As a student doctor i very much appreciate this, also i can tell you guys, packing a wound is PAINFUL, patients may very well be screaming their life off or directly just pass out from pain
Yeah, and professionals like this guy have morphine, etc., but us non-professionals wouldn't have any way to help with the severe pain.
is it safe to apply a numbing spray like a lidocaine analog to a wound before packing to numb nerves?
@@WilliamAshleyOnline unless you know for sure they have no allergies, and it wont interfere with any medications they will be given in the hospital I wouldnt. Too many variables. I was always taught to just tell them, this is going to hurt.
@@WilliamAshleyOnline pain is the patients problem. Thats what our medics told us on repeat and that's all someone would need to know as a civilian first responder. It does not matter if you are causing them pain or discomfort if you are saving their life. It's that simple.
Tourniquets too. There have been people who released their own tourniquets and bled out as a result.
As a trauma surgeon...I am the one who takes off the tourniquet in the Emergency Room. This is a well done presentation that covers all of the basics. I recommend exposing the extremity/injury site with trauma shears if available. This allows more accurate application of pressure and tourniquets. Well done...thanks!
If we are a bit later on the scene, can the time cutting away clothing to better expose injury site be offset by the delay in getting the tourniquet in place?
As a certified Trauma Care Instructor (TECC, Stop the Bleed, Immediate Trauma Care for Law Enforcement and First Aid/CPR/AED) When I teach the wound packing portion of this class I train personnel to palm the gauze with a gloved hand rather then set it down. Most of us called on to wound pack will never be in a sterile environment. Keep the debris, gravel, and other foreign objects out of the wound, practice palming the gauze! Pleasant Training!
Training
Can your elaborate on palming?
Probably just means he's holding the entire fold of gauze in his hand (palming) and not putting it on the ground and using two hands to pack the wound.
@bartlana thats is what I mean. I can make a video and show the technique I teach. It's pretty simple once you do it a few times. The folded or rolled gauze stays in the palm of your gloved hand.
@@timwalsh6283Thanks Doc!! Appreciate this tip
Was out riding earlier today and came up on a fellow rider down. Thankfully, someone arrived just before me who had the knowledge to stop the bleed. Rider sliced his arm open on a fence and the good Samaritan applied a tourniquet while I called EMS. Fire was the first to arrive, but even that took 20 minutes. Very good chance rider would have bled out if someone didn't stop to help. I've never seen so much blood in my life.
Opened my eyes to the real need for basic medical training. Am putting together my own stop the bleed kit and looking at local courses for the near future.
“Stop the Bleed” is the new “CPR/AED” for the public. Rendering care quicker provides better possible outcome for the patient. Great job with the video, Sam.
I'm just a guy who hopes I never have to use this learning, but won't hesitate to if I must.
Thanks man
Don’t know why I’m just seeing this. I’m a huge advocate of people getting more training in how to care for other people they encounter. Making more stuff like this available to the public at large can make a huge difference.
I came here after hearing what happened to Scott from Kentucky ballistics.
One of his guns blew up in his face and sent a piece of shrapnel down his neck and into his lung. That piece of metal also cut his jugular vein. To stop the bleeding he stuck his thumb into his neck and pressed down on the vessel. Due to his quick action, Scott was able to make it to a Trauma Center and they were able to repair his jugular and his lung.
Damn. Talk about presence of mind and action….saved his own life.
@@LK-bz9sk It was also the quick thinking of Scott's Father (who is coincidentally also named Scott) who was there too that day.
Scott Jr didn't know just how baddly hurt he was at first. Because he was still in shock from the explosion. Scott Sr. could see how bad the injury was though.
Scott Sr. Immediately told Scott Jr. to stick his thumb into the wound and to plug the hole to stop him from bleeding out.
Scott said that had his dad not been there that day, that would likely have been the end for him.
As a police officer (retired) and critical incident instructor I have attended many traumas - this type of training is INVALUABLE and quite honestly, I have used my training on MY FAMILY as well as citizens.
In Europe it is mandatory in some countries that all drivers must have a safety vest in their vehicle so when they assist at a scene, they can be seen - so many accidents occur in low lighting conditions.
The other suggestion, I have a robust emergency bag when I train, and one (smaller) in my vehicle. I suggest investing in a kit that you can afford, you will use, and I guarantee it will give you comfort and confidence when you drive in areas in which a quick response is unlikely.
The availability of emergency services is such that you are going to have to control the scene for a lot longer in most jurisdictions - so this type of training is a blessing.
Thank you kindly for sharing your knowledge!
Given the environments in which I work, motor vehicle accidents, potentially mass casualty ones,lift equipment and power tool accidents are the primary reasons I chose to get educated about trauma first response.
your videos have made me want to continue to research health and medical preparedness and this video only cements those ideas, i love these videos and the educational content they provide, thank you so much for introducing me to this!
I left the army in 2012 ( I was a 21mike firefighter) and I love watching your videos and this is a great refresher as I work in the oil field now I am a little dusty on my first responder training.
