Алгоритм надання домедичної допомоги в бойових умовах – MARCH PAWS. Тестове відео для навчання — Transcript & Summary

A training video from a Ukrainian business academy demonstrating the MARCH PAWS combat first aid algorithm, starting with bleeding control and airway assessment.

Key Takeaways

MARCH PAWS prioritizes massive hemorrhage control before airway management
Airway must be verified clear while minimizing cervical spine movement
Tourniquet application should be tight to effectively stop bleeding
Systematic step-by-step assessment is central to combat first aid

Chapters

What does the MARCH PAWS algorithm stand for?

MARCH PAWS is a combat casualty care sequence where M stands for massive hemorrhage, A for airway, R for respiration, C for circulation, H for hypothermia/head injury, and PAWS covers pain, antibiotics, wounds, and splinting. The video covers the early steps, starting with bleeding control and then airway assessment.

Why should neck movement be limited when checking the airway?

The video advises not moving the neck too much and locking the jaw, which protects the cervical spine in case of a spinal injury. Airway checks must be done carefully to avoid worsening potential damage.

What is the first priority in this algorithm according to the video?

The first priority shown is controlling massive bleeding, including applying a tight tourniquet. Only after the first assessment and procedure are completed does the video move on to checking the airway.
