Committee for Tactical Emergency Casualty Care (C-Tecc)

Donations to the Committee for Tactical Emergency Casualty Care (C-TECC) will fund research projects in the areas of pre-hospital trauma care to better equip our first responders and civilian active bystanders to treat the injured and prevent loss of life.

C-TECC has identified several areas of patient care that still need significant research conducted before definitive guidelines can be drafted and provided to public safety and community partners for implementation in the response to violent incidents. Some of these areas of research include: pediatric tourniquet use, resuscitation guidelines for pediatrics, wounding patterns from active shooter, methods of evacuation and effect on survival, effect of obesity on TECC equipment and guidelines, physiologic monitoring of casualties in mass casualty, and more.

C-TECC is a non-profit committee of pre-hospital and emergency medicine experts convened to speed the transition of military medical lessons learned from the battlefield to civilian crisis response in order to reduce preventable causes of death in both our first responders and civilian population.
