In combat, every second counts. Imagine a 25-year-old service member injured by small arms fire, 70 minutes from the nearest hospital. How do you respond at point of injury? Is applying a tourniquet “high and tight” always the right move? During #MHSRS2024, these critical questions were at the forefront of a discussion by combat casualty care experts. Drawing from real cases from the Joint Trauma System (JTS) DoD Center of Excellence for Trauma, these discussions highlight the importance of collaboration and shared knowledge in advancing trauma care.

JTS announces the publication of the En Route Care (ERC) Patient Packaging Clinical Practice Guideline (CPG). The prompt movement of patients to the required level of clinical care is essential to prevent morbidity and mortality. The ERC Patient Packaging CPG is a must-read resource for those responsible for preparing patients for en route care and evacuation to ensure the safe transport of casualties to definitive care. The ERC CPG addresses the requirements defined in Joint Publication (JP) 1-02, Department of Defense Dictionary of Military and Associated Terms and JP 4-02 for transitory medical care, patient holding, and staging capabilities from the point of injury or onset of disease throughout the continuum of care.
