Cool stuff SS!



Red Flag,

Sir, I do not mean to speak out of turn here. But the education we (68Ws, TC3, etc.) are receiving on TQ application includes guidlines for removal, as soon as tactically feasible (but not removed if left in place for more than 6 hours). It is also being put out that ischemic damage is rare in instances where TQ's are in place less than 2 hours. This is all applied in the tactical setting, so if I took your statement out of context sir I apologize in advance.


Q: What can be done to mitigate/manage the effects of reperfusion injury in either the tactical or non-tactical setting?
(I don't mean to hijack the thread or get to far off topic)
