Also use the gloves as BSI (body substance isolation) and in the case you get stained with blood etc. use MyClyns for desinfection - it works even in the mouth & eyes! Last but not least one should get familiar with the TCCC (Tactical Casualty Care) guidelines - especially with the Care-under-fire assessment. Forget all the fancy stuff but learn how to identify and stop major bleeding as a core skill and evolve around it. Thanks for the PeakSurvival Videos & stay safe :-)
instead of the mentioned "Trauma Pak" you should put a bleeding kit together: 2x Israeli Trauma Dressing (4" & 6"), 4x ABD Combine Pad, 2x SOFTT Tourniquet, 2x Coban, 2x Quick Clot Combat Gauze, 4x Compressed Gauze, 2x Asherman Chest Seal, 1x Tape/ Duct Tape, 6x Gloves, 1x MyClyns. Use the Tourniquet for massive bleeding or use QC Combat Gauze+Compressed Gauze for deep wound packing and finalize it with a Israeli Trauma Dressing or Coban. Instead of a flutter valve use the chest seal.
While QuickClot is amazing, Celox has a tiny edge over it and doesn't require as much of a 'learning curve' -- and you don't have to 'distinguish' wounds -- it's a very good 'scoop-n-shoot' alternative, and our local Emergency Clinics are **leaning** to adopt it as the ONLY hemostatic agent we are allowed to use because many of us are Volunteers with Corpsman/Medic and/or several years of paramedic experience and are used to QC from military, but Lay folks might consider Celox as an alternative.
Thanks for ALL your information.Something that's a GREAT BATTLE DRESSING is a few 'feminine' napkins and duct-tape (I've found Gorilla Glue tape the best) with QuickClot it's amazing.We actually quit using REAL battle packs because they were too expensive for keeping our rescue vehicles stocked and always having enough for our flight/hike-kits and they are nonstick to boot! Teacn-n-Lead field trips for U's and they are ALWAYS required in every daypack that EVERY student MUST carry. (N-Cent NV).
@mrmonkeyman50 haha ya I saw that your post was a year old- but then I just thought what the heck, it could still help :-) where abouts are you from? (if you don't mind me asking)
