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!

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: https://www.stopthebleed.org/training/online-course/

Thanks! FWIW, the tide seems to be turning on use of tourniquets. Last couple security trainings I attended, both recommended having the new style of military / tactical field tourniquets in your kit. Focus on saving the life. Let the ED docs and surgeons worry about the rest.

Call your local EMS provider. They usually know when and were all this happens.
