This workshop offers an opportunity to train a variety of techniques for airway management, with the latest devices on different mannequins. This includes extraglottic devices, direct- and video- laryngoscopic intubation, even under difficult conditions like bleeding or aspiration, fiberoptic-assisted intubation and emergency front of neck access (cricothyreotomy) in case of a ""can’t intubate, can't oxygenate"" (CICO) situation.
Our goal is to enable participants to secure patients' airway according to algorithm in a deployed setting as well as in a civilian environment.

This workshop provides practical, hands-on training in wound management in tactical environments. The focus is on realistic field scenarios, where participants practice handling a variety of injury patterns.

Key topics include:
• General principles of tactical wound care
• Management of severe body cavity injuries (e.g., evisceration, thoracic trauma)
• Treatment of burn injuries
• Initial care of stump injuries

Following a brief introduction, participants will have the opportunity to practice the demonstrated techniques in a realistic, hands-on setting. The goal is to equip first responders with mission-adapted, life-saving interventions for initial treatment under pressure and with limited resources.

In diesem interaktiven Workshop steigen wir tief ein in die Welt des medizinischen C-Schutzes. Was passiert bei einem Angriff mit chemischen Kampfstoffen? Wie erkennt man toxische Substanzgruppen schnell und zuverlässig – und vor allem: Wie handelt man richtig unter Druck?
Im Fokus stehen die wichtigsten Toxidrome, die bei chemischen Bedrohungslagen auftreten können – von Nervenkampfstoffen über Hautkampfstoffe bis zu Opioden. Gemeinsam erarbeiten wir klare Handlungsmuster, diagnostische „Red Flags“ und priorisierte Versorgungsstrategien.

"Medical training forms the foundation for efficient performance in stressful situations. Simulated Tactical Combat Casualty Care (SimTCCC), a mixed-reality (MR) solution, was developed to enable emergency personnel to practice tactical casualty care in a realistic, virtual, situation- and scenario-specific environment.
SimTCCC offers the opportunity to immerse yourself in a highly immersive simulated environment. By combining the two worlds (real and virtual), you can practice medical care according with your own hands, and your own live medical stuff on a real person and on simulators.
This workshop is intended to give you the opportunity to gain hands-on time with the system and thus become thoroughly familiar with this new training method. Immerse yourself in a new type of medical training."

In austere, hostile, or resource-limited environments, medical personnel often face the challenge of delivering effective care with minimal equipment. This hands-on workshop focuses on the principles and practice of Improvised Medicine — using only what the operator has at hand.
This session is designed for medics, first responders, and military healthcare professionals operating in unpredictable or prolonged field care (PFC) situations. No prior knowledge of improvised techniques is required — just bring your curiosity and your kit.

Dieser Workshop richtet sich an Ärzte, Notfallsanitäter, Medics, Einsatzsanitäter und militärische Ersthelfer, welche in die schwierige Situation kommen könnten, Kinder im Rahmen eines Einsatzes, einer taktischen Lage oder eines konventionellen oder unkonventionellen Konflikts behandeln zu müssen. Der Workshop hat Seminarcharakter und soll zunächst den Teilnehmer dazu befähigen, ein kritisch krankes oder verwundetes Kind zügig zu identifizieren. Ziel ist es, auch mit Fallbeispielen gemeinsam zu erarbeiten, wann eine Behandlung notwendig wird und was zu tun ist, wenn nur wenig, ggf. nicht adäquates Equipment vorhanden ist, und wo die "pitfalls" im Umgang mit Kindern liegen.

This hands-on workshop simulates a high-intensity Mass Casualty (MASCAL) scenario. After a brief introduction and practical orientation on various triage algorithms, participants will be divided into small teams. Each team will navigate a challenging environment—impaired by fog, limited visibility, and obstacles—to rapidly assess and triage casualties.
Realistically simulated injuries, the use of moulage and artificial blood, and a dynamic, chaotic setting provide an immersive and highly realistic training experience that tests both decision-making and teamwork under pressure.

Workshop Objectives:
- Promote Cutting-Edge Solutions: Highlight the capabilities of Cosinuss, MedicTool, and CoROM in improving PFC practices.
- Improve Real-Life Training: Provide hands-on experience in managing complex trauma cases in austere environments.

Key Features:
- Cosinuss: Revolutionizing patient monitoring with live transmission of vital signs(pulse, SpO2, and temperature) directly to Medic Tool.
- Medic Tool: Supporting medics with advanced documentation, treatment protocols,equipment management, and live updates to the backend.
- CoROM: Delivering world-class training and education in Prolonged Field Care.

Workshop Scenario:
Participants will be divided into four stations, each featuring a team of five. The exercise begins with a simulated trauma patient being handed over using digital TCCC cards by "tapping" a phone with the patient data onto the team's tablet. Teams will then:
- Initiate PFC treatment.
- Document actions in real-time using Medic Tool.
- Utilize Cosinuss’ live monitoring for accurate and efficient care. The workshop setup replicates a field clinic, complete with equipment and scenarios designed to challenge participants and strengthen their PFC capabilities.

Execution Plan for the PFC Workshop at CMC 2025
To ensure participants are well-prepared and maximize the hands-on experience during the workshop, the following pre-training steps will be implemented:
Pre-Workshop Training Access (Not Mandatory)
- Medic Tool Online Training:

• Registered participants will receive access to online training modules for Medic Tool.
• The modules will cover features such as documentation, protocol support, equipment management, and real-time patient status updates.

- Cosinuss Online Training:

• Participants will learn how to use Cosinuss devices for live vital monitoring, including pulse, SpO2, and temperature.

- CoROM PFC Introduksjon

• CoROM will provide access to an online introductory course on Prolonged Field Care.
• The course will cover the fundamentals of PFC, emphasizing principles and strategies for managing patients in prolonged, resource-limited scenarios.

- By offering these online resources ahead of the workshop, participants will enter the event with foundational knowledge, enabling them to focus on practical application and teamwork during the hands-on stations.
- This blended approach ensures the workshop is engaging, efficient, and highly beneficial for all attendees

The TREMA e.V. (Tactical Rescue and Emergency Medicine Association - registered association; https://trema-europe.de/) again hosts its traditional TREMA parcours. Tactical Combat Casualty Care skills and teamwork within conventionel and unconventionel are the training's focus. These skills are improved on scenario based practices in small groups. No matter if you are a medic, paramedic or emergency physician, no matter if you are with the EMS, police or military forces, there is something in the parcours for everybody.

Important Information for participants Train as you fight. Please wear your standard duty uniform – there is no need for "full tactical" rescue gear such as body armour or helmets. No live weapons are allowed on site. Training replicas for police/military personnel may be brought along, provided they are clearly marked and available.

This workshop covers the prolonged field/casualty care of severe burn injury based on the “The Burns for Providers Program (BP2)” published by Hornung LJ et al (2024). This paper identifies 16 Terminal Learning Objectives (TLOs); and this workshop will cover 12 of these TLOs and exclude the 4-covering novel technology provision. There will be no “hands on” for the 4 procedural objectives (Decontamination, Debridement, Dressings and Decompression) but these will be discussed in detail. For each TLO the best practice plus a pragmatic adaptation for PFC or PCC will be presented.
