Treatment of an open chest injury

[bilsy28]

That was really cool! We learned to put non-occlusive dressing on and only tape 3 sides of it, that was really interesting though, nice job

[sacura605]

wait it is real!

[sacura605]

holy crap that looks so real! 

[CSRevenant]

What do you do if the wound is concealed by tissue shifting?

[DrSpeculum]

Great casualty simulation and hints for applying the seal!

[JimmyBeTubing]

what is the purpose of the valve on the wound cover?

[milkjugman666]

maybe it's a pig.

[tacmed2003]

It is not a pig. No living things were used in any of our videos. We will probably do a series of videos showing how to create realistic injuries so you all can see how we do it.

[MrSitarus]

@tacmed2003 i had training to do that =) recreate realistic looking wounds =)

[ThatFoolishBoy]

thank you so much I am training to be an EMT and this was wonderfully helpful as a example

[crazyazcordova]

That IS real. Nobody can fake that kind of injury to that degree. 1:13

[MrSamson4]

thanks great job

[myscongeniality]

Wonderfully informative video, thank you.

[99bigaznkid]

wow. this video is amazingly amazing! lol. huge props to the makers!

[Fight2Exist]

How did they do that?

[Frequenz643]

great wound! How´s this made?

[jessigrady22]

those air bubbles, they were from a hole in his lung weren't they?

[blackmesalabs]

The lung is collapsed. The bubbles would be coming from air being forced in and out of the pleural cavity.

[jessigrady22]

ah... ok........ thats very interesting, ill bet if he were concious that would hurt a bit.... was he concious?

[MI6CORPORAL]

I would hope not for his sake

[HOTTTjustinR0XXX]

lol at first i though that was real and i was like

guy must have been paid alot to let them shoot him and take a video

[sjabbadoing]

Can you do that without having to consult a doctor?

[stefanmckinley]

oh man! that looked real!  really gross!

[brokenskyy]

This is an excellent video.

[NIBS293]

Thanks for all the info that you put out. Its very helpful. Just an FYI, we have used the rapper for the chest seal under fire and just taped the hell out of it, and it has worked better and healed better then the chest seal has... Its a lil faster and sticks a lil better...

[EMSParamedic07]

Those ACS are cool (wish I had some lol) we just seal the wound and open a corner every now and then to let the air out

[Petulienko]

Thank you very much for posting this!

[tom79476]

Tacmed, thanks for putting out some excellent training materials and gear.

Can I suggest that you emphasize progressive dyspnea as a primary sx of a developing tension pneumo? I've repeatedly seen is as a much earlier indicator then JVD, changes in chest rise and such.

[theace1477]

was that real????

good video by the way

[tacmed2003]

Thanks! No its not real. It's a model we created to show how the injury may appear.

[SuburbanNinja8000]

I Never Understood how people people Make fake Injury look so Real.

[emarbiz]

thank you for this instuctional video spcially for us who are in the field

[devildawg0352]

is it possible to get an instructional video on treating tension pneumothorax?

[tacmed2003]

We will see what we can do. It takes us a few weeks to put everything together so please be patient.
