Why do you have to take out the hemo gauze and start over if the first one doesn't work, yet you are supposed to just add another of the regular gauze if it doesn't work? I have heard this a few times but never get a straight answer...

[@chickensandwich1589]

"Should the bleeding continue, hemostatic gauze manufacturers recommend removal of the original packing and repacking with fresh gauze. The rationale for this is that they assume it wasn’t packed properly the first time, or perhaps the packing didn’t quite get to the bleeding vessel. Prior to repacking, another option is to pack more gauze into the wound, if possible. If no further packing is possible, you must decide whether to remove the gauze and start over or simply apply as much direct pressure to the wound as possible and get the patient to a trauma center quickly. This decision should be made during transport; transport shouldn’t be delayed for extensive packing and repacking of the wound."

Bottom line. Stop the bleeding by any means and try to get the individual to the hospital. If not he/she is dead depending on the wound. Once they get to the doctors/emergency room they can do there thing and get him advanced emergency care. We just need to keep the blood inside and the pulse going until EMS arrives.

I therefore also always carry a CAT military grade tourniquet, (for limb wounds) and an Israeli T3 bandage plus a pack of QuikClot, (for neck and trunk wounds), flushing saline and medical grade disposable gloves. Hope I never have to use them. Also always carry snake bite compression bandage and a SAM Splint.

Prep medic, if you are not trained to do a chest decompression and don’t feel comfortable carrying chest seals, what could you do to a sucking chest wound to stop the bleeding but not allow tension pneumothorax

[@dtreece22]

God gave you hands for a reason

[@SBRanger3]

Why would you not be comfortable carrying chest seals? They are just sticky squares with one corner for venting....there is nothing invasive about them. Where I work that is a BLS skill that EMT-Bs can perform. If the patient has a sucking chest wound, you need to stop it from progressing as quickly as possible. While decompressing the chest will be an intervention carried out by advanced providers, stopping that pneumothorax from progressing to a tension pneumothorax, if possible, is critical and will most likely going to be life-saving (granted the patient does not have any other critical injuries that need interventions). Chest seals will definitely help with that. Gauze and other similar items will allow air to pass through them, so those are not good options for sealing a chest wound. My recommendation is to get some basic medical training (CPR/first-aid, TCCC, etc.) and become comfortable with your equipment. Carrying medical supplies but not having any training on how to use those items is pointless. But at the end of the day, I guess you could just put your hand over the wound until you have the proper equipment (you're not going to get a good seal, however)....good luck if there is an entry AND exit wound, though lol

[@philips9042]

Great video! Espcially outlining that preassure is the essential for the outcome, whereas the hemostatic effect is "just" a supportive factor. However I think it's a bit misleading to show the CELOX granulate when talking about the powder based hemostatic agents that caused burns, as this has never been an issue with Celox but rather (don't quote me on this) with zeolite based agents only.

[@pmedic523]

[@jimbort_de_breces]

Hi Sam, I recently discovered your channel. Great info. Do Combat & Celox guaze have expiration dates? If so, are there any problems using it? I would tend to think not. Therefore it would be ok to use them as you would standard packing guaze. Agree?

[@rogerharris3951]

QuikClot Combat Gauze and Celox both have five-year shelf lives, and the individual products come marked with appropriate expiration dates. Assuming their packaging is fully intact, time-expired hemostatics may remain effective; but such extended efficacy will not have been verified by scientific testing.

[@aden-lj7wb]

this was super helpful, because I was feeling bad about not buying that $20+ dollar combat gauze lol

[@antdx316]

What if you use the powder, the roller gauze, then put a tourniquet for the same wound? Wounds are obviously random and unexpected. Getting the very best or very worst for every wound isn't good. At least with the 3 stuff I've said, you can upgrade the treatment or keep it basic. At basically $2 each for the Bleedstop powder it's a lot better than that $41 one in the air tight package. I have Combat Trauma Dressing that don't have any powder. Having it in powder packets means you can use it with other stuff too instead of it being limited to just that gauze. I just made my kit from having no idea 1-2 weeks ago.

[@PewLand]

I've been having the same thoughts. It seems to be a much more economical way to achieve the same goal.

[@antdx316]

@@PewLand The scarcity of supplies may be the reason why people tend to be extravagant and take five items when they only need one. If people were aware that more items could be added, they might demand more, leading to insufficient supplies for others. Having more supplies should improve treatment quality as it provides better protection. If people were more cautious and aware, accidents could be prevented. This means that accidents should only occur in unforeseen circumstances, and not in areas where they usually happen.

[@jcdo367]

Why people sell ifak's with both hemostatic and regular gauze? it wouldn't be better just to have hemostatic ones?

[@hunterkiller232134]

Studies show that properly packed with non-hemostatic gauze a wound will still clot. Hemostatic gauze does not increase clotting rates, and still needs to be applied with pressure for a few minutes to induce clotting. So does standard gauze. Standard gauze is cheaper, however.

[@chickensandwich1589]

From what I was taught many moons ago, some injury/wound deaths can be attributed to shock and not necessarily the wound. You also have to treat for shock.

[@PrepMedic]

I think you might have a misunderstanding of what shock is. Shock is classified as hypoperfusion of organs which, In this case, is hemorrhagic shock caused by blood loss. Hence the need to stop further blood loss as the primary treatment

Wound packing is for "meaty" areas so to speak. A sucking chest wound won't be in an area that is going to bleed profusely and trying to pack gauze into that pleural space is going to keep the lung from expanding which is what you're trying to avoid by using a chest seal. So, just a chest seal.

Good for you. I don't think he has ever used it personally. It stops bleeding.

I've always wondered (in real world situations) if Celox could cause fatal allergic situations to those allergic to crustaceans? Literature stated that there was no known reactions. BUT. My wife once had a reaction because I was cooking frozen fried shrimp while also cooking french fries in the same pan in the oven. They never touched each other, but the not breathing started to happen when she ate some fries, so would placing their crushed shells onto and into an open wound (direct contact with bloodstream) cause unwelcomed reactions? I understand that its not just "crushed shells" but proteins are still very mysterious.

With the traditionally produced ones, i can sure see that. Not so much with the synthetic Chitosan, but i am not a doctor.

Is one of the advantages of hemostatic gauze, that pressure is applied for a reduced time?

[@wacojones8062]

Hold pressure until the bleeding stops it may be up to two minutes faster if properly done and you are not interrupted if the tactical situation dictates taking defensive actions to protect yourself and your patient. None junctional wound Tourniquet of arm or leg if under fire High and tight try to get a pressure bandage on tight within 3 minutes and release the tourniquet and check for distal pulse if no pulse loosen the bandage and recheck for pulse if bleeding is still present tourniquet 3 to 4 inches above the wound not on a joint and if needed pack and rebandage.

Newbie here: I am somewhat confused. I've heard that it's not always necessary to use hemostatic (I would ASSUME you'd always use it if it's obviously severe bleeding) if you have both. If you have both at ready, do you always pick the hemostatic? If not, what do you do if the non-hemostatic gauze doesn't stop the bleeding? Is it just because It's a bad packing job? I'd assume you don't pull the gauze out and re-pack with hemostatic. Are you kind of shit-out-of-luck? I know this is a lot of what-if's but, I like to know as much as possible so I try to not be caught with my pants down. Thanks.

I'd say if the wound is deep enough that it requires packing to stop the gushing, and you have hemostatic gauze, go in with that first. Then if more gauze is required to fill the wound, use regular gauze and top it off with an Israeli type compression bandage.
