Skinny Medic "All bleeding stops eventually" . Dude has a nice sense of humor.

@angry_zergling 2 жыл бұрын

Truer words haven't been spoken since 'the only certainties are death and taxes'. It is indeed one of those universal truths. If you're bleeding, it gon' stop. ...Might not like why it stop, but it's gon'.

As a former army medic we used gun tape (duct tape ) to secure C Spine injuries to the back board , it stuck to sweaty dirty heads. I carry it in my trauma kit , blow out kit and FA kits. It works . thanks for a great video.

@systemspecchecker Жыл бұрын

100% agreed. Trade out the medical tape for a small roll of duct tape, you won't regret it. I've had to watch someone desperately tie off medical tape that won't stick, can't imagine how he felt. Duct tape just works.

These kits are impressive! Just ordered one from Skinny Medic. As an EMT my most important piece of advice for an addition to the kit would be an oral airway. While nasal airways are very simple, you should not insert a nasal airway on somebody with head trauma. Great video!

As a former Army Medic I was once asked how long to give a class on my ambulance. I responded about three days. When asked why I said if I give a class on each piece of equipment it would take a long time. Point being you not only have to know how, but practice as well. Get two kits, one for practice, one for use. Take a class and practice. Keep up with changes by taking continuing educational classes. Once you have the knowledge and experience you will find you make your own kit to your preference.

A CAT tourniquet can stay on WELL over 5 hours. During the entire GWOT, only one patient experienced ANY adverse effects from tourniquet application. If you think I am wrong, you are wrong. Five years of experience, FMF hospital corpsman. a CAT will ALWAYS save your life with a percent of a percent of the chance of problems. ALWAYS APPLY A CAT DURING AN EXTREMITY BLEED!!!!!! THEN convert to pressure dressing, then, check the wound. If you weren't an HM or better, don't argue, because you are wrong.

I have started about 4months ago keeping a first aid kit in my car. I've had several people come up to the store where I work and need to be bandaged, just some general first aid, not a full on trip to the local hospital. I'm very happy to have it. I will definitely make some adjustments to the contents of it. Very informative video. keep it coming!!! 😃

I decided to go with skinnymedic because of you and sootch and there was a little problem with my kit I emailed him and he responded right away and had it fixed before the week was up. I keep my kit on me at all times and figured it would probably be good to have a few extra things in the kit for the smaller stuff so I picked up some wound seal and liquid bandaid. That night came around and I fell and my arm landed in some glass quite a few cuts threw in some wound seal, and saying it burns is no Damn joke, and sprayed it with liquid bandaid and the as good to go but no one had a hard time figuring out what on my backpack was the med kit. So needless to say you have one very happy customer skinny. Keep up the great work guys.

I used Celox on a guy who had been attacked with a Machete - serious injury to his hip which exposed his pelvic bone. Bleeding profusely. Packed a few straps of Celox into the wound and strapped him up with compression bandages before dealing with his other injuries. He lived. Haemostatics are joint number 1 on my medkit list along with Tourniquets. Great video gents.

This is great information for the uninformed. Thank you. I know that this may sound crazy, one addition to my kit is tubeless tampons. In the event that you find somebody or yourself with a GSW and no way to apply a tourniquet, wrap said tampon with h&h gauze, insert into the wound, address area with hemostatic agent, then apply pressure bandage if necessary.

