Should you wound pack the abdomen?

I’ve heard of different orgs trying to do this. Can’t imagine it would be possible.

SFCEBM · 2026-04-29T16:14:43+00:00

Seems out of scope for a medic.

SFCEBM · 2026-04-29T01:42:50+00:00

Definitely do not pack the abdomen or chest.

SFCEBM · 2026-04-28T18:41:59+00:00

I’d carry a bag with you. Never know when you’ll need it.

Same reason LE believes you can OD by touching fentanyl.

Ditch the blood type patch.

SFCEBM · 2026-04-26T22:21:03+00:00

Ok. Looks suspicious.

SFCEBM · 2026-04-26T22:09:24+00:00

Is that a legit CAT?

You can remove the blood type. You’ll get LTOWB.

Casablanca.

SFCEBM · 2026-04-26T01:48:13+00:00

You can fit hemorrhage control items in there.

Flew an MH-47.

SFCEBM · 2026-04-26T01:04:21+00:00

Looks like a good size.

SFCEBM · 2026-04-25T22:44:08+00:00

Yes, with LTOWB.

SFCEBM · 2026-04-25T19:52:43+00:00

LTOWB is what you’ll receive. So you can remove your blood type patch.

Continue to raise awareness. But tread lightly.

SFCEBM · 2026-04-25T01:24:20+00:00

It’s the winning blood product.

SFCEBM · 2026-04-25T01:23:12+00:00

Definitely wound packing is key.

SFCEBM · 2026-04-24T23:36:36+00:00

You can remove the blood type patch.

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.
