Tactical Combat Casualty Care

Tactical Combat Casualty Care (TCCC) is a set of guidelines designed to provide effective medical care to injured individuals in combat or high-risk situations. Developed for military personnel, it prioritizes life-saving interventions based on the immediate threats of the environment. TCCC emphasizes three main steps: stopping severe bleeding, ensuring the airway is clear, and preventing shock. The approach combines quick, practical techniques with a focus on safety for both the caregiver and the casualty, allowing for effective treatment even in chaotic circumstances and ultimately increasing the chances of survival for the injured.
