From roadside trauma to remote rescues, bleeding control in the field can make the difference between life and death. This fast-paced, practical session is built for EMS professionals, remote care providers, and tactical responders operating in unpredictable environments. We’ll break down the latest in prehospital wound care, including proven irrigation techniques, advanced hemostatic agents like chitosan, kaolin, and hydrogels, and field-tested closure methods—sutures, staples, adhesives, and bioactive dressings like medical-grade honey. You’ll also learn when (and how) to use local anesthetics, start antibiotics, and decide between primary and delayed closure. The MARCH algorithm will guide our triage approach. Walk away with tools, techniques, and confidence to manage complex wounds when time, resources, and backup are in short supply.
