Bleeding Control
This course is a continuing education offered through NAEMT’s PHTLS program. This new course was developed in collaboration with the Denver Health Department of EMS Education and the Denver Police Department Metro/SWAT unit, and NAEMT’s Pre-Hospital Trauma Life Support (PHTLS) Committee.
Packing Wound
The packing material absorbs any drainage from the wound, which helps the tissues heal from the inside out.
Dressing & bandaging
When used with a dressing, the dressing is applied directly on a wound, and a bandage used to hold the dressing in place.
An occlusive dressing is an air- and water-tight trauma dressing used in first aid associated with gun shot wound.
A constricting or compressing device used to control venous and arterial circulation to an extremity for a period of time.
