This should be taught in every school

I'm doing my trauma rounds right now for ER and this was a very well made video. I would add that if the bleeding persists despite having a tourniquet on, add one on top, DO NOT remove the existing one and replace it. And if you're worried about losing circulation to that limb, remember it is life over limb in emergencies, better to lose an arm then your life.

when she packed it...i felt the pain.

Had one save my life. Figured i should see how they work.

Thanks I carry one and to be honest I had no clue how to use it . I saved this video on “ how to use a tourniquet “ play list . This stuff can save your life

Excellent video and I agree this should be Taught in schools Especially Now when the world is Violent. Everyone should be taught this important life saving skill that can Help save a Life. Free classes at the local Libraries

Thank you so much! Got what I needed with no other bs like advertisements or plugs.

Terrific instructional. Thank you.

Excellent video! Very informative with no filler. Thanks!

Yes, this is AWESOME! Thank you... I’m forwarding to my Mom, made her a first aid / trauma kit for her range bag today and she is not familiar with the CAT.

Thank You for that great demonstration.

Your information are very important! Thank you 👏👏👏

Very well done. I like your ABC'S. I would have liked to see more importance placed on tightening the tq and wound packing.

That’s some serious packing

Thank you very much . We need this knid of videos and informations

Awesome video, thanks for sharing.

Great content! Thank you for sharing it.

Very nicely done. Thank you.

A: Alert 911 B: Bleeding identification C: Compress wound Typing out the comment so maybe it'll help me retain the information and I won't forget what to do if I ever encounter this situation.

With the way our world is today, everyone should learn this. Everyone should buy a bleeding control kit. There is so much hate and so many crazy violent fueled incidents that cause preventable deaths.

Very educational. Thank you.

My brother got a severe cut on his cheek. I applied a tourniquet to his neck, instinctively he seemed to be struggling and yelling "stop, stop i cant breath" but i knew i had to stop the bleeding. I did.... ill always remember you bro❤.

Great because I have my AHA BLS test today

Very good info!

Great information.

very neat info there

Very useful video

Thank u for this great job 🤗

Gina u slayed!! u keep on doing u boo! u saving lives #godbless#speakingfromtheheart

Excellent vide Learnt alot

Awesome video thank

Correct! The only thing worse than a death, is a preventable death-- especially one with such a easy solution/fix such as applying pressure, a TQ, or just calling 911 and knowing whats occuring.

Thank you

Excellent 👍

Thank you 🙏🏽

Very useful

WELL DONE

awesome

For the audience, are tourniquets placed high and tight (like the military teaches) or 2 to 3 inches above the wound (not on a joint) as taught in all the first aid books?

Very interesting

It is helpful

This would be a good idea to have with a group of people when your out in the ocean. Or on beach.

Can we fill the wound with gauze and apply pressure AFTER using the tourniquet?

Why don't we learn this in high school ? .

After applying tourniquet we also apply gause and bandage to the wound at the same time ?

A 5 year old girl here in Thailand today or yesterday was shot above her left knee, bullet took out the femoral artery in both legs. Happened when 3 young children were playing and found a loaded gun :( She died. Nobody knew that it was important to stop the bleeding. Just phoned the police. When medical care people arrived, the girl was just lying "sleeping" on the floor in a big puddle. Not my child, but still crying!

thank you very much. Murakoze cyane.

Can I give the injure painkillers? After applying the tourniquet on them or on myself to reduce or stop the pain?

No mention of indirect pressure on the femoral or brachial arteries?

what do i do if a wound has something in it lie piece of glass or something?

What if the wound is above a knee or an elbow??

In an emergency don't worry about if there is no clean cloth use whatever is at hand .The wound will be cleaned and antibiotics given at the hospital. Just stop the bleeding.

I can see the "tighten until you can't tighten any more" leading to some potential problems. Why not "tighten until the bleeding stops"?

Question the tourniquets goes right on the bleeding wound?

i wish she'd mentioned this but if you don't have a tourniquet at hand, you can just use a piece of cloth like a t-shirt and then use a pair of scissors or a stick to tighten it and apply pressure/tension.

What if it's on the stomach how much pressure for you apply

wish i would've known this last weekend, rip

I hate to play stump the chump, but some of that information was incorrect. Tourniquet comes after pressure and packing, not before packing. The reason for this is, if you already have a tourniquet on there is no need to pack or provide additional pressure, because the tourniquet is already cutting off circulation, therefore bleeding has stopped. Also, when it comes to tourniquets, you tighten the windless until the bleeding has stopped, not just until you feel that it is tight enough. Bottom line up front, pain is less important than saving someone’s life.

