[SmokeyLongFoot]

[SuperAhmedamr]

fuck this is stupid

[MrCptnPlanet]

l0l this bitch cut some other bitch for a youtube video!@#

[dest1019]

stop its acting

[buitrago1979]

i cut myself pretty deep to see if this would work and I'll give it a three out of five for helping me stop some of the bleeding. oh well time for a nap just got really sleepy....

[GlitterMeUp22]

ITS PROBABLY KETCHUP GUYS!

[t0xIcInSaNiTy15]

next....amputation :)

[dest1019]

no she did not god you

[ry4n0007]

FAIL:

you need to apply disinfectant and or saline water to clean wound first then apply dressings.

Maybe I should make a video and show how it is done?

[goge1807]

@ry4n0007 I agree with you in cleaning the wound first, but as long as it is bleeding out it keeps the wound clean or at least no bacteria or other particles get inside the wound. But still cleaning the wound is not wrong. And hey, please make a video, youtube needs more GOOD first aid vids ;)

[boldcrazyman]

@ry4n0007 you would only clean the wound first if it was a minor cut the barely bled. if bloods just gushing out cleaning it wont do shit until you stop the bleeding.

[ry4n0007]

@boldcrazyman

that would be the smart thing to do.

[YedenChant]

yes, we all magically have that all on site when someone gets cut...

[Snickerbockers]

you can see it coming there..

[lmbnlmbn]

This is correct, but you should elevate the injured area above the heart to reduce the blood flow :)

[k0vert]

what a bad parent. she cut her own daughter just for a youtube video.

[Hotchocolate1494]

@k0vert I don't think she actually CUT her child.

[xBigGreg92x]

@k0vert i was just thinking the same thing, what a shame :|

[spankabajanka]

how the hell does that little girl keep getting hurt in every video?

[RyGuy5320]

@spankabajanka The wounds are fake, they use the girl to simulate a victim. Simulate being the operative word there...

[LtHotchkiss]

@M30WDRUMMER dont worry about reattaching a finger thats a surgeons job. But if an amputation should occur retrive the amputated part if possible and put it on ice. Then Apply direct pressure and elevate the stump to stop the bleeding. Amputations may have anything from mild bleeding to very severe bleeding. Treat for Shock. If the bleeding gets too severe apply a tourniquet.

[snowball389]

so what do you do when that clots to the bandage i wonder

[TRIXSTER03]

@snowball389--You could use a non-stick dressing if your worried about it

[MooCow354]

it should have been elevated to help slow the bleeding

[vickiormindyb]

The one thing they forget to mention in most first aid classes is that the patient will be nowhere near as calm as the ones used for demonstration.

And if the patient's a child, you usually have two victims b/c most mothers think they're doing something by screaming and carrying on, and you end up having to yell over top of them in order to be heard.

Dealing w/ the emotional impact of emergencies is the most difficult part of my job.

[GoodEvenings]

she cut her childs hand to make this video hahaha

[wowitsmekate]

i love how she's chomping on gum the whole time LOL

[nody44]

@wowitsmekate LoL

[picapop123]

is she the woman off misery?

[assgreenemorgan]

Damn! Is that real blood!!!

[xbox9788]

just wondering how did they find a girl that was already bleeding lol... they probably just stabbed her hand lmao hahahaha

[Superxdudez]

Lol...idiot girl!!!

[inchymo188]

This girl is like in all the vids rofl, is this acting or is she really getting hurt alot hehe?

[NinjasOfUtica]

i think wayne brady had to cut a bitch

[voicubogdan84]

nice acting skills! :D

[Magyar126]

thank god for youtube thats all i have to say. and expert village. saved my fricken job right now.

[vceda]

Im sorry but this video is full of crap... examples, where are you gonna find gloves if you run into a bleeding injured in middle of open road? where are you gonna find bandages? and preasure ON the cut? a cut located there should be presed at elbow or several cm above injury, presing a cut like that could do more damage than help...

