My lawyer says to tell you I was just kidding about beating your head bloody on the keyboard. If you aren’t sure how to use it, beat your head against the keyboard until you bleed, get a Band-Aid, go to the bathroom mirror, and practice putting one on correctly. Preparing a first-aid kit is important but knowing how to use it is equally important. The band-aids? Troops always break into their first aid kit for boo-boo band-aids. It’s called taking care of their troops. The function of everyone else is to pro-actively do what they know they should, and take care of themselves, so other people don’t have to do it later. Part of the function of leadership is to ensure their subordinates are not being dumbasses. So having a chest seal (there are several types) is a good idea to place over that hole to let air out, but not in.

Let the not think pity on him for giving you this human birth. So do you. This would lead the brighter folks to note that there may be more than one seriously bleeding extremity, and therefore think that more than one such CAT-T might not be a bad idea. To insert it, you need a surgical lubricant (think medical K-Y) to help you slide the tube into either nostril. So lube it, and insert it, gently rotating it until it’s fully inserted. My inner NCO voice thinks if you’re that stupid that you’d do it, learning to put one on is good training. And while many of us believe they are simply smarter than the rest of us, much of the time, they use learning tricks to retain knowledge – not their IQ. There is an ancient Japanese belief that bamboo wards off evil spirits and entities, so bonus points for interdimensional protection while feeling one with Mother Earth. You can too. No video for this one. Still, there are a few basic steps that should be taken in most scenarios; actions that can help you assess the situation and act accordingly.

The factors responsible for world hunger are numerous, and some factors change from year to year, therefore at any given time, some areas may be more sensitive then others. This is not a finished product, and will change as elements are added and altered. These are very essential in sports facility and more people are going in this sports field and governments are also encouraging spots in countries. It is a specialized and advanced field of first aid technique which involves life support through rescue breathing and assisting in artificial circulation through a series of chest compressions. It’s also known as a “nose hose” or “nasal trumpet” both because that’s what it look like, and it’s also what it sounds like when an unconscious patient is breathing through it. And then to look out for their buddies. You can buy first aid packages, make them yourself or buy one prepared to use and then personalize it to your needs. Then wrap either ACE wrap or the Israeli bandage over that wound, until you have applied enough pressure and bandage material to the wound to cover it, and stop bleeding. Doing anything you don’t have to do under those circumstances is dumb enough.

Patients have four limbs. So you may have more than one chest hole letting air in with a gunshot. Thus you may deduce that more than one chest seal is also a good idea. Also, bullets may go in on one side, and come out somewhere else. There’s nothing terribly complicated about the Army’s IFAK, or the one you should have handy, and the contents are rather basic. You don’t have to walk around looking like Tactical Timmy at all times, but splash goggles or safety glasses are mandatory PPE in both EMS and the ER, for a reason. 9 pair of chemical splash goggles or clear eyewear is a great help to keep blood (and ricocheting bullet fragments, etc.) out of your eyes. Put on a pair of the gloves. If all you put in the address bar of Google, Bing, or whatever engine you’re using, the first fifty hits will be the exact item you’re looking for, in case you weren’t sure.

As of April 2017, more than 1 million persons in communities across the country have been trained as Mental Health First Aiders through a network of more than 12,000 certified instructors. You should have already dealt with serious extremity wounds, but non-spurting wounds not requiring a tourniquet would qualify. You might deduce that a set of EMT shears, not included on the IFAK list, would be handy for cutting clothes to expose the wounds, as we’ve noted in prior posts on this topic. Didn’t mention it, because it’s not part of the IFAK load-out. ADDENDUM: Not covered in this, nor contained in the IFAK, is any mention of eye protection. Some of the reasons may include a head injury, drinking too much alcohol, a stroke, or a diabetic condition, just to name a few. Someone shot in the chest, between the top of their shoulders and the bottom of their ribs (where the diaphragm lives) may be leaking air or bloody bubbles out their new hole(s). If your victim has been wounded in the mouth/face, and may be having difficulty breathing or swallowing/aspirating blood, that’s what that NP airway is for.
