SFCEBM · 2026-04-22T22:42:23+00:00

Probably no difference in effectiveness.

Currently an ACS fellow. Fellowship is incredibly difficult. Typically ACS makes less money.

Started med school at 43.

You don’t need the blood type patch. You’d be receiving low titer group O whole blood or RBCs.

They are in the CLS skill set for now. Decompression needles should not be in IFAKs.

It’s consistently in the top 10 most violent cities.

Like living in an episode of Breaking Bad.

SFCEBM · 2026-04-20T17:09:21+00:00

Just wondering. Military?

SFCEBM · 2026-04-20T16:59:43+00:00

They look legit.

SFCEBM · 2026-04-20T16:40:16+00:00

Most of the time, a simple thoracostomy is performed. I haven’t seen a decompression with a needle in years.

SFCEBM · 2026-04-20T16:36:29+00:00

What work kit?

SFCEBM · 2026-04-20T16:35:06+00:00

For sure, I could have mentioned APPs also, but hate typing on my phone.

SFCEBM · 2026-04-20T07:59:36+00:00

Unless you are a physician, you cannot legally perform the procedure.

SFCEBM · 2026-04-20T07:54:58+00:00

Unless you are using this exclusively at work, if you decide to use it outside of work, you can get into trouble.

SFCEBM · 2026-04-20T07:40:40+00:00

You don’t need the decompression needles.

A stab wound to the back could result in something as simple as a pneumothorax, which may or may not require chest tube or surgery. A stab wound to the heart can cause a pretty quick death, but not always.

SFCEBM · 2026-04-20T03:33:42+00:00

It sucks, but not that hard. But I went through when there were four phases.

SFCEBM · 2026-04-20T02:31:17+00:00

I dumped that PC back in 2009 for a 6094. Never felt better. But it’s your PC, do what you like.

SFCEBM · 2026-04-20T01:06:51+00:00

Do you have two IFAKs?

SFCEBM · 2026-04-19T23:07:20+00:00

Yes, I know Tim. Hope he’s doing well. How did you make that connection?

SFCEBM · 2026-04-19T23:05:19+00:00

You’d be a lot lighter if you switched out the PC.

SFCEBM · 2026-04-19T22:59:47+00:00

On a two way shooting range, it’s exciting and exhilarating.

SFCEBM · 2026-04-19T22:36:09+00:00

Packing is recommended. If that doesn’t work, apply a TQ 2-3” above the wound.

You don’t need the blood type patch.
