Circulation
Respiration
Airway usage
HEMORR
AGHE
March Algorithm
100

This is assessed in circulation.

What is pulse?

What is bleeding?

100

This is the main goal of respiration step


What is ensure effective breathing?


100

This is the primary goal for airway.

What is make sure casualty can breathe?

100

This is the first treatment for massive extremity bleedin.

What is a tourniquet?

100

This is what "m" stands for in March.

What is massive hemorrhage?

200

This is main goal of circulation.

What is prevent shock?

What is prevent bleeding?

200

This is a type of injuries assessed.


What is chest injuries.

200

This indicates a compromised airway.

What is unconscious or obstructed breathing?

200

This is where a tourniquet should be placed.

What is high or tight? or

What is 2-3 inches above the wound?

200

This step follows Circulation.

What is hypothermia?

300

This indicates shock.

What is weak pulse?

What is cold?

What is altered mental status?

300

This is injury requires a chest seal


What is open chest wound?

300

This is the most common airway device im TCCC.

What is Nasopharyngeal airway (NPA)?


300

DAILY DOUBLE

This is what you check on the tourniquet.

What is still tight?

What is still effective

300

This step follows airway in March.

What is respiration?

400

This is type of bleeding may exist after going through “M”

What is internal bleeding?

400

This is what happens if chest wound is untreated.


What is air enters chest cavity?


400

This is maneuver opens airway


What is Head tilt / chin lift ?

What is jaw thrust?



400

This is used to pack a wound in TCC.

What is a combat gauze?

400

This phase of care is MARCH primarily used in.

What is Tactical Field Care?

500

This is where you check for pulse on a casualty. 

What is radial pulse(wrist)?

What is carotid pulse (neck)?

500

This is a major preventable cause of death in combat related to respiration


What is Tension pneumothorax?


500

This is what you do when NPA fails.


What is advanced airway?

What is Cricothyrotomy?


500

You would use a second tourniquet in this scenario.

What is if bleeding is not controlled?

Or what is first tourniquet is not effective?

500

DAILY DOUBLE

This is the correct order of MARCH.

What is Massive hemorrhage, airway, respiration, circulation, and hypothermia?