[TRIXSTER03]

Well, if you are on the road you may have a first aid kit in your car with gloves and bandaids. She is applying pressure to the wound do control bleeding. It won't do more damage.

[yoyoimhome]

CARRY A FIRST AID KIT!!!!! And you obviously don't know anything about first aid/medical. She's stopping the bleeding by applying pressure. Which is always how it's done and will not have any worse effects if the bleeding is stopped or not stopped.

[fishcity100]

how bout some disinfectant? or maybe hydro peroxide? sure itll hurt like heck but it wont get infected......

[TRIXSTER03]

You should never use Hydrogen Peroxide. Get yourself some sterile saline/ benzalkonium chloride/ baxedin

[fishcity100]

ive used hydro for everything all my life, never had problems with it. if you have a different oppinion about what to use well thats cool, i was just makin a suggestion based on what ive found effective.

[TRIXSTER03]

Ya, that's fine. lol. Everyone has their suggestions. It does work great. Only problem is it burns skin tissue.

[yoyoimhome]

Usually when you say "NEVER USE HYDROGEN PEROXIDE" it's not a matter of opinion. It's a command

[TRIXSTER03]

no, that's not true. I said never, because it's a very strong opinion. I said never, not only because it's a strong opinion but it is not the best form of treatment to use. Hydrogen Peroxide, will burn layers of the t's skin. Benzalkonium Chloride is not that harsh. BZK doesn't even burn the skin. Hydrogen Peroxide is rarely used today to treat lacerations. BZK or Sodium Chloride or baxedin is what is now most commonly used. I didn't say that you can't use HP to treat cuts I suggested not to.

[yoyoimhome]

And I never said that BZK was bad for cuts. I use BZK all the time!!!

[TRIXSTER03]

I know that. You said that it was not as harsh as HP. BZK isn't harsh at all. I never said you said it was bad.

[TRIXSTER03]

Also, saying never is not necessarily a command. Never can also mean that something is not really appropriate or suitable under certain circumstances. I said never use hydro.prox. because as a Healthcare Professional, Hydrogen peroxide is not the best solution to use to clean wounds. It will burn layers of skin tissue. Especially on deep cuts. Sterile saline is one of the better items to use to clean a wound and prevent infection.

[yoyoimhome]

everyone needs to stop getting all "I HATE HYDROGEN PEROXIDE!!!" it's been used for years with no problem! It is harsher than Benzalkonium Chloride but it does not destroy too much tissue. Ive done research on it and asked my doctor. (My dad's a Nurse)

[Doodle795]

YOu could also use Tea Tree . It smells kind of strong but it dosn't burn . Even on the deeper cuts .

[peptoman2]

I think Hydro Peroxide damages the cell walls, creating scars, but if its the closest thing there is, then use it. <-- dont quote me on this though :P

[yoyoimhome]

Naaah. Some clean water will do if it is inside a house. Hydrogen Peroxide is meant for small cuts.

[gaaralovervampire]

aww evie you were so young xDD

[ebianirocks]

how is she just RANDOMLY cut and your making a vid

[TRIXSTER03]

It's casualty simulation injury. It's a special first aid patient make-up kit for making wounds, burns, and various other things. Used for training only.

[TRIXSTER03]

It's casualty simulation blood. it's a fake injury made to show you an example of the specifc injury in which is being treated and discussed.

[masterrotc]

i would be passed out by then

[ashleydrums2006]

Uhh no reason really,

just got some questions,

that only med geniousees may answer. :)

[TRIXSTER03]

ahh ok

[ashleydrums2006]

Wait..

who is TRIXSTER03??

[TRIXSTER03]

I am

[ashleydrums2006]

i know.. but r u the doctor in this video??

or A doctor??

[TRIXSTER03]

no I am not a doctor. I am and advanced medical first responder. I am just under a paramedic. Why do you ask?

