Regional Anaesthesia in the Field – Ultrasound-Guided Techniques for Upper and Lower Extremities

This hands-on workshop introduces basic ultrasound-guided regional anaesthesia techniques for prehospital use in operational and field environments. The focus is on effective and easy-to-learn procedures for pain management of upper and lower extremity injuries, proven to be feasible even under tactical conditions.
Following a concise theoretical introduction, participants will take part in a hands-on session using models or phantoms, where they will become familiar with the use of ultrasound devices and practice selected nerve block techniques in a controlled setting.
The aim of the workshop is to provide participants with a solid overview of selected regional anaesthesia techniques and to familiarize them with the fundamental principles and procedural workflows.

Advanced Airway Management

This workshop offers an opportunity to train a variety of techniques for airway management, with the latest devices on different mannequins. This includes extraglottic devices, direct- and video- laryngoscopic intubation, even under difficult conditions like bleeding or aspiration, fiberoptic-assisted intubation and emergency front of neck access (cricothyreotomy) in case of a ""can’t intubate, can't oxygenate"" (CICO) situation.
Our goal is to enable participants to secure patients' airway according to algorithm in a deployed setting as well as in a civilian environment.

There´s a Wound, I Have To Fix It – Wound Care In The Tactical Situation

Key topics include:
• General principles of tactical wound care
• Management of severe body cavity injuries (e.g., evisceration, thoracic trauma)
• Treatment of burn injuries
• Initial care of stump injuries

Mission C-Schutz: Notfallmedizin zwischen Adrenalin und ABC-Lage

In diesem interaktiven Workshop steigen wir tief ein in die Welt des medizinischen C-Schutzes. Was passiert bei einem Angriff mit chemischen Kampfstoffen? Wie erkennt man toxische Substanzgruppen schnell und zuverlässig – und vor allem: Wie handelt man richtig unter Druck?

Im Fokus stehen die wichtigsten Toxidrome, die bei chemischen Bedrohungslagen auftreten können – von Nervenkampfstoffen über Hautkampfstoffe bis zu Opioden. Gemeinsam erarbeiten wir klare Handlungsmuster, diagnostische „Red Flags“ und priorisierte Versorgungsstrategien.

Für das praxisnahe medizinische Training (simulierte taktische Verwundetenversorgung SimTCCC) bei einer chemischen Bedrohungssituation mit potentiell oder sicher verwundeten Patienten wird eine Mixed-Reality (MR) Lösung verwendet. Hier wird eine realitätsnahe virtuelle, situations- und szenariospezifische Umgebung geschaffen, in der trainiert werden kann.

Es wird die medizinische Versorgung nach den aktuell gültigen Guidelines, mittels scharfen Versorgungsmaterial an einer realen Person und mit ihren eigenen Händen simuliert. Dieser Workshop soll Ihnen die Möglichkeit bieten, Hands-On-Zeit im System zu bekommen und somit diese neue Trainingsmethode ausgiebig kennenzulernen.

Tauchen Sie ein in eine neue Art des medizinischen Trainings.

Extended Reality INTERAKTIV, IMMERSIV und INDIVIDUELL Industrieworkshop ESG/CAE

"Medical training forms the foundation for efficient performance in stressful situations. Simulated Tactical Combat Casualty Care (SimTCCC), a mixed-reality (MR) solution, was developed to enable emergency personnel to practice tactical casualty care in a realistic, virtual, situation- and scenario-specific environment.
SimTCCC offers the opportunity to immerse yourself in a highly immersive simulated environment. By combining the two worlds (real and virtual), you can practice medical care according with your own hands, and your own live medical stuff on a real person and on simulators.
This workshop is intended to give you the opportunity to gain hands-on time with the system and thus become thoroughly familiar with this new training method. Immerse yourself in a new type of medical training."

Improvised Medicine

In austere, hostile, or resource-limited environments, medical personnel often face the challenge of delivering effective care with minimal equipment. This hands-on workshop focuses on the principles and practice of Improvised Medicine — using only what the operator has at hand.
This session is designed for medics, first responders, and military healthcare professionals operating in unpredictable or prolonged field care (PFC) situations. No prior knowledge of improvised techniques is required — just bring your curiosity and your kit.

