Appreciate the insight gents.

Thanks much.
You are aware that military personnel are exempted from the frivolous lawsuit thing when treating other military personnel?

RTFQ again.

Understood, this range is owned, operated, and open to the public. I just happen to be one of 2 military members working part time for extra gun money. Most patrons and employees are civilian and have minimal training (mostly Red Cross) to address minor incidents. We are happily sandwiched in between Quantico and Ft. Belvoir so we get the occasional military member.

On the TQ, I'm against it due to the fact that the untrained person could turn a minor GSW victim into an amputee.

I'll get to looking around for the posted items. Thanks again.

You are talking about adding Quick Qlot but not a TQ? My humble suggestion is that you attent som medical training first and then start to think about caring for other.

I started this thread with a report on a trauma pack I had seen.

Cincinnatus' asked a question which I answered by saying I did not know which TQ was used in the kit, then suggested that he get the best one available.

You jumped in to lecture me about liability. When I replied, you offered your opinion about TQ use.

Do as you wish, let Cincinnatus do as he wishes, and I will carry what I please as well.

Good luck.

Question Question on vacuum packing Med Supplies?

I hope this is in the right spot I don’t want to hijack the thread but this seems relevant…

My question to the QP’s and Doc’s is… Are there any medical supplies that should not be vacuum packed? Would vacuum packing some things compromise the existing package and thereby the contents of the package?

I ask because there are some things in my aid bag that I was going to package in to kits so that the weather and other environmental issues will not be as much of a concern…

Additional what issues involving heat and medical supplies should I be worried about? I.E. car temp, hot August days training, transport and shipping temps, and so on…
What type of temperature exposures should prompt a immediate replacement of supplies?

User note: I am and EMT-B working on my Medic license starting this August… I recently completed SRT-Medic training with a local SRT team and I am volunteering my time with them in both the training and operational environments.

Thank-you
JPH
