[QUOTE="M1A1ABRAMS, post: 2749292, member: 123811"] I had to administer some first aide to my cousin when we were running our garage. He hooked up the A/C pressure lines on a Subaru backwards. These were the little cans back in the 90s (R22). Now they make the lines dummy proof. lol The bottom blew out of the can almost cutting off 3 fingers. I did not use a tourniquet. For one I did not have one. But could have easily made one if needed. I just applied enough pressure to slow down the bleeding. And kept his hand above his heart. And joked with him till we got to the hospital. I did not want him going into shock. So I thought joking around a little would help keep his mind busy. They saved all his fingers. And he has thanked me quite a few times since then. lol And I thank the US Army for the training they provided on first aide, all the while getting paid for some good times & comradely. I have never used the quick clot but do see how it could be a lifesaver. Especially around guns & knives. Tourniquets should be used as a last resort & monitored closely is what I was taught back then. Not sure if much has changed on that ? [/QUOTE]
