Improvised Tourniquets
Go ahead and get yourself a CAT and practice those wound packing skills. Improvised tourniquets are not the first or second choice in bleeding control.

We only made this video because this topic keeps popping back up. For the friends in your life that blindly share medical advice that would get someone killed, share this with them. Tampons are not even a consideration for life-threatening bleeding.

Single-Handed Tourniquet Application
Просмотров 4,7 тыс.Год назад
Single-handed application is a good way to practice. A few tips and tricks: -Set yourself up for success by pulling the red tab across your body instead of away from it. You have a better chance of getting solid initial tightness -practice with gloves on if you wear them often -focus on windlass placement so it is accessible -for practice just turn the windlass once or twice, saying to yourself...
Medic Minute - Tourniquet Staging
Просмотров 486Год назад
Tourniquet staging is important! Remove any unnecessary steps/variables prior to application such as removing the plastic TQs come in, as well as ensuring they are on the most accessible part of your gear, whether that be on the outside of a trauma kit or ensuring it is the first thing you see when you open a trauma kit. I don’t like rubber bands since they can easily break and dry rot, not to ...
Medic Minute - Shoulder Dislocations with Doc Woods
Просмотров 237Год назад
Not all trauma requires a tourniquet or wound packing. Providing pain relief for shoulder injuries is a relatively simple technique that most anyone can do. Doc Woods shows us how to assess and treat an anterior dislocation (when the shoulder is dislocated to the front of the body). Remember to follow up with a visit to see a medical professional, just because you relocate a shoulder doesn’t me...

