During the past several decades, a series of high-profile international and domestic terrorist events, school shootings, kidnappings, acts of piracy, wartime atrocities, and natural disasters has occurred. In a number of those situations, the use of traditional EMS and Disaster Medicine policies, procedures, and equipment actually hindered good patient care. TEM Section members excel at working safely and effectively in austere and potentially hostile circumstances. Tactical Medicine offers the most sophisticated and comprehensive paradigms available to out-of-hospital medical care providers.

Kimberly LevinHi –
I wanted to get advice on what clotting agent is currently recommended to help control bleeding in the field. I am an ER physician putting together a medical kit for an outdoor adventure company and wanted to include the easiest and most effective clotting agent. I know QuikClot had some issues with burns. I also found Celox as an option?
Thank you for any help on this topic!
