I made a video to try and help some people in dealing with wound and injuries away from medical care dealing with things like medevac helicopters as well as what to do with simple to life threatening wounds.

Great video. I liked your other videos as well, lots of information with out a bunch of useless chatter.

Any chance that you'll do a video on treating chest and abdominal wounds?

I could see about a chest video which is mostly to needle or not needle. Maybe put a seal on it and get to help.

With abdominal wounds you're fairly SOL and hope for the best. You can stuff come coagulants in there, but if you've got your liver or spleen there isn't much you're going to do to fix it.

With extremity injuries there is at least the possibility of managing it yourself. With chest and abdomen you just need to hope that you didn't get anything important injured.

I'm going to give them the parts about bleeding control/ CAT usage etc., our medics are pretty quick and a trauma center 5 min away but the more info I can give them the better.
