16. Cardiopulmonary resuscitation (CPR) in TACEVAC
a. Casualties with torso trauma or polytrauma who have no pulse or respirations dur-
ing TACEVAC should have bilateral needle decompression performed to ensure
they do not have a tension pneumothorax. The procedure is the same as described
in Section (4a) above.
b. CPR may be attempted during this phase of care if the casualty does not have
obviously fatal wounds and will be arriving at a facility with a surgical capability
within a short period of time. CPR should not be done at the expense of compro-
mising the mission or denying lifesaving care to other casualties.
17. Communication
a. Communicate with the casualty if possible. Encourage, reassure and explain care.
b. Communicate with next level of care. Relay mechanism of injury, injury types,
signs/symptoms, and treatments rendered. Provide additional information as
possible.
18. Documentation of Care (same as Tactical Field Care – see page 18)
a. Document clinical assessments, treatments rendered, and changes in the casualty’s
status on a TCCC Casualty Card (DD Form 1380). Forward this information with
the casualty to the next level of care.