Treatment Considerations - Impaled Objects
The visual presentation and information provided is simply spectacular. Thank you for being so clear and definitive. This video settled a long debate between myself and some friends
Lives will be saved thx to this vid
Your shoulder looks like it's dislocated. 😜
Improvised tourniquets are a great way to teach why you really want a good manufactured tourniquet. If you show them the "real" TK , then show them what it takes for an effective improvised TK, give them the building blocks and show them the downsides in comfort, security, and speed , they'll be more likely to carry a real one and better prepared for when they have to go with option 3. Talking down to people and saying " because xyz said so" is a horrible training model.
James, we completely agree! Letting someone learn for themselves will definitely help it sink in.
Great to see you back!
A little siesta and some better lighting
Excellent demonstration! I’ve seen this argument a lot online but never knew the how and why behind the right answer. FYI: your subtitles incorrectly read 1-2 mL when you said “1-2 liters” at 1:54. Not nitpicking but it undermines the point you’re making. Not sure if it’s fixable since the video is published though.
How do you get that TacMed bag to fold so flat? Mine won’t do that.
what training aid are you using for this video?
This is awesome - thank you!
Props to you for collecting so much menstruation blood for the visual demonstration. I could never be that brave.
I’m new to this medical stuff, this was a very good video to learn from 🙏🏼
Neat comparison. Your assistant was a real trooper.
What a great demonstration. The tip regarding the orientation of the red tongue of the Tourniquet is brilliant!
Really enjoyed your presentation of this persistent myth. Thank you for putting this out there as a source that can be shared.
Great video and I’m going to model my boo boo kit off of yours. A little different but same concept. Thanks for the video! Blood Homie patch is cool too!
Just found your channel and gotta say, I love it. Subscribed
Great Job on video!
End up arguing with so many idiots online about this, especially when they claim the whole reason tampons were orginally designed was for musket wounds (no it really wasn't) Going to link them to this video in the future since it does great at explaining and showing that tampons are rubbish for bleeding control.
This is very high quality content. Subscribed!
I like that comment a lot “if you’re planning to improvise you’re planning to fail”
I can't believe people still believe this 😮💨. Great video again!
I'm going to dive into this, and I hope you don't take this the wrong way. First- the absorbancy isn't the goal- packing is about providing pressure on the bleeding artery. This is accomplished in two different ways-direct pressure and hematoma effect(ITclamp etc) . Second- the reasons the tampon discussion exists in the first place and persists are numerous but form factor, lack of studies, and the origin of their initial use ar all part of it. Third there's absolutely no reason to plan to use them today as opposed to 30 years ago, but that doesn't necessarily mean there wasn't a valid , although twisted, beginning for their use. To be honest I truly wish someone would come up with a more reasonable product than Xstat in that kind of form factor for narrow wound tracks- celox rapid ribbon in an xstat 12gm applicator or slightly larger....
Hi James, if you watched the video you will notice that the tampons, even when packed with direct pressure on the artery, provide no occlusion. This is because absorbency is what they are designed for, not for occlusion like Kerlix gauze.
@@greenfeetmedical7735I did, and a have seen a dozen others like it in the last 10 years. Yet every six months or so this still pops up. You can't replicate hematoma effect in an non clotting fluid outside of a living being. Until an honest attempt at doing this in a porcine model is completed ( one was attempted by Dr. Scott Oschenbein in Nashville, but ended after a lot of threats) it will continue. Here's the thing direct pressure relies on volume of the packing material( why quikclotxl performed better than standard, and kerlx was within the margin of error in the navy study) and the ability to manipulate it to the point of bleeding. I'm not trying to argue here that kerlix should be replaced or supplemented by a tampon. What I am saying is that talking down to people with the same talking points that were used on you is ineffective. Your platform, your choice...
Goojab explaining the staging. Well done.
I've only seen knee reductions done in the field.
"You don't need an eye shield" "IFAKs should be life, limb, eye sight" 😂
You got us! But realistically packing a lightweight kit for each use case is up to the individual. A fully decked out med bag should and would have an eyeshield.
@@benbrudnicki8944 Just messing with y'all. I do believe the medic should have them, but you're right, not everyone needs them. We can use the individual's eye pro to protect their injured eye.
Eye shields aren't the definitive intervention for eye medical/trauma. Gauze rolled into a donut can be just as useful in these cases. Thanks for watching.
Lets goooo!
Sol makes a bivy that can be used some what like an HPMK.
Hey Ben! My question is…can either of these cause further damage if the patient has a broken pelvis?
Hi! This item can be used as a pelvic binder as well, however if a broken pelvis is suspected you could always use it above the pelvis on the aorta.
Why the hell he's wound looks so real.
If the orignal woundpacking gauze doesn't take. do we 1. unpack the original and replace or 2. pack more gauze on top and add a pressure dressing?
You rip it all out and repack it. Thus is why it's important to carry lots of gauze. Hope that helps!
@@Vinnytwotimeik this is an old comment, but I think there’s a serious problem with that approach: you’re actively breaking all the formed blood clots and removing all pressure, so it’s just undoing and wasting what you did already while the casualty still keeps bleeding? if the original wound packing was done with poor technique and there’s still a large cavity inside, you can just keep packing and fill that cavity with additional gauze. If the wound has been packed with proper technique and blood is still seeping out, I’d place more gauze on top of the wound site, and continue to apply direct pressure.
@@Mike-ww3bq The reason why that doesn't work, is because the infiltrated vessel has not yet been occluded. When the artery is compromised, we create a powerball, find the bleeder with our finger, and replace our finger with the gauze. Kerlix and other hemostatic gauzes are designed to occlude, not absorb. So, when you pack sub-par and it starts to bleed through, you need to take it out because the gauze it just a sponge now. It no longer is doing it's job. If it is bleeding through the gauze then there are no clots that have formed. Does that make sense? I'm currently a licensed paramedic, TP-C, tccc instructor, stb instructor, live tissue instructor, reconnaissance medic, and other things.... I see junctional wounds often and this is the only way to get it to stop bleeding. You'd be amazed how much gauze it could take.
@@VinnytwotimeI guess I’d agree with you then regarding swapping out the gauze if the wound packing technique wasn’t good and there wasn’t direct pressure on the artery, which you’re absolutely right is what’s actually needed. But would you still say the same for the scenario where even with good packing technique, blood is still seeping out? As far as hemostatic gauzes go, shouldn’t you still maintain direct pressure with your hands, because it can take around 3 minutes to fully form the clots. If even then it was still bleeding, would you not add more gauze on top and maintain strong pressure, as per the manufacture’s instructions. Just ripping it out and starting again is kinda hasty in my opinion?
@@Mike-ww3bq Technique is good, but it's still bleeding? I don't quite understand the question. If it's bleeding through your gauze, then the technique wasn't done correctly. Now, does blood slightly soak into your gauze when first applying, yes. But you have several yards of more gauze to continue packing. As far as direct pressure, for hemostatic it's 3-5 minutes and for kerlix it's 5-10 minutes. If there is too much blood in the wound cavity, you can also "scoop" it out. I find taking a few 4x4s and "sweeping" it out works OK. I hope all of this makes sense. Would love to explain this in person. I'm in South Texas if you ever get the chance.
Love this content thank you for sharing your knowledge
I can’t believe people think that’s his actual arm?? What are you guys as dumb as Biden or what
Currently learning to apply a tourniquet with my feet just in case both my hands are blown off 👍👍
I wouldn't worry about TQ at that point, but trying to find your asshole
is this real????
Demo
Gigachad gets shot and decides to make a video lmfao what a legend
Demo
I've had to do this to stop myself from bleeding out after severe trauma to my lower arm and it's almost impossible to get a good application with a sleeve in place. Take the 2 seconds to remove any clothing and prevent having to remove the TQ and re-apply, which hurts even worse than the original application.. Even after clothing removal, I still had a bit of seepage. I was using a CAT II. Did plenty of TQ apps on other people but it's much harder to do on yourself right after trauma. I'm trained up on CAT and RAT style TQs but when my own life was on the line, I went straight for the CAT.
Bro got shot in the arm just to demonstrate a tourniquet. Props to you man.
Lol
lol 😂 I thought the same thing
Quick breakdown of your kit? Love the pouches.
And then write the time on there if you can. Fight on.
Hey, love your channel, but I think youtube didnt process the title properly!
What bag is that you are using?
I clocked that SOCP immediately hahaha I was just mounting mine earlier today. Such a sneaky little blade
Awesome info dude appreciate ya