I often go hunting with my old man. We haven't ever thought to prepeare for anything serious, since the most "Injuries" we tend to get are mosquito bites and scratches from the foliage. Oh boy was I surprised when I've found out that richochet is a thing that happens. It wasn't really that big of a wound too, just a damn 8mm round piece of lead ended up lodged in my shin. Wasn't even bleeding a whole lot, compared to the time I cut my hand while prepearing food. *But good god almighty did it hurt.*

Awesome video, I have been keeping a kit in each vehicle, in my everyday pack, and my range bag; I pretty much have a kit with me wherever I go. It cost me a lot to get them setup but I would just buy a few items here and there and now I have some pretty good kits setup. I am in the process of checking and replacing expired items as I have had my kits for like 4 years now. Just a couple of notes to pass on, I have had 1 package of H&H gauze lose it's vacuum seal and one Israeli bandage also lost it's vacuum seal (note, I take the outer wrapping off my Israeli bandages. I also had one pack of petroleum covered gauze break open. Besides that, all my items have held up to sitting in my vehicles and I live in Arizona so the heat gets brutal inside a vehicle. I am also not too concerned with the expiration dates as long as the seals aren't compromised on my items.

Great Video. I am a paramedic and I keep a Trauma Kit in my vehicle and house. This is a great thing to have. I would definitely suggest getting some training on how to use them. In a hectic crazy situation you will always revert back to training. If you don't have any...well then you can have all the kits you want but you don't know what to do...not good. I have seen people not able to give basic Emergency Medical Care when arriving on scene all the time. They just don't know what to do.

If you're going to carry a tool that can punch holes in people, you better carry the tools to plug holes too. Anyone that carries a weapon and doesn't carry at least a basic first aid kit to stop bleeding is being irresponsible.

That's the weirdest opinion ever. There are medical conditions that you will not be able to treat yourself. So we should just let you die? A doctor should only care about his own health? Or if someone is a trained professional it's suddenly OK for him to help others? I hope you see the flaw in your logic and better your way of thinking. Broaden your horizon and look at different cultures and you will see there are better ways of living together.

@Rodgidian 8 жыл бұрын

I Think calling them irresponsible is a little bit much. however I agree if you're going to carry a gun you should carry a trauma kit. Just because you have a weapon that you can use to protect yourself does not mean that you are not going to get hurt.

I trouble shoot in heavy industry, started caring a blow out kit several years ago after seeing a man nearly bleed out when he smashed a blood vessel on the back of his hand. I keep it clipped to my computer case and "carry on" when I fly commercial. TSA will let the shears go thru but will not allow a 'multi tool" it goes in the checked bag. I have noticed Bicycle Shops & Saw Shops sell "Quick Clot", I added a CAT to the kit and will add a Mylar blanket seeing after this vid. It is not all that uncommon to find Sig 26 mag in my kit as well as a flash light. Thank you for the video.

Hey Guys, even though I usually have one in my admin pouch, I would add a sharpie or other permanent marker. it comes in handy to not be fumbling around trying to find one when needed to say write a time down or other vital information to pass on to other first responders, or medical staff when the victim hopefully get to a trauma Centre.

North American Rescue is a great company! I live about 10 minutes from their main office in SC and love being able to order what I need and just pick it up. On a more serious note, with all the attacks happening with multiple victims it would be hard to evaluate everyone as a first responder and have to choose who is most critical for you to help in a situation where there is likely multiple victims in critical condition.

There are not nearly enough combat medics around. Folks need to get educated on basic "Down and dirty", as was said, critical medical procedures. Doesn't even have to be for emergent combat / agressor situations. I work on job sites with my dad who's been a construction worker his whole life. If either of us or anyone else received a major injury from a table saw or power tool we'd have the equipement and readiness to keep ourselves alive enough to get 911/ EMS attention. This is real-world actual stuff. Thanks for posting it IV8888, and for your input Skinny Medic.

I was an 8404 Corpsman, we were always told never to stage our tourniquets. I suppose it'd be different if it was for personal use but if you're trying to put one on someone else having it staged you run into the possibility of getting it snagged on something as you're trying to run it up their leg/arm, as well as other issues. I've been out for a minute so I don't recall all the reasons but I do remember we were told never to do it.

recent studies are showing that you actually have quite some time with tourniquets being applied before you actually need to amputate. if you're 3 or 4 hours from a surgeons scalpel you can throw that baby on worry free. also you better know how to use this stuff. take a solid EMR or EMT class and you'll be pretty set.
