Dedika is a platform where you learn by doing—like creating a business proposal, becoming a nail technician, or mastering a new tool. No matter your goal, the best content on the topic already exists. But it’s often in another language, expensive, scattered online, lacking hands-on activities, or part of a course that’s too long for busy people. That’s why Dedika has its own method: we find the best material wherever it is, organize what fits your goals, review it with experts who are available to answer your questions, and create practical exercises so you can learn by doing. You’re at the center of your learning journey and know yourself best: choose the content and course length, whether you want to study online or offline, and in the format you prefer—video, text, audio, or summary. Learn your way, with only what makes sense for you. Here, every moment you dedicate counts more, and you reach what matters faster.

Our courses include a summary at the end of each chapter, which you can download as a PDF and print.

Dedika for businesses

What you will learn:

You will master the three phases of TECC care and know exactly which interventions are appropriate at each stage. You will develop hands-on proficiency in tourniquet application, wound packing, airway management, chest trauma treatment, and shock recognition. The course also covers traumatic brain injury assessment, burn management, hypothermia prevention, and pediatric casualty adaptations. You will practice structured communication using MIST and SBAR handoff formats to ensure continuity of care. Supplementary modules address CBRN threats, tactical pain management, and responder stress resilience. By the end, you will be prepared to manage casualties from point of injury through evacuation handoff with confidence and precision.

Addresses bleeding at the groin, axilla, and neck where tourniquets cannot be applied. Introduces junctional devices and improvised pressure techniques.
Lesson 3 • Tourniquet Application Techniques
Covers commercial and improvised tourniquet selection, placement, and tightening. Students practice one-handed self-application and peer application on limb models.
Lesson 4 • Wound Packing and Pressure
Teaches hemostatic gauze packing for junctional and non-limb wounds. Connects packing technique to sustained direct pressure protocols.
Lesson 5 • Hemorrhage Control Under Fire
Integrates bleeding control skills into Direct Threat Care scenarios with movement and cover. Reinforces the priority of suppression before treatment.

Chapter 3See details

Airway Management in Tactical Settings

Lesson 1 • Nasopharyngeal Airway Insertion
Teaches sizing, lubrication, and insertion of the nasopharyngeal airway adjunct. Students practice on task trainers and identify contraindications.
Lesson 2 • Positioning and Manual Maneuvers
Covers recovery position, head-tilt chin-lift, and jaw thrust for unconscious casualties. Connects positional interventions to phase-appropriate care decisions.
Lesson 3 • Airway Anatomy and Physiology
Reviews upper and lower airway structures relevant to obstruction and intervention. Establishes anatomical landmarks used in all subsequent airway skills.
Lesson 4 • Supraglottic Airway Devices
Introduces insertion and confirmation of supraglottic devices for apneic casualties. Addresses device selection criteria and failure recognition.
Lesson 5 • Surgical Airway as Last Resort
Covers the indications and steps for emergency cricothyrotomy when other methods fail. Emphasizes decision criteria and technique under operational stress.

Chapter 4See details

Respiration and Chest Trauma Management

Lesson 1 • Needle Thoracostomy Decompression
Teaches landmark identification and needle insertion for tension pneumothorax relief. Addresses both anterior and lateral approaches with confirmation steps.
Lesson 2 • Chest Seal Application
Covers vented and non-vented chest seal selection and application technique. Students practice on wound simulators and assess seal effectiveness.
Lesson 3 • Recognizing Chest Injuries
Teaches rapid assessment signs for pneumothorax, hemothorax, and open chest wounds. Connects clinical signs to immediate intervention priorities.
Lesson 4 • Rib Fractures and Flail Chest
Identifies clinical presentation of rib fractures and flail chest segments. Covers stabilization and ventilation support within TECC scope.
Lesson 5 • Chest Anatomy and Injury Mechanisms
Reviews thoracic structures and how penetrating and blunt forces cause injury. Provides the anatomical foundation for all chest trauma interventions.

Chapter 5See details

Circulation and Shock Management
