Turn it TIGHT you will be in pain from that thing, almost guaranteed. Note time applied and ONLY allow trained professionals to remove from that point to prevent blood toxicity. Seek treatment immediately. Important details....
Terrible application. Just get an alcohol swab from the first aid kit and wipe the Sharpie wound off, then be more careful with your markers in the future.
So what exactly makes them single use? Do they break when the pressure is released? Or would it be from the biohazard all over that caused the C-A-T to be used in the first place?
Just like so many safety and medical devices, it’s just not worth the risk. Plastic degrades in the sun, metals develop micro-fractures, small amounts of abrasion over time will wear out fabric. I think of it like a fall-arrest harness. Once someone falls in one of those, you have no idea how many fibres were torn, scrubbed against the concrete, or if the buckles got bent or cracked. The same is true for a tourniquet, you need to put tremendous stress on the device, which could certainly compromise its ability to go back in the bag, get carried around for another decade, and repeat a few more times.
Finnish Army trains with the constantly and they work just fine when conscripts use them. Of course in military you have spares on everyone so one breaking isn't a big deal but I have hard time seeing how you could ever break this with training and not notice it.
In the scenario where the gunshot has an exit hole at the back of the victim. Should I use both chest seals? I mean, one on the front (entry hole) and one on the back (exit hole)? For example, in a case of 9x19mm parabellum shoot
How tolerant of heat/cold are these? Wondering if storing one in my car first aid kit would be ok. I feel like the summer heat and winter cold would break down the adhesive though? Can't seem to find any information on this.
Itxs great that you're talking about this! Growing up, I do t thi k we ever took any life saving medical equipment into the woods with us. I got my Dad an Out Pak this season, and I've got a modified CREEK-mini, since I do a lot of kayaking.
Good thing this is an instructional for the product. And the message is still the same, make sure there is pressure around the appendage, not just on one side
Situation dependant, if you don't have a medkit, you are just being dumb... I carry a small trauma kit with me while I climb, bike, or work erecting steel
You should have at least one trauma kit that you usually keep with you, and it'd would be extremely smart to have 3 trauma kits, one for home, one for your vehicle, and one that you can take with you. Not having a tourniquet in those trauma kits, or not having a trauma kit in general is just dumb.
What's happening? Is ww3 about to kick off why am getting recommended these? I will watch i will study but I'm going to forget i will need youtube to do this for real
I used to spend a ton of time watching completely useless RU-vid videos, and then I started watching these instead. Learning emergency response could be a fun and interesting hobby for you that could save someone's life someday.
