Abstract

This academic discourse investigates the substantial limitations inherent in prehospital trauma care within hostile environments, where the prevention of potentially avoidable fatalities presents a formidable challenge. The study undertakes a rigorous analysis of primary care strategies for injuries sustained under direct threat, proposing a framework of care principles derived from Tactical Combat Casualty Care (TCCC) guidelines. Employing a descriptive methodology with a deductive approach, the research emphasizes the critical necessity for first responders to possess comprehensive knowledge of managing life threatening injuries inflicted by firearms and edged weapons. Specifically, the study evaluates the performance protocols of first responders, with a particular focus on the Buena Fe Fire Department personnel. These individuals, equipped with specialized training and essential resources, serve as the initial point of care for polytrauma victims suffering injuries to vital body regions. The immediate post incident minutes are Paramount, as patient survival hinges on prompt and effective intervention. The availability of appropriate medical supplies during this critical window is crucial for optimal patient outcomes. A central tenet of this analysis is the recognition of massive hemorrhage as the leading cause of preventable death in these high risk scenarios. Consequently, the study places significant emphasis on hemorrhage control techniques, addressing both extremity and non extremity injuries where traditional tourniquet application is rendered ineffective. Seamless coordination among emergency services, including the national police, fire department, and the Ministry of Public Health, is indispensable. This collaborative approach ensures the safety of prehospital personnel, facilitates effective patient management, and expedites the transfer of victims to appropriate healthcare facilities, thereby optimizing the chances of patient survival.
