OC for Tactical Advantage
I'm putting together a list of the topics that I think would be beneficial to the readers. I want to get feedback on which topics people are wanting more information on, and how in depth they would like the information to go. So...the list:
Top 3 causes of death in a gun shot wound emergency:
- Hemorrhage/shock/cardiac arrest
- Tension Pneumothorax (air)/Hemothorax (blood)
- Airway Obstruction
Other topics of interest:
Trauma Systems and Mechanism of injuries
Penetrating Trauma
- Head and neck
- Eye
- Torso
- Abdomen
- Extemeties
Soft Tissue Trauma
- Lacerations
- Amputations/Partial Amputations/Avulsions
Burns
Advanced Airways (OPA, NPA, Intubation, Cricothyrotomy)
CPR and Defibrillation
Musculoskeletal Trauma
- Fractures
- Closed
- Compound
-Spinal Injuries
- Amputations/Partial Amputations
Kits
- First Aid
- Trauma
- EDC
So, certain topics can go way beyond a normal person skill set (ie: cricothyrotomy, intubations, IV)...but if anyone is interested in the information I will still find time to respond. Otherwise, I think the top 3 are going to be first, then as time allows I'll start getting into each of the other topics. I will focus on how each of these topics are related to self defense (gun shot wound, knife wound, blunt), but if anyone wants more information on how this pertains to other emergencies (ie: car crashes), let me know. For now, let's see who want's to know what, and I will start compiling information, pictures, and sources.
