READING MATERIAL: TACTICS + MEDICINE 2/2019

TAKTIK + MEDIZIN can save lives. A lot of expertise from the military sector helps efficiently intervene in normal and extreme emergency situations. TAKTIK + MEDIZIN is the new specialist magazine that teaches Tactical Combat Casualty Care (TCCC) and emergency medicine in an easily readable way. The third issue has just been released. We give you a quick overview.

This is the table of contents of issue number 3. This time, there is a particularly exciting topic, not only for medical professionals; it's about the use of helicopters in life-saving missions.

And this is the current practice, for example, during the deployment of the medical corps in Africa.

And TAKTIK + MEDIZIN also provides a general introduction to the history and use of rescue helicopters in wars.

Even more practical insights: the legendary Good Friday Battle in Afghanistan, seen from the perspective of the rescue pilot.

TAKTIK + MEDIZIN also provides basic knowledge: how is the helicopter effectively used in threatening situations?

Multi-purpose use: when the police helicopter is the first responder. What should be considered?

Terrorism is an increasingly relevant issue. The double attack is often a threatening reality, here in TAKTIK + MEDIZIN the practice is examined, that the first attack is intended to attract the rescuers, while the second bomb is meant to kill as many people as possible. In countries like Iraq and Syria, this is a deadly reality.

Air is the most important element for living. Here, in TAKTIK + MEDIZIN, the focus is on proper and quick airway management.

Tactical medicine and its application in daily life: where hunting is happening, there are shots being fired. Gunshot wounds can be quickly treated with TCCC.

TAKTIK + MEDIZIN introduces the European police ATLAS network in the current issue, which fights against terrorism across Europe.

CONCLUSION: TAKTIK + MEDIZIN shines again with great information, presented in a compact way. We recommend this magazine to all those involved in trauma and emergency medicine. SPARTANAT Reading Recommendation! HERE you can order.
