines for Medical Personnel - 15 December 2021, 19 pages 3. JTS Clinical Practice Guidelines, 2,260 total pages - current as of 19 September 2023: INTRODUCTION The SMOG continues to go through significant improvements with each release as a result of the collaboration of Emergency Medicine professionals, experienced Flight Medics, Aeromedical Physician Assistants, Critical Care Nurses, and Flight Surgeons. There has been close coordination in the development of these guidelines by the Joint Trauma System, and the Defense Committees on Trauma. Our shared goal is to ensure the highest quality en route care possible and to standardize care across all evacuation and emergency medical pre-hospital units. It is our vision that all of these enhancements and improvements will advance en route care across the services and the Department of Defense. Unit medical trainers and medical directors should evaluate Critical Care Flight Paramedics (CCFP) ability to follow and execute the medical instructions herein. These medical guidelines are intended to guide CCFPs and prehospital professionals in the response and management of emergencies and the care and treatment of patients in both garrison and combat theater environments. Unit medical providers are not expected to employ these guidelines blindly. Unit medical providers are expected to manipulate and adjust these guidelines to their unit’s mission and medical air crew training / experience. Medical directors or designated supervising physicians should endorse these guidelines as a baseline, appropriately adjust components as needed, and responsibly manage individual unit medical missions within the scope of practice of their Critical Care Flight Paramedics, Enroute Critical Care Nurses, and advanced practice aeromedical providers. The medication section of this manual is provided for information purposes only. CCFPs may administer medications only as listed in the guidelines unless their medical director and/or supervising physician orders a deviation. Other medications may be added, so long as the unit supervising physician and/or medical director approves them. This manual also serves as a reference for physicians providing medical direction and clinical oversight to the CCFP. Treatment direction, which is more appropriate to the patient’s condition than the guideline, should be provided by the physician as long as the CCFP scope of practice is not exceeded. Any medical guideline that is out of date or has been found to cause further harm will be updated or deleted immediately. The Medical Evacuation Concepts and Capabilities Division (MECCD) serves as the managing editor of the SMOG and are responsible for content updates, managing the formal review process, and identifying review committee members for the annual review. The Standard Medical Operating Guidelines are intended to provide medical procedural guidance and is in compliment to other Department of Defense and Department of the Army policies, regulatory and doctrinal guidance. Nothing herein overrides or supersedes laws, rules, regulation or policies of the United States, DoD or DA. |

| tccc guidelines 2022: Textbook of Acute Trauma Care Peter Lax, 2022-01-05 This book provides a systemic approach to acute trauma care in line with the ABCDE paradigm and up-to-date information on assessing and managing major trauma from the pre-hospital to the rehabilitation phase. The book's early sections are dedicated to identifying and managing pathology caused by massive haemorrhage, airway, breathing, circulation or neurological trauma and examining the current evidence base relating to their management. The book then builds from fundamental skills to advanced interventions so that each level of responder can identify and implement aspects of clinical practice that will be of benefit to them at their stage. This approach also explains advanced interventions that may be executed subsequently, explaining how each phase of care sits together. This has a further benefit of producing seamless care for patients by practitioners of different levels using this book as a reference point. Later sections deal with specifics of in-hospital trauma care by speciality, including the explanation of decision making processes by specialities, use of diagnostic and interventional radiology, rehabilitation and psychological aspects of trauma care. The Textbook of Acute Trauma Care also focuses on non-clinical issues relevant to trauma such as training and logistics of retrieval and repatriation, aviation considerations in HEMS, legal and forensic evidence considerations and ethical issues dealing with trauma patients. In addition, the book contains chapters from international experts on cognitive and human factors relating to healthcare and suggests strategies for training and minimising errors. This book is an essential resource for all grades of practitioner, from first responders to Consultant/Attending Physician level providers. |

| tccc guidelines 2022: Functional Biomaterials Design, Synthesis and Applications Manjie Zhang, Wenliang Wang, Xiangjun Chen, Oommen Podiyan Oommen , Yun Chang, 2024-08-21 Early diagnosis of cancer is still a major challenge in cancer therapy. In recent years, the development of multifunctional nanomaterials has provided a new diagnosis and treatment platform to combat cancer. Polymer-inorganic nanomaterials with novel structures such as bowl-shaped/Janus/core-shell have drawn much attention owing to their diversity in composition or asymmetry in structure. More importantly, imparting unique optical, electrical, and magnetic properties to these nanocomposites can further extend their function repertoire. However, to fulfill this vision, fundamental understandings regarding strategies of precise synthesis, mechanisms of structure formation, in vivo synergistic effects in bioapplications, and biosafety of these materials are needed. Besides, nanomaterials with novel structures are well positioned for imaging-guided cancer theranostic. On one hand, nanomaterials themselves are suitable for imaging because of their intrinsic properties such as fluorescent or magnetic properties. On the other hand, nanomaterials can serve as functional platforms that integrate various therapeutic modalities including photothermal therapy, chemodynamic/ion-interference therapy, photodynamic therapy, and cuproptosis to efficiently kill cancer cells. This Research Topic aims at collecting works about synthesis, and biomedical applications of polymer/mesoporous inorganic nanomaterials, especially in the aspect of novel synthetic approaches for fabricating nanomaterials with unique structures. Additionally, we hope that in-depth research articles on this topic can provide insights into the mechanism of nanomaterials acting in cancer diagnosis and therapy. These include the mechanisms of customized drug load/release and synergistic effects in theranostics of these materials. Meanwhile, elucidations of key proteins’ roles in cancer development are also anticipated. Lastly, we hope that this topic can brew new ideas for the adaption of nanomaterials as platforms that allow for multimodal therapeutic modalities. The current Research Topic centers on the design, precise synthesis, and biomedical applications of nanomaterials. It aims to cover novel and promising research trends in nanomaterials with different morphology for cancer theranostics. Manuscripts from the following aspects, but not limited to, are welcomed: • Tailoring of asymmetrically structured (bowl-shaped, Janus, Yin Yang-like) polymer-inorganic nanomaterials; • Inorganic functional nanocrystals and functionalized mesoporous nanomaterials; • Design and synthesis of functional biomaterials, including lipids, polymers, and 2D materials • Non-viral DNA/mRNA delivery or drug/molecular inhibitor delivery; • Synthesizing biomaterials with novel nanostructures such as bowl-shaped, core-shell, spherical, Janus, and quantum dots; • Conquering drug resistance issues, tumor metastasis, and recurrence, as well as designing combination nanomedicines; • Dissecting the role of menin in prostate cancer and breast cancer: crosstalk between menin and AR signaling; • Multi-stimulus-responsive drug release and biological molecules. |
| tccc guidelines 2022: Notfallmedizin extrem Matthias Ruppert, Jochen Hinkelbein, 2023-09-14 Auch für erfahrene Notärzte und qualifiziertes Rettungsfachpersonal können Extremsituationen bei der Notfallversorgung enorm herausfordernd und potenziell risikoreich werden: Der zu versorgende Patient befindet sich nicht in einer Wohnung, auf der Straße oder bereits im Rettungswagen, sondern in extremer Umgebung, die eine gewohnte und übliche Notfallrettung und -versorgung nicht zulässt.

