Full functional trauma caregiverIncreased the realism of on-site handling and nursing training. Next, let's talk about how to operate the hemostasis method for fully functional trauma caregivers.
Full functional trauma caregiver - Hemostasis methods for wounded patients:
Place the tourniquet 1.0 cm above the wound, wrap it tightly around the injured limb twice, and tie a half knot.
Place a hemostatic stick (short wooden stick or other non breakable rod-shaped object) above the half knot and tie a full knot on the hemostatic stick.
Twist the hemostatic rod until there is no more bleeding, and do not tighten it too tightly to avoid damaging the nerves. If there is a tingling or numbness in the limbs, it indicates tightness.
Fix the hemostatic rod with the ends of the tourniquet or other cloth strips.
Make a clear mark above the tourniquet, indicating the date and time of use of the tourniquet
Full functional trauma caregiver - limb trauma simulation hemostasis method:
When the arteries of the limbs are injured and bleeding heavily, and both direct compression and hemostasis methods cannot stop the bleeding, and the bleeding will endanger life, a tourniquet can be used to stop the bleeding. Because a slight negligence in the use of a tourniquet can easily cause limb disability, an emergency rescuer or physician must be present to take care of it during use.
The width of the tourniquet should be at least 5 centimeters, and can be replaced with triangular scarves, ties, etc.
The tourniquet should be placed about ten centimeters above the wound (near the heart). If the wound is on or near the joint, it should be placed above the joint (near the heart).
The area where the tourniquet is used should be exposed outside the clothing, and the date and time of use of the tourniquet should be indicated.
Immediately seek medical attention and closely monitor the condition of the injured person. Release slowly for about 15 seconds every 15-20 minutes to avoid oxygen deficiency and necrosis of the injured limb, which may result in disability.
