  5. BATAAN Mass Casualty “First step in assessing a trauma patient…check your own pulse.” -Trauma teams were developed during BATAAN PHIBRON MARINE INTEGRATED TRAINING (PMINT) and ARG/MEU exercises -Involved 3 FSTs (FST 6); 3 waves of approximately 15 patients each -Internal and external observers; Hot wash after each wave and EOD -Exercised triage, receiving bays, OR, ICU including lab, x-ray, MAOs

  6. BATAAN Mass Casualty • Functional simulators allowed: • Vital sign assessment • Airway management • IV/IO • Needle decompression • Chest tube placement • Surgical airway • External fixators • Tourniquet app/hemorrhage control • Laparotomy • Thoracotomy

  7. Outcomes/Lessons Learned • A high bar has been set • Post exercise survey of participants revealed a high degree of satisfaction (greater confidence/resiliency advantage) • Line officers also indicated heightened confidence level in LHD capability • Disproportionate knowledge and skill deficits were noted along unit alignment

  8. Lessons Learned • Triage • Communication • Coordination/hand-offs • Knowledge/location of inventory • Proper in-service on infrequently used equipment • Patient tracking

  9. Future Plans • Include Ship’s Company to fullest extent possible in all aspects of training • Involve Marine component in exercise as part of integrated certification • Develop formalized training-simulation-certification packages for multiple platforms (BUMED/USFF)
