tampons in bullet wounds-FST TASC experience
New guy here, and will apologize for jumping right in.
Tis question comes up from time to time while educating /discussing field expedients. Now, as per my intro, most of my experinece is civilian, but I do train up and pre-plan for "Grid Down" no helo from Big Brother government scenarios.
So, while a GSW at the local range, or a Tactical EMS environment may not require it, if there were a prolonged or heavy fire situation, a tampon INTO the wound TRACT might seem reasonable (at least as reasonable as the proven Tourniquets)
A three week search for CLS/CMAST/91W and TRYING to get into Mil Medicine discussions, as well as a review of the latest edition of War Surgery, and I can't find the answer to the question...
Have any surgical personnel received a 'forward element' member with a tampon in the wound TRACT, and while at TASC, or salvage surgery, has it been the appreciation that the insertion of the tampon disrupted major vessels that had not previously been destroyed? (Risk Benefit analysis)
Thanks for opportunity to answer my OCD/AnalCompulsiveness by exploring this. I just set up the patients for the surgeon, and couldn't see vessles well enough to pursue the operating skills myself (though I do a fairly good job of surgical skills for resuscitation, including a mean cric...)

Not my area but I can tell you from 1st hand experience that on 2 occasions we used them for GSW's on Opns. The Docs here will provide more Technical Medical response....
Just another Team member that likes to help the Doc when he is not there. Never seams like the Delta is there when a major trauma happens. And they get really mad when a good trauma is missed.

I have used these extensively for GSW's in theater at my level II.

I was gonna say that myself DD.
So the Consensus is its works ? Any one here Married or Dating long term knows their is various types of tampons..does this matter?