Another thing to note about EMS response time:
If this is an incident such as a shooting or bomb, or any sort of attack, EMS is NOT coming to aid you until the scene is deemed safe by law enforcement. In the event of a shooting, where the police need to track down and disable the shooter(s), and then clear the area to make sure there aren't more shooters or secondary devices aimed at injuring responders, it could be an hour or more before EMS are allowed into the scene and aid the injured.
This is why Stop The Bleed is SOO important!!! If you're stuck in the middle of an incident, you could literally be the difference between life and death for multiple people!
Thank you so much for the concise presentation of "Stop the Bleed". Excellent. Now I'll check out the other videos in your links.
Why is this a graduation requirement for us to watch this video at my High School?
Edit: Ah, I see.
Many thanks, as ever. I carry an AED. + Trauma Kit, Brighton UK.
Thank you so much for the recommendations. I really wish this was taught in schools as we age. Great content. Again, thank you.
Great information. I have 1 more month of Fire Academy and then I start EMT training.
Great video Sam, I'm passing it along to our First Responder Team--- thank you.
This is a great follow-on to widespread CPR training. Great video, as always!
Your an inspiration Sam, your making me want to go further with my own training and knowledge over here in the UK
@cindybin2001 hekkin grammar nazi
thank you for clearing up some myths
Be advised ... wound packing is EXTREMELY PAINFUL and may result in a patient actually passing out
Unconscious patients can be difficult to treat however in instances of extremely painful treatment it may be preferable.
Add smelling salts to you field kit and be prepared for a unfavorable awakening. 😢
If you are acting as immediate medical response personnel to any trauma in the field you must put preservation of life above all other concerns, this include your personal safety or a injured patients personal comforts. 🏥
As stated above... Treat the wound and contact medical professionals if available.
Make best use of your field kit and understand it's your job/calling to provide care.
It's not easy and thanks why we train.
Stay the course.
You explain details calmly and clearly, thats why I like your channel, thank you so much for sharing this brother!
This is such a helpful and in depth video. I’ve recommended it to so many people and watch it yearly to keep me familiar with Stop the Bleed. Thank you so much for putting it out there!
Thanks! Watching this for teacher training....very informative!
Thank you for this presentation, and taking the time to put it together! Great information, and straight forward delivery. *thumbs up*
Thank you for explaining everything so well.
Respect brother keep up the great work, I carry a tourniquet every were I go
I had no idea a course like this was available to the public! I'm a pharmacist and we don't get any training like this. I am going to take a course as soon as possible once things return to normal. Awesome channel and I'm subscribed!
Thank you brother. I pray this reaches people before they need it, and it saves lives.
thank's for taking the time to help save people..
Thank you for all these helpful videos. I am starting the training for ski patrol at little Switzerland in Wisconsin this summer and these videos have given me lots of motivation to do so.
Your Videos are so beneficial! i am currently a paramedic student in toronto, preparing for my trauma scenario for my finals in MAY. will watch all your videos and take notes
Love your videos, they actually help alot, especially during my FA training, you never know, you may need to save a life on day.
Never ceases to amaze me haw guys who will not go to the range without a blowout kit will walk into the woods with a chainsaw and nothing else.
Agreed. I have been a paramedic for over 10 years and GSWs are a super small fraction of the trauma that I have seen.
Thank you for this video; most of this is common sense, or available elsewhere, but great to have this in one place.
Thank for this video. Gonna watch for my first medical prepared class. Godbless
Sad that a Glock review will get 4 million views but a stop the bleed class has just over 3,000 views. The 2A community needs to step up and be prepared to save life just as much as their willing to take life.
Fantastically stated DM... SEMPER FI 🇺🇸
@@ericgauthier8695 thanks brother.
So cool to actually see you doing this!
Lol scrolling comments and actually saw someone I know IRL 😂
Thanks, Guy. Great information, brings back all the training from several decades back plus further & new details.
I wish you would do a video on how to diagnose a sucking chest wound and how to treat it. Also how to treat and prevent shock
Great information, clearly presented, thank you
Wish society weren't so sick; every bleeding control kit could have those fentanyl lollipops the troops get.
Right!? I wouldn’t mind some ketamine nasal spray in my kit as well
Fantastic, Thankyou for doing this
Excellent video. Thank you.
Watched, thank you and very informative.
A great video Sam, thank you. I was a Team Medic many years ago in N. Ireland, daughter is now a Combat Medic, interesting to see how techniques have changed and developed over time. I always keep a bleed kit on me 24/7 now, having used them in the army, but also with the state of things here in the UK with so much knife crime, I like to know I can look after myself and others. Thanks again.
GOD PLEASE STOP THE VIOLENCE IN THE U.K!!!!!
I’m a Boy Scout and I went thought this class
Good for you!
the benefits of being one, which is nice
SO VALUABLE INFO. Thank you!!!
Sometimes I find it hard to command others in stressful situations, where lives may be at risk. I think i know what has to be done, but I find it hard to influence others into working with me or following instructions.
Excellent Sam, thank you very much.
I heard about packing from an old combat medic. He said for femoral artery bleeds, you pack that as hard as you can as fast as you can.
I'd say that you don't pack those, you use a tourniquet.
