{"product_id":"2940012798046","title":"Ranger Medic Handbook","description":"Ranger Medic Handbook\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eHistorically in warfare, the majority of all combat deaths have occurred prior to a\u003cbr\u003ecasualty ever receiving advanced trauma management. The execution of the Ranger\u003cbr\u003emission profile in the Global War on Terrorism and our legacy tasks undoubtedly will\u003cbr\u003eincrease the number of lethal wounds.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eRanger leaders can significantly reduce the number of Rangers who die of\u003cbr\u003ewounds sustained in combat by simply targeting optimal medical capability in close\u003cbr\u003eproximity to the point of wounding. Survivability of the traumatized Ranger who sustains\u003cbr\u003ea wound in combat is in the hands of the first responding Ranger who puts a pressure\u003cbr\u003edressing or tourniquet and controls the bleeding of his fallen comrade. Directing\u003cbr\u003ecasualty response management and evacuation is a Ranger leader task; ensuring\u003cbr\u003etechnical medical competence is a Ranger Medic task.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eA solid foundation has been built for Ranger leaders and medics to be successful\u003cbr\u003ein managing casualties in a combat environment. An integrated team response from\u003cbr\u003enon-medical personnel and medical providers must be in place to care for the wounded\u003cbr\u003eRanger. The Ranger First Responder, Squad EMT, Ranger Medic Advanced Tactical\u003cbr\u003ePractitioner, and Ranger leaders, in essence all Rangers must unite to provide medical\u003cbr\u003ecare collectively, as a team, without sacrificing the flow and violence of the battle at\u003cbr\u003ehand.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eAn integrated team approach to casualty response and care will directly translate\u003cbr\u003eto the reduction of the died of wounds rate of combat casualties and minimize the\u003cbr\u003eturbulence associated with these events in times of crisis. The true success of the\u003cbr\u003eRanger Medical Team will be defined by its ability to complete the mission and greatly\u003cbr\u003ereduce preventable combat death. Rangers value honor and reputation more than their\u003cbr\u003elives, and as such will attempt to lay down their own lives in defense of their comrades. The Ranger Medic will do no less.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eTable of Contents\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eSECTION ONE\u003cbr\u003eRMED Mission Statement  11\u003cbr\u003eRMED Charter  12\u003cbr\u003eReview Committees  13\u003cbr\u003eEditorial Consultants \u0026amp; Contributors  14\u003cbr\u003eKey References  15\u003cbr\u003eRMED Scope of Practice  16\u003cbr\u003eRMED Standing Orders \u0026amp; Protocol Guidelines  18\u003cbr\u003eCasualty Assessment \u0026amp; Management  110\u003cbr\u003eTactical Combat Casualty Care (TCCC)  117\u003cbr\u003eSECTION TWO\u003cbr\u003eTactical Trauma Assessment Protocol 21\u003cbr\u003eMedical Patient Assessment Protocol  22\u003cbr\u003eAirway Management Protocol  23\u003cbr\u003eSurgical Cricothyroidotomy Procedure  24\u003cbr\u003eKingLT D Supralaryngeal Airway Insertion Procedure  25\u003cbr\u003eOrotracheal Intubation Procedure  26\u003cbr\u003eHemorrhage Management Procedure  27\u003cbr\u003eTourniquet Application Procedure  28\u003cbr\u003eHemostatic Agent Application Protocol  29\u003cbr\u003eTourniquet Conversion Procedure  210\u003cbr\u003eThoracic Trauma Management Procedure  211\u003cbr\u003eNeedle Chest Decompression Procedure  212\u003cbr\u003eChest Tube Insertion Procedure  213\u003cbr\u003eHypovolemic Shock Management Protocol  214\u003cbr\u003eSaline Lock \u0026amp; Intravenous Access Procedure  215\u003cbr\u003eExternal Jugular Intravenous Cannulation Procedure  216\u003cbr\u003eSternal Intraosseous Infusion Procedure  217\u003cbr\u003eHypothermia Prevention \u0026amp; Management Kit Procedure  218\u003cbr\u003eHead Injury Management Protocol  219\u003cbr\u003eMild Traumatic Brain Injury (Concussion) Management Protocol  220\u003cbr\u003eSeizure Management Protocol  221\u003cbr\u003eSpinal Cord Injury Management Protocol  222\u003cbr\u003eOrthopedic Trauma Management Protocol  223\u003cbr\u003eBurn Management Protocol  224\u003cbr\u003eFoley Catheterization Procedure  225\u003cbr\u003ePain Management Protocol  226\u003cbr\u003eAnaphylactic Shock Management Protocol  227\u003cbr\u003e75th Ranger Regiment Trauma Management Team (Tactical)\u003cbr\u003eRanger Medic Handbook\u003cbr\u003eRanger Medic Handbook 2007 Edition\u003cbr\u003e75th Ranger Regiment, US Army Special Operations Command\u003cbr\u003eSubject Page\u003cbr\u003eSECTION TWO Continued\u003cbr\u003eHyperthermia (Heat) Management Protocol  228\u003cbr\u003eHypothermia Prevention \u0026amp; Management Protocol  229\u003cbr\u003eBehavioral Emergency Management Protocol  230\u003cbr\u003eAltitude Medical Emergency Management Protocol  231\u003cbr\u003eAcute (Surgical) Abdomen  233\u003cbr\u003eAcute Dental Pain  233\u003cbr\u003eAcute Musculoskeletal Back Pain  233\u003cbr\u003eAllergic Rhinitis  234\u003cbr\u003eAsthma (Reactive Airway Disease)  234\u003cbr\u003eBronchitis  234\u003cbr\u003eCellulitis  235\u003cbr\u003eChest Pain (Cardiac Origin Suspected)  235\u003cbr\u003eCommon Cold  235\u003cbr\u003eConjunctivitis  236\u003cbr\u003eConstipation  236\u003cbr\u003eContact Dermatitis  236\u003cbr\u003eCorneal Abrasion \u0026amp; Corneal Ulcer  237\u003cbr\u003eCough  237\u003cbr\u003eCutaneous Abscess  237\u003cbr\u003eDeep Venous Thrombosis (DVT)  238\u003cbr\u003eDiarrhea  238\u003cbr\u003eEpiglottitis  238\u003cbr\u003eEpistaxis  239\u003cbr\u003eFungal Skin Infection  239\u003cbr\u003eGastroenteritis  239\u003cbr\u003eGastroesophageal Reflux Disease (GERD)  240\u003cbr\u003eHeadache  240\u003cbr\u003eIngrown Toenail  240\u003cbr\u003eJoint Infection  241\u003cbr\u003eLaceration  241\u003cbr\u003eMalaria  241\u003cbr\u003eOtitis Externa  242\u003cbr\u003eOtitis Media  242\u003cbr\u003ePeritonsillar Abscess  242\u003cbr\u003ePneumonia  243\u003cbr\u003ePulmonary Embolus (PE)  243\u003cbr\u003eRenal Colic  243\u003cbr\u003eSepsis \/ Septic Shock  244","brand":"www.survivalebooks.com","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47068580741360,"sku":"2940012798046","price":3.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0737\/7593\/9824\/files\/2940012798046_p0.jpg?v=1763572828","url":"https:\/\/shop-qa.barnesandnoble.com\/products\/2940012798046","provider":"Barnes \u0026 Noble (DEV)","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
