HOW DID I GOT HERE!?!?

@1dducks The average person can have a tourniquet applied for 1.5-2 hours before nerve damage even starts. If the bleeding appears life-threatening (gushing, etc), apply tourniquet ASAP. If it's not life-threatening, direct pressure is usually sufficient.
-
@tacmed2003 I was taught that use of a tourniquet should be avoided if possible, and when used it can be assumed the patient's limb will be lost (amputation) after further treatment. Is this still sound advice? I see now some units are quick to tourniquet a severe bleed.

in the forest this will save you live, or if the medical industry decieds to go to hell

Guess this is not a good thing to do without morphine, as it would be painful as hell?
-
Execellent demonstration. May i ask how exactly did you replicate that wound? Using meat or something? lol
-
Great Video - I learned a maw packing skill!
-
When do you decide to pack a wound vs tourniquet or use a compression bandage?
-
this is really helpful... thanks so much

@shades2 never loosen your tourniquet, only if you suspect that it is not needed. a tourniquet can be left in place for up to six hours with no adverse effects. if you loosen the tourniquet you will just blow out your clots and pour more vital fluid on the ground.

very likely that the injured would have died 10 times of pain shock before the medic had have finished his diggings in meat and bone. why not to use tourniquet if u can?

not true. Yes a tourniquet should be used if possible, but for areas that do not allow placement of a tourniquet wound packing is preferred. Its also useful if performing a tourniquet conversion.

Sir,
An excellent video. Very different from the vague " apply direct pressure" that is taught. I was wondering if there were any written resources on wound packing that you could direct me to. I've searched for it on places where I expected there to be some mention on this method of wound packing - PHTLS, SOF 2008 medical manual, etc - but nothing so far. Any pointers would be most appreciated!

Our blog has more information on wound packing. Most of the information we have was taught to us in the 18D course or learned throught our experiences overseas. There is a great book called "Pack To The Bone" that covers the topic, but it is pretty tough to find.
