"Pararescue Medical Operations (PJ MED) Handbook 8th Edition"
The Pararescue Medical Operations Handbook provides the basis for
medical procedures for rescue operations and training accidents
for USAF pararescuemen (PJs)
The revised handbook provides an overview of the principles
of PJ medicine and a patient assessment checklist. The
approach to the patient has been slightly modified from the traditional
primary and secondary survey to reflect a
more efficient and comprehensive approach to combat trauma
. These modifications are based on the experience of the PJs
and the data from the Overseas Contingency Operations. The manual
contains parts of the Tactical Combat Casualty Care (TCCC) guidelines and
the ATP Tactical Medical Emergency Protocols (TMEPS), which are aimed at
pararescue and have been modified specifically for the use of PJs
. The overarching goal remains that all PJs work according to a
uniform standard.
