Basics of Wound Packing for Junctional Bleeding - SIX ECHO

This video shows you the very basics of wound packing for junctional hemorrhage using regular gauze or a hemostatic agent such as Quickclot Combat Gauze or Celox. Severe bleeding is something we have to address quickly in the treatment of a trauma patient but we can't always apply a tourniquet. If the area of injury is close to the core of the body you won't be able to get a tourniquet above the injury to occlude the artery and stop the bleeding. So you will have to resort to packing the wound with gauze or a hemostatic agent like Quickclot. By wound packing, we are putting direct pressure on the area of injury and occluding the bleeding artery while giving the body time to form a clot. The hemostatic agent just speeds up the clotting process which helps stop bleeding faster. This can still be done with regular gauze if a hemostatic agent such as Quickclot Combat Gauze or Celox Gauze is not available.

Thanks for this. I had been looking and looking and looking for a video or an article that clarified whether or not a regular gauze roll can be used to pack a wound and this video is the only one i found where the instructor not only mentions regular gauze rolls but also uses it in the actual demonstration. Thank you very much. I have a quick clot bandage in my kit but only one, however i have several gauze rolls so i'm happy to know that it's ok to use those as well.🙂

I carry a military grade mefical kit and trauma kit. In each i carry a 1/2. Lb of sugar in a watrrproof bag. The caking properties are excellent. I do carry quick clot always. If bleeding does not stop....as a last resort.....6=7 drops of germ x hand sanitizer put into the wound and ignited counting to 3 and cup your hand over the wound will stop very serious bleeding by carterization. The wound can then be packed along with a pressure dressing and bandage applied. Have used this method twice. Works great. No scar because applied internally. Im an ex Army Ranger. Just because I travel a different path doesnt mean that Im lost. Dont use close to extremities. Charles

First let me say I like and will share this video to a few people I know are trained. That said, I was a Corpsman 23 years, when you say to wipe out the wound to identify the bleeding source, that dog don't always hunt! I'm a retired CLS/TCCC instructor and did the OEMS course on a hog farm and that femoral arterial bleed was like an active volcano. I'm currently a Stop The Bleed trainer and chronically have to break ranks to say it ain't always like the powerpoint/video. That groin arterial bleed or armpit are nightmares!

[@SixEcho]

Thanks for adding some input here! I always like to hear from other providers with experience. And yes, like you said it may be hard to determine where the blood is coming from. Real-world injuries never look like the book shows you they do. I still think that is a worthwhile point to mention for someone to consider when wound packing even though it may not always be achievable. It also helps to displace some of the pooled blood in the area to make a hemostatic agent more effective if that is what is being used. But yes, it's never as cut and dry as the powerpoints make it seem. Thanks for the input!

I found this video really clear and informative. I hope I will never be in a situation where I need this skill, but now I have the understanding and confidence to step up and help.

[@theshieldwall1570]

Why don't you have more views?!?? This is great content. I've taken an expensive civilian TCCC and this is equal to that content in quality.

[@SixEcho]

Beats me…Feel free to share this channel around. We would greatly appreciate it! And thanks for the kind words. We want to make medical preparedness and basic medical care a common thing. 💪

[@wesmckinney4915]

Dude this is a great channel! Keep it up. I’m in the trauma section at EMT school and this video and dressing and bandaging video helped a bunch!

[@SixEcho]

Hey! Really appreciate the feedback. Glad you are finding this content relevant. Hope EMT school is going well!

[@annnonomys3132]

I was already aware of the concept, and I had already seen wound packing videos. However, your video was by far the most helpful. Thank you.

[@SixEcho]

Glad to hear it! What other content would be helpful?

[@annnonomys3132]

@@SixEcho Sorry, I don't know. My FAKs are intended to focus on major issues within a layman's capabilities. (ie, no bandaids or tylenol.) My only "training" is internet stuff. Is there something besides 1) tourniquet application, 2) wound packing, 3) seals for sucking chest wounds, that fit into that category. My kits also contains an aspirin for heart attack and instructions for CPR. Can you think of any other items or training that would apply?

[@SixEcho]

Great. You have the basics. Splinting is a good skill to have and the SAM splints are very useful. We have done some videos on that. Triangle bandages for sling and swathe are useful as well. If you want to step it up a bit, getting your feet wet with diagnostics and blood pressures is a good way to advance your knowledge base.

[@elmarobberts5128]

@@SixEcho I would appreciate some advice on how to deal with a venomous snake bite or scorpion sting if you're in the bush with only a basic FAK. I can't find much help other than the obvious "rush to the ER". Great channel!

[@SixEcho]

@@elmarobberts5128 environmental emergencies would be a good one to touch on. But unfortunately there isn’t much else to do for snake bites other than get them to the ER and treat major symptoms. Don’t use tourniquets, don’t cut the wound open and don’t try to suck the poison out. But maybe we can do a series on environmental emergencies and go over all of that. Thanks!

Thank you. You're awesome

[@chrischesley4063]

That is a great way to pack till gauze but not great for quick clot. By twisting the gauze you are losing a lot off the surface area. This reducing the amount of compound that gets exposed to the artery.

[@seankenost1959]

I’m just wondering why you didn’t use your homemade wound molds for the video?

[@SixEcho]

I made the molds after I made this video lol
