It has been some time since I have had or provided First Aid training in the military. Back then, we had learned the 4 steps: 1) Stop the bleeding 2) Clear the airway 3) Protect the wound 4) Treat or prevent shock. Training included using tourniquets, treating sucking chest wounds, using atropine injections etc. I know that the use and application of tourniquets is now frowned upon and I'm thinking that there are many other changes in treating gunshot and other traumas. I need to get updated, as I still hunt with my kids and others.
I'm looking for free webinars that teach trauma care. Free is important as I want to save my money for building an equipment/trauma kit to keep in my vehicle.
Ant ideas?
Thanks!
The application of tourniquets early and fast is actually highly recommended for significant bleeding. For a quick no frills course on bleeding control check out:
