Please watch the information you are giving in regards to medical treatments if you do not know exactly what you are doing or talking about. Not trying throw you under the bus, care should just be taken.
Also, ChefTactical, get some tape for that IFAK. Israelis are nice, but they come loose too, and you have to tape down Combat Gauze and regular gauze regardless. Also, if you use a TK, you may have to tape it in place or tape the windlass, even with a CAT.
If you wait until you see tracheal deviation before you recognize a pneumothorax, your patient is going to die. It's literally the last sign before death. Many people don't even present with tracheal deviation or jugular vein distension before they expire in a pneumothorax. Secondarily, if you need an occlusive dressing and don't have a dedicated kind, use the inside of the bandage wrapping and not a cigarette pack wrap, as it's already sterile and is tougher.
@Jonfavia this is a tricky question, as pnuemothorax or alectasis occurs the lungs collapse, while using the bolin chest seal, blood entering the lungs from the pluera cavity can cause the lung to collapse. there fore it depends on the extent of the trauma for this to help. most of the time when your dealing with a tension collapse, the bolin is worthless. your goal is to stop bleeding and insert a chest tube to remove the air through the visceral area out of the pluera asap.
So today I had one of those bacon/ chickeny sammichs from KFC. It was cool because there was no bread... just two pieces of boneless chicken with cheese and BACON between them. Felt like I had an orgasm in my mouth.
Great Vid man! I love the SOE IFAK pouch, I just bought up a whole bunch of SOE stuff, so I know John Willis has some money to keep the business going lol I am a neonatal/pediatric specialist and love the medical field, so these kind of vids interest me.
@TacticalCitySlicker I know, all my training is pre-hospital care. There's not much else I can do, man. SOP care is better than no care. I generally carry a "booboo" kit as well, but this is just my trauma kit. But in the grand scheme of things, from a realist point of view......somebody catches a bullet in WROL, there's gonna be very little we can do for them, if there is no hospital or well supplied doctor to take them to...and there sure as shit won't be any medivacs... Patrols will be bad.

Do yourself a favor...
Throw in 3-4 finger band-aids and just a bit of Bacitracin zinc. An infected finger blows something fierce.
Also you're going off the principle that the casualty is going to be evact to a CAC with in the next hour.
Not jumping on your case just trying to be helpful.
