Hemorrhage

OK TS need your help!

Typer's Dyslexia struck -- I can't seem to edit the thread or post title. Any chance you can? One m, 2 r's. Hemorrhage hemorrhage hemorrhage!


Swatsurgeon, you might take a look at the video application. It has been easy to train so far and is certainly trainable for a 68W and we are testing for a combat lifesaver. 18D's mastered it pretty fast at Bragg before we trained them. (Then they read the instructions.)

Pneumatic solutions (like MAST trousers) don't really work well in military CASEVAC as I mentioned in my earlier post.

A standard C clamp solution can work if a casualty is not moving or being moved.

The sad part of the usage is that it is the result of another serious injury. I hope that it takes awhile to collect the data to do the studies of its use in action. Studies of it in simulation are available within DoD and some in training will be published shortly.

But for those deploying or deployed already, we are shipping as fast as we can.