Cool

If you have a nose bleed do not I repeat do not apply a CAT to the neck and tighten down. Good video. Thanks again

What do you do with a wound that isn’t on a limb such as the neck and bleeding isn’t controlled with direct pressure/packing?

Yass Girlie Pop!!! Bleed no morrrrre ^06 SLAY

What if I don’t have a tourniquet what do L do

Man, that packing gotta hurt like hell

I’m surprised she didn’t mention keeping up with the time you put the tourniquet on. Isn’t that really important so you can tell personnel when you put it on??

Any type of clean cloth works... But try not to use anything with too much lint... ie: a towel

Why would you pack a wound? If bleeding but tour not required. Use tourniquet if spurting blood; put 2-4 inches above wound, no packing, 0-2 hours leave it alone & doc takes it off. Buy quick clot, bleedstop, woundseal, gauze, tape, and tour kit and carry it with you. Use quickclot on neck w/ pressure.

Why about the elbow or Knee?in the other video the guy put it below the elbow . Can someone explain?

Question, there are certain places in the world where waiting for an ambulance is not practical, with a tourniquette is it safe to move them?

Why did she say to place the tourniquet over the site of the bleeding; which is the wound. Then she says to place the tourniquet above the wound.

IMHO putting the tourniquet on just snug is a mistake. the windless may not be able to tighten enough. also ok to put the T on the lower arm or lower leg if you can see the wound.

Last one was brutal I think I cant do it

If i cut my finger does it mean i might die?

I would pack the wound then tourniquet Or vice versa

Not saying that you are wrong and it won’t save a life, but I disagree with putting a TQ above a joint. The CoTCCC, Red Cross, and tons of EMTs state that you need to put the TQ as low as you can in order to save as much of the limb as possible, the CoTCCC states that you need to put the TQ proximal to the wound (about 2-3 inches above the wound), if you don’t know where the bleeding is however, CoTCCC states to put the TQ “high and tight,” but you do not have to place it above a joint if you don’t have to (NEVER place on a joint though). Additionally, CoTCCC and Red Cross teaches to tighten TQ until the bleeding stops, which might be as tight as you can get it, but you want to be very careful that you don’t break your TQ because you tightened it too tight, cause then it wouldn’t be a very fun day after that.

Aren’t you supposed to loosen the tourniquet a small bit for a second once every 50 seconds or so, so it doesn’t damage the arteries or something?

Okio

this video got my teeth hurting, especially the wound packing.

I hear wifi smart watches are bad for health not alot of studies btlut I wouldn't trust it or airpods. Just my two cents thanks for the video !

may i add for the wound packing, its not about how deep u pack the wound, the important thing is LOCATING the artery/source of bleeding and packing the gauze or cloth directly into it. its inefficient to just stuff the cloth in aimlessly. this video is much more detailed and useful than this half-assed one kzfaq.info/get/bejne/p85_rLuF0p-8p40.htmlsi=8QFff4JYHNVaWjy2

Well I peeled a scratch and it’s bleeding what do I do 😭😭😭

That's some serious packing

Thank God i found this video, that bank job went south

So many turniquet experts up in this comment section.

So injury anywhere on the body is life threatening 🤔

Hahahaha " Do Not PEEK" 😂😂

CELOX CELOX. very good HOWEVER also carry CELOX. Save a friend of mine wife. Keep in your backpack, medicine cabinet, home or vehicle emergency kit.

Why would I want to save someone who I shot?

ビニールだ！！

That is not how you should pack wound. She does it wrong! It is crucial to put constant pressure on bleedin blood vessel. Also she didn't mention about noting down the time of tourniquet placement.

Its funny bc wher r u going to fine the first aid kit if u in the middle of a shoot out in the roads n shit

Hold up hold up, missing all or part of a limb is a sign of life-threatening bleeding? Well shit, now we know.

I m sorry, but this tourniquet is too complicated for a bystander that would even have access to this contraption. It s a waste of taxpayer's money. Instead, the focus should be on what a layperson can find to use to help someone who is bleeding out. Any suggestions?

I was tought to apply enough tension to stop the bleeding and no more. Not to tighten the turikit until you can't turn it any further. Boo bad info!

damn 5:45 looks painful

Her voice can break glass a mile away.

I’ve been watching shark attack videos 😬😩

I don’t agree that you tighten a tourniquet “ as tight as you can“ The point is to tighten the tourniquet until the bleeding stops🙄

the background music is so distracting...

Tourniquet should be the last resort. I heard that it should be loosen every so many minutes (for just seconds I guess) but maybe that depends on how severe the bleeding. I guess it is to reduce the chance of loosing the limb as us the risk with these things but if it is life threatening, you may have to make the tradeoff.