[SinComedy]

im pretty sure it wont stop that fast

she forgot to mention that u have to elevate the wound-learnt that in bronze med

its common sense

[gnome2022]

was that a real cut

[abercrombiegurlies]

i cant even tell you how hard im laughing right now. its a huge fake gash, so just put some shit over it and tape it up.gotta love how the bleeding stops in 10 seconds. so when i slash myself in the jugular im gonna put some old shirts and tape over it. YAY !!!! i think i might die .

[TRIXSTER03]

Obviously it's fake. It for simulation purposes. And controlling bleeding from the jugular will take longer to control than a bleed like this.

[M30WDRUMMER]

how do you attach a finger back

[TRIXSTER03]

Depends on if the finger is a complete amputation or a partial amputation. For first aid attendants, certain procedures (treatment wise,) are slightly different. Either way you should go see the doctor to get it re-attached. Try to get to the hospital within the "Golden Hour," so that you can have a greater chance of getting the finger re-attached with the majority of motor function in that finger back to a normal level.

[nasonguy]

@M30WDRUMMER You don't... leave that for surgeons... If a finger or toe is completed severed from the body, you're going to want to wrap it up in some damp cloth/gauze, put it in a zip lock (or other sealable plastic bag), and keep it cool (not frozen though) in some cold water. That way you can transport it to a hospital. Of course, there will probably be bleeding and such, you'll want to stop that... Then get the person and severed digit to a hospital.

[M30WDRUMMER]

@nasonguy  it was a joke hahahaha

[nasonguy]

@M30WDRUMMER haha, ok. Well, now, if anyone ever wonders, and sees this post, they are set. :)

[vickiormindyb]

@M30WDRUMMER You don't, the ER doctor does.

Put ice in a bag and seal the bag, then place the body part on top of the bag and wrap a cloth around the back.

Keeping it cold will make it more likely for the patient to be able to use the extremity once it's sewn back on.

I'm a paramedic, that's how I know. We have to put body parts in Zero ice bags on a regular basis.

BTW do the ice bag second. Stop the bleeding first.

[M30WDRUMMER]

@vickiormindyb ok thank u but i was joking

[TrueFreek]

@M30WDRUMMER Duct tape.

[sachmomyparrot]

@M30WDRUMMER you have to reattacth muscil and legements and stich it up

[247XPRESS]

and, of course, if all else fails duct tape it. If it appears to need stitches but you are too lazy or running out of time, super glue works...trust me i do this all the time...

[TRIXSTER03]

If you use a tourniquet, be sure to RECORD the TIME STARTED- release it SLOWY every minute. You have to relase it slowy in case the bleeding has not stopped- (it will bleed profusely if it has not stopped.) Remeber, "LIFE OVE LIMB." You also want to ensure you get the patient to the hospital within the, "GOLDEN HOUR."

[TRIXSTER03]

hmm... And would this work for all bleeding situations? NO. this specific bleed would be considered a venous bleed. If it was a arterial bleed however, you would to attempt to control bleeding, apply firm direct pressure, elevate injury site if able, use pressure points, (brachial, femur, etc.) If thie distance to hospital is more that an hour, use a tourniquet as a ***"LAST RESORT ONLY."***

[KittiesRulez]

Once, i got a bad cut and i watched this video and it helped me.

[criselle21]

1st.. apply pressure with sterile gauze.. then if indicated, apply pressure points on pulses near affected site, especially if its arterial blood, then elevate affected arm.. remember: never use tourniquet in attempt to stop bleeding.

[wilkylao]

Direct pressure, elevate, pressure point to the supplying artery, & lastly tourniquet with the "LAST OPTION" if the distance of scene to hospital will take more than an hour or so, what if blood still coming out profusely? Would u rather save the limb instead of life? But when you apply tourniquet,1st indicate the time started, then every minute you must release gently the tie within 10 secs,so that the other vessels will not cause Gangreen. Continue this process until you reached hospital.

[TRIXSTER03]

A tourniqet is a last resort. Only use it if you absolutely have too. for example, it's the last option.

[MLeyden91]

Naa, just swill it under a tap, right? LOL!

What about elevating the hand over her head?

[evan1919]

what kind of mother record there daughter in pain

[JermaineATL]
