Good info here. Adding my 2 retarded cents:
1, Careful when using chest seals, they can cause tension pneumothorax if you aren't careful. Just know when and how to use them so you don't make things worse. And don't carry a decompression needle unless you've been trained.
-
Get good reputable tourniquets. Don't buy that Chinese trash on Amazon. NAR is a good source. Usually carry 1 for each limb, so get 4 of them for your kit.
-
Eh, there are other options to the Israeli bandage. The Tactical Trauma Treatment bandage works, Emergency Trauma Dressing, Olaes modular Bandage, etc... Basic point is, have a wrap of some kind, that can apply pressure to a wound.
-
Basically the same as above.
-
Yeah Combat Gauze or any other hemostatic dressing are great to have around.
As for an airway device I have a quick question: I own a CZ. So I spend most of my day gagging on dildos. If I drill a hole down the middle of a thin one, can I use it as a nasopharyngeal airway?
