Stop the bleeding first. If the wound is actively bleeding you can't do shit. Pressure! Pressure! Pressure!

If the bleeding is controlled and suture material is not availability, pour all the crazy glue you can in that go and push the flesh together

*available *ho

If the bleeding is by any means hemorrhagic, PACK THAT SHIT WITH HEMOSTATIC GAUZE

Every second of hemorrhagic bleeding is a diminished chance of survival after prehospital care

Super glue is for superficial wounds that need help, just like sutures.

You can do all the correct interventions and be dummy slow at it and your patient will still die because of the lowered chance of survival from traumatic injuries

I thought any bleeding is hemorrhagic?

I was EMT-I but I let it go

TQs that are thin, like the RATs, can cause nerve damage upon usage.

@RaginMedic23

TQ any wounds that are able to be TQed. Any others, such as at junctions, should be packed and then wrapped with a pressure dressing.

@RaginMedic23

Hemorrhage is bleeding. Did you mean arterial bleeding?

Yes. I was taught arterial bleeding as traumatic hemorrhage

Raginmedic have you asked for a role yet?

I have not

@Zerbelicious EMT?

Again who here is a Practicing medic?

I’m not certified in anything but I know a thing or two.

What do yalp mean by "pack" the junctions

Just pressure bandage? Or??

@[CA] SoyBoi pack it with hemostatic gauze

Hemostatic gauze and then wrap.

I was a combat medic in the army and am trained on TC3, prolonged field care, field sanitation, disease prevention, fluid resuscitation and some invase interventions as well as pharmacology

18D?

Or just a dedicated 68W?

68W who was blessed enough to sit through some whiskey one training and also held the role of utilizing higher levels of care in the field. Had a good PA and spent all my time on the line with both army and the marines

I see a lot of conversation in here about emergency medical but not a whole lot about what happens after the X, so it is my duty to introduce it to y'all. Since it's a broad topic, I'll start simply with the next thing, evacuation

Well, yes, after CUF and TFC is EVC, but during the situation that we may find ourselves in, EVAC will be few and far between.

I’m attempting to set up some sort of EVAC guideline/SOP for the guys I plan on helping.

> Well, yes, after CUF and TFC is EVC, but during the situation that we may find ourselves in, EVAC will be few and far between.
@[LA] Zoomer Medi/k/ I have to disagree with you there. There is TACEVAC and CASEVAC

We'll most likely use TACEVAC. The difference between the two is that CASEVAC is a standard medical platform and TACEVAC is anything that moves

Any scenario we find ourselves in that requires the utilization of TC3 should also include immediately breaking contact. Because of that, like you said, evac sops need to be established as well as a well planned evac route

You have 15 minutes to engage and gtfo anyway. Shoot and scoot

My primary problem is not the availability of TASEVAC, it’s simply the unavailability of higher echelons of care for us to resort to. Sure, we can get them to a safe house, but we will not be able to treat much surgically.

Yes, EVAC routes need to be planned prior to every mission to ensure medical care can be given easily and that we know the plan when casualties are present.

But what about access to surgical intervention?

Hospitals will treat regardless of combatant status

Hippocratic oath baby

@[MS]WebMDemt your username is hilarious 😂 but hospitals will also bring cops, which should be considered

@Crye_Salesman that is true but you’d be surprised how many people in healthcare are ready to boog. Field hospitals/safe houses are a high potential if it comes that far
