SLIDE 3 – TLO/ELO
The TCCC-CLS course is built on a foundation of
learning objectives. These objectives lay out the basic
structure of the course and describe the knowledge
and skills you are expected to acquire by the end of
the course.
The module has one Terminal Learning Objective, or
TLO. The TLO is supported by a series of Enabling
Learning Objectives, or ELOs. This graphic shows how
the ELOs are mapped to the TLOs. The blue dot is the
one cognitive or knowledge learning objective for this module, which is to identify signs of an airway
obstruction. The green dots are the four performance objectives focused on skills and include:
1. Demonstrating opening the airway with the head-tilt chin-lift or jaw-thrust maneuver
2. Demonstrating placing a casualty in the recovery position in Tactical Field Care
3. Demonstrating inserting a nasopharyngeal airway (NPA) into a casualty in Tactical Field Care
4. Describing the technique for ventilating a casualty with a bag valve mask (BVM) in Tactical Field Care
The critical aspects are to identify signs of life-threatening airway obstruction and the importance of
prompt intervention and to demonstrate the appropriate interventions to address airway obstruction in
accordance with the CoTCCC guidelines.
Airway obstruction on the battlefield is often easily corrected with simple maneuvers.

the following skills:

SLIDE 12 – CASUALTY POSITIONING
Place unconscious casualties in the recovery
position after ensuring their airway is open and
completing any necessary treatments.
The recovery position allows blood and mucus to drain
out of the casualty’s nose and mouth and not to drain
back into the airway.
The recovery position also helps to protect against
inhaling vomit if the casualty throws up.

SLIDE 16 – AIRWAY SKILLS STATION
At this time we will break into skill stations to practice
the following skills:
• Recovery Position
SLIDE 17 – SUMMARY
Prompt identification of airway obstruction and
treatment are critical and can be accomplished, in
most cases, with simple maneuvers/interventions by
a CLS in the TFC phase of care.
