That cop is "All that and a bag of chips".
Very likely this officer is prior service. Every Infantry soldier is taught to treat a sucking chest wound as part of basic first aid. Well done Officer, well done.
Tension pneumothorax. Air gets in thru stab wound, can't evacuate so air pressure in chest crushes heart. Three sided dressing is a temporary fix, let's air out thru stab, no air can get in
I worked Illinois Masonic ED back in the day. you?
What about the "Occlusive Chest Seal Non-Vented Adhesive Dressing for Open Chest Injury and Sucking Chest Wound" for $15 I got one for the first aid kit. Opinion?
I'm ww2 they used cellophane from cigarettes
nice.
I didn't know that, learned something new today.
Unfortunately, there was a slight delay while the cop had to finish the bag of potato chips first. Just kidding. Amazing work on the part of this hero.
Lol imagined him licking out the inside of the bag before placing on the open wound 😂😂😂
