The participants of the training practiced the correct application of the tourniquet, tried to apply dry and wet tamponade on their own, and learned about the basic skills needed to provide medical care according to the MARCH algorithm. In addition, in order to bring the exercises as close as possible to real conditions, a substitute for real blood was used during the manipulations.
