Defence Forces - Medical Exercise 2016

Описание: The Central Medical Unit conducted a military display for a visiting party from the UCD Centre for Emergency Medical Science (CEMS) & National Ambulance Service College on the 01 Sept 2016. The display involved a tour of the Military College and DF Medical School followed by a medical exercise.

In the video you can see a dismounted infantry patrol sustaining casualties after a complex IED attack. Military First Responders (MFRs) conducted the initial treatment of the casualties before Combat Medical Technicians (CMTs) arrived in APCs and carried out a casualty evacuation (CASEVAC) to a deployed medical treatment facility (Role 1) where advanced resuscitation was conducted by a team of CMTs led by a Medical Officer. Once the casualties were stabilised they were medically evacuated (MEDEVAC) from the battlefield by helicopter.

The UCD CEMS in collaboration with the DF Medical School will run the Diploma in Military Medical Care for 23 DF students from Sept 2016 until May 2017. The Diploma is the initial entry qualification for DF personnel who wish to join the Medical Corps.
