  2. A box with almost €1000 worth of medical supplies arrived today.

    These items will be photographed individually later, before being packaged up with a few additional items and sent to @solidaritycollectives in #Ukraine

    We're always appreciative of additional contributions, so we can grow our #medical #mutualaid efforts.

  3. CW: Emergency medical training simulation video

    A very nice demonstration video about how to effectively pack a wound with a bleeding artery, using z-fold gauze.

    youtube.com/watch?v=2qBvQJ_N95

    Pressure has to be applied directly to the bleeding artery, to stop the bleed, not just pack the cavity full of gauze.

    While #haemostatic #gauze is great, if you don't have it available normal gauze will also do a good job. Multiple gauze packages may be needed.

  4. Never heard of the Chinese Journal of Traumatology before, but Issue 1 of Volume 28, January 2025 has the following interesting article:

    #Research progress of tourniquets and their application in the Russia-Ukraine Conflict

    sciencedirect.com/science/arti

    Contains a short overview of the advantages and disadvantages of a range of tourniquets, including #TCCC approved, #Ukrainian and #Russian manufactured items.

  5. Interesting article and discussion:

    The use of negative pressure therapy (NPT) for the treatment of gunshot wounds in a limited resource setting in eastern part of the Democratic Republic of Congo Case series:

  6. One should always question existing orthodoxy and think beyond the received wisdom.

    The topic of trauma tourniquets is almost endlessly discussed, with most "experts" firmly in the "only use a Committee on Tactical Combat Casualty Care approved tourniquet" camp. e.g. a CAT tourniquet.

    However, recent research _may_ indicate that these types of inelastic tourniquets are not necessarily the best for maintaining pressure during blood loss and fluid shifts.

  7. Intraosseous injections (direct into the bone) are extremely painful and due to this really only used on unconscious patients. However, the mechanism of action is very fast, with administered medicines entering the bloodstream in seconds.

    This video provides a short visual of how an intraosseous injection delivers its payload.

    An interesting graphic.

  10. A new ground-based towing #drone appeared in #Ukraine. It was created by Volodymyr Yatsenko, the developer of the Dovbush UAV .

    The drone is capable of evacuating a person weighing up to 100 kg, up to a distance of 10 km. The towing drone has a protected radio channel, HD video, repeater & four engines. Remote control is achieved using the "Dovbush" system based on UAVs. The model is being prepared for serial production.

  11. A pretty good 30-minute video on airway management. Ukrainian translator & an Irish instructor.

    Worth mentioning regarding securing an i-Gel (discussion & demonstration at around 23:40) is that newer i-Gels are already supplied with a securing strap. Know your kit! Also, an alternative to oxygen tubing to secure would be a length-ways folded triangular bandage.

  12. Learning and practicing new skills.

    Some of the BFMedical team are in #Malta this week, training with the College of Remote and Offshore Medicine, for their Remote Emergency Medical Technician (REMT) qualification.

    corom.edu.mt/remt/

    Six days of intensive practical training, to augment the online theory aspect of the course.

    The picture shows a course participant and instructor demonstrating how to apply a pressure bandage for a neck wound.

  13. Best advice is on the Summary!

    "Don't just carry something because some guy on the Internet told you to do so. Think for yourself!"

  14. Interesting overview of different emergency medical kits for different situations and locations, separated into "lines".

    Is this the perfect setup, or is something questionable? For example, the cricothyrotomy kit is on 1 line and i-Gel is only on line 2.

  15. If you're operating in a remote, austere or otherwise resource constrained environment you have to make the most of all available resources.

    Did you know that there are potentially up to five doses of epinephrine possible with a single EpiPen?

    This video shows how.

    If your patient is in anaphylactic shock, this could make a real difference!

  16. Cheap, no-brand or fake brand tourniquets kill.

    Watch these allegedly Chinese made, €15 tourniquets break and fall apart.....

  17. CW: Viewer Discretion Advised: A Ukrainian solider with a severe shrapnel wound to the thigh

    An interesting video from a #tactical #medical perspective.

    The #medics can be seen packing the wound with z-fold gauze, likely haemostatic, and inserting a peripheral intravenous catheter for administration of analgesics, antibiotics or other fluids.

    Every little bit helps!

    We need more funds as winter approaches, to send more medical aid to #Ukraine.

    We have an opportunity to support a tactical medical trainer who needs items like:

    * Wound packing trainers/simulators
    * Intravenous injection trainer
    * Needle decompression chest trainers
