Article Synopsis
- The First Care Provider (FCP) model aims to train non-medical individuals on life-threatening injury recognition and interventions, emphasizing that rapid evacuation is as critical as hemorrhage control in disaster situations.
- A study was conducted where two demographic groups were formed—one trained in the FCP curriculum and the other untrained—who then participated in a simulated mass casualty event to assess their responses.
- The results showed that the trained group reacted significantly faster than the untrained group in both recognizing the first action needed and resolving the scenario, indicating the effectiveness of the training program.
