Tactical Medicine Unfiltered: High-Threat Care with Stephen Wood. Part 1

Welcome back to the Pre-Hospital Care Podcast. In this episode,
I’m joined by Stephen Wood, emergency nurse practitioner,
educator, and host of Tac Medic Whiskey: The Tactical Medicine
Podcast. Steve brings a wealth of experience from pre-hospital
care, the emergency department, and the tactical environment, and
he’s become a prominent voice in the evolving landscape of
high-threat medicine. His podcast dives deep into the challenges
and innovations of tactical pre-hospital care, blending clinical
insight with real-world operational experience.


In our conversation, we explore everything from the use of TXA
and calcium chloride in trauma to the nuanced decisions between
needle decompression and finger thoracostomy. We’ll talk about
the importance of team cohesion, the mental toll of working in
high-stress environments, and how to build resilience in the
field. We also examine emerging technologies, training
innovations, and what the future might hold for tactical medics
across the globe.

just curious about the realities of medicine in hostile or
austere environments, this episode offers invaluable insights
from an educator and Nurse Practitioner, Steve Wood. You can find
