It's pretty interesting watching these old medical videos to see how much medicine has changed over time. Some of this still applies, but the CPR and snake bite treatment are way different now.
Most of this still applies, at least in principle. We do CPR a bit differently, and the snake bite first aid would only be done today if help were hours away. For choking, the Heimlich maneuver is the preferred method.
9:28 I didn't know that method, it's very interesting. Using only your hands to reactivate breathing and circulation. Without using mouth-to-mouth CPR and manual compressions. But I wonder why they didn't use this second option? Is it because they are only rescuers and NOT doctors as they said at the beginning?
CPR hadn’t been invented yet so they didn’t do it. In lieu of chest compressions, if a patient’s heart stopped in surgery they cut the chest open and massaged the heart, sometimes while also injecting adrenaline.

If you hear about snakebite it is in the Pacific Theater. There are venomous snakes all over Europe,does anybody know how many of our troops got bit? In all my reading about WW2 I have never seen this mentioned.
Knowledge is the lifeblood of civilization
Indeed

While this wasn’t know. at the time, DONT suck venom out from snake bites, it will damage tissue, and don’t apply a tourniquet to them either.

Anyone know what those wound tablets were?
They were anti septics, which prevent infection
Probably a sulfa drug in the pre-antibiotic era.
@@mariekatherine5238 actually ww2 was the first war with anti biotics
@@kayadams9746 They were recognized as such in 1928, and used during WWII, but not for regular usage in the field.
@@mariekatherine5238 thankyou my bad