| tccc guidelines 2022: Military Medicine and the Hidden Costs of War Professor of Political Science Tanisha M Fazal, Tanisha M Fazal, 2024-03-29 In Military Medicine and the Hidden Costs of War, the distinguished political scientist Tanisha M. Fazal covers the full range of American wars from the Civil War to War on Terror. A rich and engrossing account of the advances in military medicine, the book shows that over time there has been a steep increase in the wounded-to-killed ratio. That has had a major impact on the actual costs of US wars--as more soldiers survive, health care costs dramatically rise, making the costs of war much greater than politicians say they are. Yet the public is unaware of these long-term costs, which contributes to America's penchant for engaging in so-called endless wars. All told, this is both a powerful history of American wars through the lens of injury and medicine and also a necessary corrective for how we understand the costs of war. |

| tccc guidelines 2022: Dismounted Complex Blast Injury , 2011 Dismounted Complex Blast Injury (DCBI) is an explosion-induced battle injury sustained by a warfighter on foot patrol that produces a specific pattern of wounds. In particular, it involves traumatic amputation of at least one leg, a minimum of severe injury to another extremity, and pelvic, abdominal, or urogenital wounding. The US Army Surgeon General (SG) appointed a task force to study the causation, prevention, protection, treatment, and long-term care options of this BI pattern. This report will look at current candidates for best practice designation for prevention, mitigation, or treatment of dismounted complex blast injuries. It will address opportunities for intervention from the POI to long-term rehabilitation. The Task Force will address a systematic approach to this problem set from a medical perspective, using the Doctrine, Organization, Training, Materiel, Leadership, Personnel, Facilities and Contracting (DOTMLPF-C) approach, followed by specific recommendations for the way forward. |

| tccc guidelines 2022: The Water Footprint Assessment Manual Arjen Hoekstra, Ashok K. Chapagain, Maite M. Aldaya, Mesfin M. Mekonnen, 2012-08-21 People use lots of water for drinking, cooking and washing, but significantly more for producing things such as food, paper and cotton clothes. The water footprint is an indicator of water use that looks at both direct and indirect water use of a consumer or producer. Indirect use refers to the 'virtual water' embedded in tradable goods and commodities, such as cereals, sugar or cotton. The water footprint of an individual, community or business is defined as the total volume of freshwater that is used to produce the goods and services consumed by the individual or community or produced by the business. This book offers a complete and up-to-date overview of the global standard on water footprint assessment as developed by the Water Footprint Network. More specifically it: o Provides a comprehensive set of methods for water footprint assessment o Shows how water footprints can be calculated for individual processes and products, as well as for consumers, nations and businesses o Contains detailed worked examples of how to calculate green, blue and grey water footprints o Describes how to assess the sustainability of the aggregated water footprint within a river basin or the water footprint of a specific product o Includes an extensive library of possible measures that can contribute to water footprint reduction |
| tccc guidelines 2022: Trauma Induced Coagulopathy Hunter B. Moore, Matthew D. Neal, Ernest E. Moore, 2020-10-12 The first edition of this publication was aimed at defining the current concepts of trauma induced coagulopathy by critically analyzing the most up-to-date studies from a clinical and basic science perspective. It served as a reference source for any clinician interested in reviewing the pathophysiology, diagnosis, and management of the coagulopathic trauma patient, and the data that supports it. By meticulously describing the methodology of most traditional as well as state of the art coagulation assays the reader is provided with a full understanding of the tests that are used to study trauma induced coagulopathy. With the growing interest in understanding and managing coagulation in trauma, this second edition has been expanded to 46 chapters from its original 35 to incorporate the massive global efforts in understanding, diagnosing, and treating trauma induced coagulopathy. The evolving use of blood products as well as recently introduced hemostatic medications is reviewed in detail. The text provides therapeutic strategies to treat specific coagulation abnormalities following severe injury, which goes beyond the first edition that largely was based on describing the mechanisms causing coagulation abnormalities. Trauma Induced Coagulopathy 2nd Edition is a valuable reference to clinicians that are faced with specific clinical challenges when managing coagulopathy. |
