Celox

[Peter]

Heres a question for you Celoxman.

 

Say I stick a chainsaw into a femoral artery, and I happen to be standing next to the first aid kit, which has the only packet of celox in it. Should I wait 30 seconds or so for the blood pressure to decrease so its more effective, or just rip the pack open and pour it straight in?

 

I know what would happen in real life, just curious as to what would give the best result.

Sorry, have been away at a medical conference.

 

I wouldn't advocate waiting anytime at all with an injury like that, or any other major bleed.

 

Depending on who you talk to gets you a different answer every time. Time is of the escence, so get it in and pack it down asap. If anyone's around to stick a tourniquet on you at the same time, you might want to buy them a beer afterwards

Would this help on a juglular neck injury?

Just thinking of that lad who died http://www.arbtalk.co.uk/forum/showthread.php?t=3776&highlight=neckcould it have possibly saved someone from that type of injury.

 

Mesterh,

 

It would be of help in a situation like this, although how effectively you could self-administer with that injury may be a subject for debate. If someone else was around to get it into the wound and get some pressure on it it would certainly help the outcome

Looks like I'll be buying some then

 

If theres a possibility that It can save a life especially from an injury like that then it would be a crime not to own some
