File: 970207_aadci_093.txtODS MEDICAL LESSONS LEARNED C3I and TRAINING CATEGORIES TRAINING ISSUE NO. 2 Providers Must Train on Wartime Equipment (SGHR ITEMS NOs. 7, 140) DISCUSSION: Medical personnel should have ongoing training at home MTFs treating patients using actual field equipment prepositioned at contingency sites. Anesthesia personnel at one facility refused to administer anesthesia for non-emergent surgical procedures unless they were overwhelmed with casualties. Felt equipment was less than "state of the art." RECOMMENDATIONS: Medical personnel train with actual field equipment at home MTF during peacetime. Validate adequacy of contingency anesthesia equipment. Personnel must be trained on equipment. ACTIONS REQUIRED: Determine appropriate equipment training requirements for medical personnel during peacetime. Validate adequacy of contingency anesthesia equipment. Ensure adequate training on DEPMEDs equipment for medical personnel. ACTIONS COMPLETED: The ACC Medical Group Composite Plans is addressing this issue. Personnel not involved in this initiative are afforded such training at Sheppard AFB and/or Alpina based on their mission. Sheppard is responsible for exercising 2E through 500-bed taskings. In addition, WARMEDs now focuses on skill-specific training. STATUS: OPEN.
