Emergency mgmt agencies across #PugetSound region will distribute over 1,700 #bleeding control kits in effort to make potentially lifesaving tools more accessible. Officials will prioritize distributing kits to #schools, equipping #educators #students #medicalsupplies such as #tourniquets & gauze that can help them address emergencies while first responders are on the way, per King County Office of Emergency Management. This is America! #MassShooting #GunViolence https://www.seattletimes.com/seattle-news/king-county-to-distribute-bleeding-control-kits-starting-with-schools/

The tourniquets we bought from JB Tacticals were ridiculously cheap. Almost too cheap to be true really. This makes us wonder about the quality and whether they're up to the job. It's a serious concern, because when a tourniquet fails people die.

The tourniquets are not official CAT standard, but the JB Tacticals online shop does heavily promote this letter from the Ukrainian Guard, which I have to believe is genuine.

We eagerly await feedback on these #tourniquets.

Letzten Samstag habe ich eine #TECC (Tactical Emergency Casualty Care) Fortbildung begleitet.

Unglaublich lehrreich und spannend, auch mit dem Blick durch den Sucher der Kamera.

Seit Samstag traue ich mir die Nutzung von #Tourniquets zu.

Bin gerade dabei, mein #IFAK neu zu bestücken. Überlege, ob ich zwei #Tourniquets integriere. Man weiß ja nie.
