Capnography LECTURE

Capnography and Ventilation – Dr. David Neubert
This downloadable guide offers a clear, practical overview of capnography and its critical role in airway management and ventilation monitoring. Designed for tactical medics and emergency responders, it outlines real-world applications, waveform interpretation, and best practices in prehospital and combat care environments.

ETCO2 and Conscious Sedation ARTICLE

This academic study explores how end-tidal carbon dioxide (ETCOâ‚‚) monitoring provides early detection of respiratory depression during procedural sedation—well before changes in pulse oximetry occur. Clinicians will gain insight into the comparative safety of sedatives and the role of capnography in identifying subclinical hypoventilation, ultimately helping improve outcomes during emergency department sedation.

ETCO2 and Cardiac Arrest Outcomes ARTICLE 

This study explores the use of end-tidal carbon dioxide (EtCOâ‚‚) levels as a reliable indicator during cardiopulmonary resuscitation for patients experiencing pulseless electrical activity (PEA). The findings demonstrate that persistently low EtCOâ‚‚ values (≤10 mm Hg) after 20 minutes of resuscitation can predict nonsurvivability with high accuracy—offering life-saving guidance on when to terminate efforts.

EKG interpretation LECTURE 

EKG Interpretation Lecture – Clinical Overview and Case Series

This comprehensive lecture combines foundational EKG interpretation with a wide-ranging case series covering overdose, cardiac emergencies, arrhythmias, ischemia patterns, and conduction blocks. Designed for field medics, clinicians, and trainees, it includes practical rhythm analysis, axis determination, bundle branch blocks, and real-world examples to reinforce rapid decision-making in critical care settings.

EKG Lecture Case Interpretations

EKG Interpretation Case Review – Dr. David Neubert
This document provides expert-level analysis of 17 EKG case scenarios, covering critical presentations such as tricyclic antidepressant overdose, wide complex SVT, inferior wall MI, hyperkalemia-induced changes, and various AV blocks. Ideal for tactical medics and clinical trainees, this guide offers treatment recommendations and pattern recognition tips grounded in real-world emergency medicine.

Basics of Incident Command

Incident Command System (ICS) Quick Reference – Dr. David Neubert
This field-ready guide provides a practical, tactical overview of the EMS role in mass casualty incident (MCI) management using the Incident Command System (ICS). Designed for first-in units and EMS leadership, the cheat sheet outlines critical roles, communication strategies, triage hierarchy, and unified command structure for both small and large-scale events—including tactical or active shooter scenarios.

Triage Examples Handout 

Mass Casualty Incident (MCI) Triage Scenario Exercise

This interactive training handout presents nine detailed patient scenarios designed to challenge and sharpen rapid triage decision-making in mass casualty incidents. Covering airway management, trauma assessment, emotional distraction, and lightning strike response, it reinforces START triage principles and includes clear answers for self-assessment or team-based discussion.

Educational Emergency Readiness Flier 

Emergency Readiness for Educational Facilities – Tac-Med Training Overview

This downloadable flier outlines Tac-Med’s specialized consulting and training services for schools and educational institutions. It highlights key offerings such as emergency plan reviews, disaster preparedness, first aid instruction for staff and students, and active shooter response training for local responders. Ideal for administrators and safety coordinators seeking practical, field-tested readiness strategies.
