Do you know about SkedCo? Or FEBBS?
This guy in the army invented Skedco devices for use in emergencies, and he has 2 bleeding simulation videos.

If you were going to bandage a wound and the bandage is going to stay on for a long time, would you use the spiral technique or the figure 8 or even the reverse spiral?

we had similar video in military for my medic course. in the video there was a guy with either a real wound or a really good special effects wound, it was pretty disgusting looking

Ok, thanks. I forgot. I will make a point to sign up for classes on first aid and cpr. I want to be prepared when an emergency situation arises.

You should leave it in, and they already have a video about impaled objects. It’s called ‘First Aid for Penetration Wounds.’
I’m an EMT, that’s how I know you should leave it in, but the video explains it better than I.
I put these videos in my play list for continuing education, so my memory always stays sharp. Especially since I watch them every day.

Yeah! good training vid. Would like to see how to treat a patient with foreign object such as a metal or wood on an arm. Is it a good idea to just leave it in,? Want to see bandaging techniques for that scenario.

If you think these guys are hot, you’ll like the ones in “Laundry Chute Lad.”
It’s a Rescue 911 video.

When I cut my arm in a car accident, the ER nurse kept taking off the bandage just to look at the wound.
I’m glad I didn’t know about blood clots being destroyed, or I would have wondered why she was doing it.
I didn’t last long as a conscious patient anyway. I went into heart failure and, after they revived me, I fell into a coma and stayed that way for 5 days.

I wish they’d do a video explaining what to do when you see someone vomiting blood. That’s what happened to my sister when she was 7 and I was 13.
Other than calling the ambulance, we didn’t know what to do. On her way to placing the call, my mom knocked over a chair, a plant and our decorative butter churn.
I OTOH was transfixed in horror, watching more blood than I’d ever seen pour from my sister’s mouth and nose.
To this day, I remember every detail of that night.

Ok, thanks

It destroys the blood clot and re-opens the wound.

Why dont you never want to remove a bandage ones its already on?
May 22nd, 2010 at 12:40 am
At 1:34 He states that it is a decent dressing.
Its technically a bandage. The dressing is the soft under part which is applied to the wound directly. The bandage is the part he is showing.
May be a bit picky, but hey he has a video for “expert Village” so should be right 100% all the way through.
All in all great video!

They zoomed in for visual….Remember this is a deep cut or laceration not a small cut. You would want to stop the bleeding with direct pressure and elevate the arm. Prepare to take patient to medical aid.

also, what is best to clean it with before you wrap? also what if something is stuck?
