Navy Marine Corps Combat Trauma (CTR) Program

[CTR Registrar]

Is there anybody out there that is currently, or has used the Navy Marine Corps Combat Trauma (CTR) form? It is the 2 page self carboned white/tellow form used mostly in the OIF area of Operation, and currently used by some personnel from the SPMAGTF forces operating in OEF. If you have and need support or want to discuss, let's do it. I am the POC for this program.

Can you scan & post a copy as training aid for the forum?

Its the form that has the anatomical man front and back on it, where you draw on the wounds at their actual location? I used one once if so.

Are you thinking of the SF531, as that has the anatomical picture on it, but I don't recall it being carbonized or having more than one page?

[Theonecalleddoc]

Negative boss man, the form I am thinking of has a similar picture but smaller and it is positioned on the left of the form. On the right side there are check boxes where you select things like "GSW", "Blast Injury", and demagraphics (spelling?). You complete one in addition to a SF600, they are designed to give the Navy and Marine Corps Combat Trauma Registry the most information possible reguarding combat casualties. From what I gather the CTR is a group of civilian trauma experts who combined the data and give feedback to the DoD. The types of injuries recieved are assested and the DoD takes action when applicable. The shoulder pads created for turret gunners were a result of the CTR data, from what I understand anyways. Could be wrong though...

Ahh ok...sounds a lot like what I used to use on the ambulance when I running EMS - I never understood why we didn't have something similiar on the ship. Good to hear that it's being used in the field as something like that always seemed to make much more sense seeing as how the flow of casualty management was more aligned with EMS.

Correction, the CTR is maintained at the Naval Health Research Center on an electronic database. Still reading up on it though so I might add more.

[CTR Registrar]

You are correct, the N-MC Combat Trauma Form has the anatomical figure on the left with the Personal Protective Equipment checkboxes, along with Mechanisms of Injury, Care Prior to Arrival and others. The Navy offices, ONR,BUMED and others rely on the data points which are maintained in a database at Naval Helth Research Center. Many studies have produced significant contributions to the Navy medical community.

CTR or TOCD,

Any way to post a copy so we can see it like HMC asked earlier?

Thanks.

[CTR Registrar]

Here is the N-MC Health Deployment form.

CTR,

Thanks for posting that, it looks very similar to my old EMS run sheets...

Here is the N-MC Health Deployment form.

Thank you!

Its a pretty intuitive form, but as long as we have the subject matter expert on board, do you have any training material available?

[CTR Registrar]

Yes, I have the training material that I use when I send the forms forward.

Looks good! my question is, if it is only for DOD use or would this be what goes along with the patients medical record. Reason I ask is from the Role 2/3 forward surgical hospitals I was helo'ed to after my IED blast, it was foreign hospitals with a few ARMY doc's there in afghanistan. I was treated by Romanian and british at the role 2 and canadians at the role 3 in kandahar afghanistan....the Nato forms they used on me looked excactly the same so my question is how is this form used? Most Helo's get timed in afghanistan and get there fairly quickly..so I can't imagine having to fill out one of those and treat patients at the same time.

[CTR Registrar]

The form is carbon form, white and yellow. The white copy stays with the patient's record and the yellow one is sent back to NHRC for inclusion into the deployment health database. There is a good chance that the form you saw at the NATO facilities is the same form, or similar to ours. We do get the Marine Corps CASEVAC squadrons to provide enroute care on these forms.

[MexDoc]

makes sense, thanks.
