Goal and Contents of the Workshop: The basics of surgical wound management are the building blocks for the treatment of any kind of wound. No matter if we find ourselves in a prolonged field care scenario, a prolonged casualty care situation or at limited medical evacuation options due to high enemy pressure. If the intention is to keep a soldier with minor injuries on mission or just to establish temporary stabilization until a higher treatment facility can be reached. It is essential to be able to assesse wounds correctly and then be able to treat correctly with the material and options at hand. In this workshop general options of wound treatment and closure will be presented and the attendees are given the oportunity to try and train them.

In this workshop, trainers for tactical life savers will have the opportunity to experience cutting edge technology for Tactical Combat Casualty Care (TCCC) training and contribute own ideas for future developments. ESG Elektroniksystem- und Logistik-GmbH is currently developing a modern training solution to train TCCC in mixed reality. With this system, trainees can train according to TCCC principles in a virtual environment yet using their own hands and real equipment and interacting with real persons who have simulated wounds.

After a brief introduction and demonstration of the equipment, participants will get the opportunity to try out the system themselves. During the workshop, participants can adopt different roles: the tactical life saver (trainee), the wounded person and the observer (trainer). Meanwhile participants are encouraged to ask questions, make suggestions, rate the practicability and usefulness of the system for future TCCC training and propose improvements. In the end, the participants’ feedback will be summarized in form of quantitative and qualitative questionnaires.

This workshop presents and discusses the management of a CCP during a MASCAL event. With the aid of a foil-based management tool we present a cost-effective approach. A first introduction of the tool is followed by a hands-on scenario where the participants will lead and organize the CCP. The participants will be the responsible Master-Medic and can gain experience with this tool. In cooperation with: Tactical Responder.

This session will provide military care providers with an actionable understanding of lung-protective ventilation (LPV) and how to initiate and manage patients in the field following standard of care, this includes:

1. The underlying principles of LPV
2. How to manage oxygenation
3. Initiation of LPV based on patient predicted bodyweight (PBW) incl. Initiation of LPV with pediatric patients
4. Ventilator management for prolonged field care
5. Using a ventilator and O2 concentrator
6. Hands-on workshop using a ventilator and O2 concentrator.

Course objectives:
Knowledge of the principles of LPV, its implementation in all patient populations, and the preparation and use of an oxygen concentrator ventilator.

Course instructors:
The didactic portion of the course will be presented by clinicians with both military and civilian experience in mechanical ventilation in both German and English. The hands-on workshop will include a multilingual team of instructors with operational experience from various NATO countries.

Target Audience:
The workshop is intended primarily for NATO Special Operations Combat Medics (NSCOM), paramedics, and physicians without intensive care or anesthesiology backgrounds. https://www.zoll.com/de

The workshop is designed specifically and exclusively for SOF personnel who find themselves in a situation where they have to transport wounded patients over a vertical ledge without access to adequat material. The goal is to not be unprepared but to improvise with unconventional techniques and on-hand material in order to successfully complete one's assignment. The workshop is designed as an interactive demonstration. The techniques are shown and actively carried out by the participants. SOF membership will have to be verified on-site. The person in charge for the workshop reserves the right to prohibit participation.

Target-Audience: all medical personnel (EMS, Military, Police)
Workshop goals: To gain an insight into the CBRN MED = (MARCHE)² and how the tactical medic approaches a poisoned, traumatically injured casualty
Workshop content: The first part of the workshop consist of a theoretical seminar where the (MARCHE)² will be reviewed. Potential way-of-action-algorithms will be demonstrated. The system performance will be shown practically as a tactical “sand-table”-simulation. In the second part the aforementioned theoretical approach can be practically trained and performed by the attendees in a scenario-based run.
Disclaimer: all participants should carry their unit-specific CBRN gear. If none is available, certain sets will be provided. Train as you fight.

The workshop offers participants the opportunity to gain first insights into virtual reality (VR) simulation trainings and to try it out for themselves (selected VR Trainings from the VALOR Curriculum developed by the US Air Force). Col. John R. Dorsh and Dr. Mark Weinert will give a brief introduction to the status quo as well as future developments of immersive technologies and share their practical experiences with medical VR trainings. On this basis, the potentials and limitations of virtual reality medical training for the military will be addressed. https://www.simxvr.com/

Target-Audience: all Forces (Military, Police, EMS) who might have to perform a triage in special tactical circumstances
Workshop goal: To achieve security of action with triage in MASCAL events within special tactical circumstances
Workshop content: The first part of the workshop consist of a theoretical seminar where different triage systems will be reviewed. Potential way-of-action-algorithms will be demonstrated. The system performed and trained by the Special Task Force Berlin (SEK – Sondereinsatzkommando; German States Polices Forces) will be introduced. The second part is practical and is performed as a table-top-game with a triage-run. By providing a sound theoretical basis the attendees will be enabled to perform triage in a MASCAL event within a special tactical situation in an efficient and actionable way. This theoretical approach will then be transferred into practical drills. Singular triage run-throughs will be conducted with every attendee individually, including the performance of life-saving direct measures. Each will be accompanied by a trainer and post-action assessment and feedback will be given.
