“The US Military had not effectively sustained many of the lessons learned from past
conflicts and went to war in Afghanistan without wide availability of tourniquets,
without modern battlefield analgesics, without prehospital plasma, and without
trauma care guidelines designed specifically for use on the battlefield. Hemostatic
dressings had not yet been developed and fielded. There was no military deployed
trauma system, no Department of Defense trauma registry (DoDTR), no weekly
worldwide trauma teleconferences to review treatments and outcomes for all
casualties occurring in the preceding week, and no Committee on Tactical Combat
Casualty Care (CoTCCC).”

TCCC Critical Decision Videos
- The Casualty
• Casualty awake
• Facial wounds to lower jaw and teeth
• Blood in the mouth
• Casualty noted to have noisy, rapid breathing while in
supine position
• Struggling to breathe
Question
What is the next action you should take?
1) Cricothyroidotomy
2) Nasopharyngeal airway
3) Endotracheal intubation
4) Allow a conscious casualty to assume any position that
best protects the airway, to include sitting up.
52
TCCC Critical Decision Videos
Correct Answer and Feedback
The correct answer is (4). The diagnosis is potential
airway obstruction due to maxillofacial injuries. The
principle is to open the airway. Since the casualty is
conscious, Allow the conscious casualty to assume
any position that best protects the airway, to include
sitting up and leaning forward.
