The two main veins are the basilic and the cephalic veins,Looks like you hit the basilic, Most of the Iv's most medics hit the cephalic just because its larger and easier, Another good idea wood be to elevate the limb with a bag if you had time. I personally would pack the wound after the CAT, Do to the cat moving during transport and help stop bleed out. Great info, I also use my patient as a work board...
@UStacticalmedic36 yeah After thinking about it, not putting a dressing on it was a brain fart. But as far as veins, This guy has veins you could find in the dark. It's crazy lol
Watching you administer the IV was highly educational, thanks for that. Would it not be prudent at least cover the open wound after you controlled the bleeding? I would think in a live fire situation, there would be a high probability of loose impediments like dust, dirt, etc that could complicate things afterwards (infections). I think that drag sack is a great idea. Good thing you had those 'biners on you. Great use of making do with what you had on you. Thanks doc, see you again soon!
@sabr686 I didn't cover the wound because I was thinking more on sustaining fluid volume and getting out of dodge. bleeding was controlled and I was thinking about scene safety and patient needs.
To everyone watching and learning from these video's thank you very much. You guys and gal's(?) has been very awesome and this week will be 3 more by wednesday so stay tuned there is more fun to come.
So when do you dress the wound? It seems like you would want to at least put one on to prevent further contamination.
Also what do you think about placing the rifle on top of your calves so it's out of the dirt and go to secondary if need be. I guess situation would dictate that as well.
WOW doc, i bet that brought back alot of memories, thanks for the vid, now i got to get me onf them litters, please please please keep the vids comen.
