Indeed, crucial first aid is often entrusted to non-medical personnel. Therefore, tactical medicine trains healthcare professionals, but also other professionals (such as military and other law enforcement personnel) and helps manage and stabilize patients in critical conditions—shock, severe trauma, cardiac arrest, respiratory failure—in synergy with doctors and nurses.
