The Stop-the-Bleed and basic airway breakout session is a comprehensive review of two common trauma fundamentals. Airway and hemorrhage control are two clinical areas where rapid intervention can truly save lives. The Flight For Life flight team will combine these two fundamentals into a real world scenario for valuable training.

Since it’s adoption in the early 1980s, the BCDTM has been the defacto gold standard for rope rescue belay efficacy. A number of standards such as NFPA 2500 (1983) and ASTM F2436 utilize BCDTM parameters as the underpinnings of their performance criteria. As innovation in the rope rescue community continues at record pace with regard to tools, techniques and strategies, many have begun to question the validity of the BCDTM. Does the BCDTM currently address the capabilities and limitations of modern ropework systems? How effective is the BCDTM in assessing Two Tensioned Rope Systems?