Hey, just wanted to say that I really like your videos, please don't stop and keep 'em coming. I'm learning a lot of stuff that I hope I will never have to put into practice... quite odd isn't. But if someday its proven useful, you would have helped someone somewhere... So many thanks in advance. :)
Appreciate you taking the time out of your day to record this. Very vital information everyone should know.
Sam what a Very Informative Video, I hold a basic" First Aid at work Qualification " . But I am Ex- H.M. Forces and have seen Guys Bleeding out But You always had a Qualified Medic with in Shouting distance. So We would just look for wounds and then the Medic would take over but we would help applying pressure if there was Multiple wounds. I am a Member of a Ex-Forces Motorbike Club You have the same I the States "The American Legion Riders" and I have seen and been in some Major Bike incidents whilst Riding so I have really Bumped The kit (First Aid ) up so I have more of The appropriate Kit and a lot of that You have covered them in You Excellent instructional Footage. Thank You for Knowledge.
Thanks!
both my Parents were still under the assumption that using a tourniquet to "stop the bleed" was only to be used for severe injuries (severed arm) or the patient would LOSE their arm from a tourniquet.
I think a good follow up video would be triage.
Even a single car accident could result in multiple severe injuries and I suspect having a rough knowledge of what to consider would really help avoid hesitation trying to figure out who to help first, especially if you have to commit all your resources to that one person via applying direct pressure.
I would suspect the proper thing to do would be to treat people with extermenity wounds with a tourniquet followed by a person that needs direct pressure while pretty much ignoring people with relatively minor injuries like a cut on the forehead.
I'm not officially trained beyond first aid, CPR, and AED, but I try to learn as much as I can because I want to be prepared.
Valuable information very well presented. Thanks!
I love your stuff. Keep it coming.
Semper fi
This better get on trending.
Thank you so much I have learned so much new techniques about emergency care.Thanks from Azerbaijan
Awesome resource, thank you! I need to take one of these classes!
Excellent information.
Quality, concise presentation. Nice work. Thank You.
Superb channel, Sam. Much appreciated.🕊
Amazing job, thank you!
Thanks for the overview!
Thanks for the video!
Thank you for sharing this information . Great video 👍
Great info! Keep it coming.
These videos are so well made. Loving it
Great video. Everyone should see this.
Love your videos! Awesome content
Hey man just found your channel. Great video. Im currently animating a video on how to control bleeding. You gained a sub!
Great, great video. Thank you very much man!
Great video! Thank you so much for the valuable information.
Awesome video! Great job of explaining everything definitely passing this along/ sharing this
Thanks for the video Sam, very interesting stuff. Would you be willing to do a video on Shock, it's stages and mitigation? It's a subject I recall being touched on in a course I took ages ago but remember little to nothing of it.
Thank you. Much needed
We could not find the survey to do after watching. ---done G and D Edgin
Me neither D. Laqua
Fantastic...thanks!
I asked the instructor teaching this class in my area about celox hemostatic granules or Celox A vs the gauze and he told us they could be equally effective and did not recommend avoiding them. Can you elaborate on why you say to avoid the powder/granule packets or celox A? Do they have the potential to cause complications down the line that the gauze does not? Thank you so much for making this video it is awesome and very informative!
Necroposting but a least military wise, stopped using them because people were getting it in their eyes and melting their eyes and eyelids
Thanks a lot for this. It's very basic, but covers the essentials. However, if a peson has been shot in the chest and does not have a chest seal, isn't there something they can do besides wait? What about an improvised chest seal?
RECON makes an awesome tourniquet with plenty of studies. they are doing a study using ultrasound to show artery occlusion. I sell the RECON TQs in my trauma kits and sell out of them at every gun show.
Nah man. They have major QC issues, internal tightening band issues and collapsing windlass rivets. Not to mention patent infringement, and threatening people with lawsuits if they talk bad about them. They are not CoTCCC approved for a reason.
Is there like a CPR qualification equivalent for this?
Also if anyone could let me know any civilian accessible basic medical training like what he’s talking about (immediate responder not attempting to replace EMS)
Edit: I see he left links to websites.
A B C - airway , breathing , circulation
6 hours is the safe zone ceiling. Beyond 6 hours of zero blood flow is when damage begins.
At a stop the bleed training in Summer of '24 my understanding was 24 hour time window a good E.R. could avoid damage...
*Great stuff as usuall!*
Agreed!
Nice video man you should make a video of some of your calls out with the Swat team
Done - Paige Miller
Thank you
Thanks for your downloads.
great information!
Very informative thanks
Took a shot to the leg, nicked an artery, yea tourniquets hurt like a sumbitch but it's not too bad with adrenaline. The worst part was when it got released....by accident....because it got caught on the belt the EMS workers were using to secure me to the board. All of a sudden I just felt an insane burning as if my leg got dipped in acid and then it got real warm (the blood flying out) and real cold (shock i was told) then they had to reapply said tourniquet and I was not very pleased to put it lightly.
Thank you!
good video as always, but the lady packing the wound is doing it wrong: she releases the pressure between packing. you dont want to do that, especially with quick clot
Great vid, thank you.