Der Kindernotfall im Rahmen von taktischen Lagen/Konflikten

Dieser Workshop richtet sich an Ärzte, Notfallsanitäter, Medics, Einsatzsanitäter und militärische Ersthelfer, welche in die schwierige Situation kommen könnten, Kinder im Rahmen eines Einsatzes, einer taktischen Lage oder eines konventionellen oder unkonventionellen Konflikts behandeln zu müssen. Der Workshop hat Seminarcharakter und soll zunächst den Teilnehmer dazu befähigen, ein kritisch krankes oder verwundetes Kind zügig zu identifizieren. Ziel ist es, auch mit Fallbeispielen gemeinsam zu erarbeiten, wann eine Behandlung notwendig wird und was zu tun ist, wenn nur wenig, ggf. nicht adäquates Equipment vorhanden ist, und wo die "pitfalls" im Umgang mit Kindern liegen.

Open Market: Hämostyptika und MedEvac-Gadgets im Überblick

Im Rahmen der Workshop-Zeitslots bietet der zweigeteilte Open Market eine Gelegenheit, medizinische Produkte und technische Ausrüstung im Detail kennenzulernen – anschaulich präsentiert, greifbar gemacht und ohne feste Anmeldung zugänglich.

Im ersten Bereich liegt der Fokus auf Hämostyptika. Verschiedene Produkte zur Blutstillung werden nicht nur durch Demonstrationen vorgestellt, sondern stehen auch für praktische Erprobung zur Verfügung. Die Teilnehmenden haben die Möglichkeit, unterschiedliche Materialien und Wirkweisen direkt zu vergleichen und ein Gefühl für Anwendung und Handhabung zu bekommen.

Der zweite Bereich widmet sich nützlichen Ausstattungen für die medizinische Evakuation (MedEvac). Von Beatmungsgeräten über Telemedizingeräte bis hin zu kompakten Monitoring-Gadgets werden verschiedene Systeme gezeigt, die im Einsatz unterstützen können. Auch hier steht das praktische Erleben im Vordergrund: Geräte können in Betrieb genommen, ausprobiert und miteinander verglichen werden.

Der Open Market bietet damit eine praxisnahe Ergänzung zum Workshop-Programm – mit offenem Zugang, anschaulichen Präsentationen und der Möglichkeit zum direkten Kontakt mit moderner und innovativer Medizintechnik.

Topics include:

• Managing massive hemorrhage using FOLEY catheters, improvised tourniquets, and pelvic stabilization with unconventional tools
• Preventing trauma-induced hypothermia using commonly available materials and administering warmed fluids from personal medical gear
• Performing a CRIC procedure using non-standard combat medic equipment

Prolonged Field Care (PFC)

Workshop Objectives:
- Promote Cutting-Edge Solutions: Highlight the capabilities of Cosinuss, MedicTool, and CoROM in improving PFC practices.
- Improve Real-Life Training: Provide hands-on experience in managing complex trauma cases in austere environments.

Key Features:
- Cosinuss: Revolutionizing patient monitoring with live transmission of vital signs(pulse, SpO2, and temperature) directly to Medic Tool.
- Medic Tool: Supporting medics with advanced documentation, treatment protocols,equipment management, and live updates to the backend.
- CoROM: Delivering world-class training and education in Prolonged Field Care.

Workshop Scenario:
Participants will be divided into four stations, each featuring a team of five. The exercise begins with a simulated trauma patient being handed over using digital TCCC cards by "tapping" a phone with the patient data onto the team's tablet. Teams will then:
- Initiate PFC treatment.
- Document actions in real-time using Medic Tool.
- Utilize Cosinuss’ live monitoring for accurate and efficient care. The workshop setup replicates a field clinic, complete with equipment and scenarios designed to challenge participants and strengthen their PFC capabilities.

Execution Plan for the PFC Workshop at CMC 2025

Pre-Workshop Training Access (Not Mandatory)
Medic Tool Online Training:
• Registered participants will receive access to online training modules for Medic Tool.
• The modules will cover features such as documentation, protocol support, equipment management, and real-time patient status updates.

Cosinuss Online Training:
• Participants will learn how to use Cosinuss devices for live vital monitoring, including pulse, SpO2, and temperature.

CoROM PFC Introduksjon
