How To Triage Patients 30 - Can Do - 2

[@chase6169]

Very interesting take on the black tag. Responding as a civilian, I think I would have started CPR but that may not always be the best choice if there are multiple pts. Thanks for giving a new perspective!

Thank you for watching!

[@ufc990]

What? That as a civilian you'd walk up to a corpse looking body and start doing cpr on it while injured folk limp around?

[@pisom4314]

i liked the "ones walking around screaming for help are ok" (dark humor at its finest) like you said too the first thing is to block out the screamin/hollaring, some can not do this or get in the moment & just "space out" multi times thru the years i have had to litteralily shake a trainee back into the moment so they could help!!! great info & thanks for sharing with us!!

[@ufc990]

More like spacing in then out. I get what you're saying, "get in the zone", but if my instructor told me I lack focus and needed to space out it would probably confuse me

Having been on a couple MCI minor incidents… the colors described is basically what I learned 20 years ago that being said… your walking wounded depending on there stats can help you help themselves or even help you.

Thank you. At work we need to re do first sid every 3years, just the badics. I wish we did masscas training on a regular basis.

Hey Skinny where did you get those little cardboard cards. I would like to get a set to practice my triage skills. I'm an EMR in Ontario, Canada I think that these would be great to practice with.

Search disaster management systems or triage tags

Can you do a video or discuss how to deal with bleeding patients on blood thinners please. Maybe what you would add to a IFAK, or first aid kit to assist with blood thinner patients. My wife (who is on blood thinners) got cut with glass and it hit an artery in her forearm. We tried direct pressure for about a 2o minutes to a half hour but couldn't get it to stop. We tried using a blood pressure cuff to slow the bleeding which helped us isolate the wound, but as soon as we loosened the pressure on the cuff it would start spurting with each heart beat. We ended up going to an urgent care clinic, and they did basically the same thing, and then did a blind stitch to try and close off the artery, and then did 3 stitches on the exterior skin. They also used some type of numbing medicine which must have also helped clot the blood. Do you think we could have stopped the bleeding if we kept on with the direct pressure? We didn't have access to a "quickclot bandage" but I would have used that if it was available. I like to hunt and fish in remote areas, and knowing how to deal with situations and having the right gear is always helfpul! Additional note: I keep a well stocked first aid kit in my vehicles and at the house, but we traveled with a friend and were not at our own house....murphys law i guess....LOL. Thanks

Cool, I have never thought of a blood pressure cuff as a makeshift affordable tourniquet! I'm very new to this topic though. Yours is an interesting question, I would check the medical literature reviews, apparently there are different types of topical hemostatic agents, with their pros and cons.
