Better lead picture

[edit]

Seriously, this guy is SMILING, and his wound appears to be in less than serious condition. Emergency bleeding control is mainly necessary when the person is in life-threatening danger of losing blood, and this guy certainly isn't. I know that a seriously wounded person may be hard to come across in a free-license photo, and may be offensive to those who believe Wikipedia should be censored, but an article like this deserves a photo in which the victim NEEDS emergency bleeding-control treatment...preferably a photo where someone is APPLYING this treatment and not just an idiot smiling at the camera after one of his drinking buddies accidentally hit him in the face (for those of you trying to beat my arguments with the generalization stick, this is just a humorous example. I don't really know what happened to him, but it's not life-threatening at all. Might as well have been a drunken brawl). 97.87.141.242 (talk) 04:42, 30 January 2013 (UTC)[reply]

The Seafood Bandage

[edit]

Maybe this should be added to the page. http://www.popsci.com/popsci/medicine/279c849101acb010vgnvcm1000004eecbccdrcrd.html http://www.beyondbulbs.com/Celox-A-Granular-Hemostat-pr-177.html?gclid=CO3vr-aL9osCFQrCSgodGQzrtA —The preceding unsigned comment was added by Craigboy (talk • contribs) 03:31, 5 May 2007 (UTC).[reply]

This would be covered in the section under clotting agents, where this type of Haemostatic product are - it would be best added as a single sentence with reference to support this section. Owain.davies 06:38, 5 May 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Merger with tourniquet

[edit]
Comment - Your comments are certainly sensible, but tourniquet will need some improvement. OwainDavies (about)(talk) edited at 08:49, 2 March 2008 (UTC)[reply]
I will start working on cleaning up Emergency tourniquet. In order to preserve the edits to the current Tourniquet article, I'll request a history merge at Wikipedia:Cut and paste move repair holding pen. I realize that this isn't really when a history merge should be used, but there are only 2 overlapping edits, that were internal link changes. I think this is better than having a separate, unused duplicate tourniquet article just to preserve a small history. --Scott Alter 18:48, 3 March 2008 (UTC)[reply]
Anthony Appleyard, an admin at Wikipedia:Cut and paste move repair holding pen, thought it would be best to keep tourniquet, as well as bring back emergency tourniquet (which he proceeded to do). Therefore, I'll improve tourniquet and add links to the appropriate articles. --Scott Alter 21:19, 3 March 2008 (UTC)[reply]
I don't think that emergency tourniquet is going to be a useful article, as it is mostly how to. I agree that tourniquet deserves its own article, but emergency tourniquet is too far. OwainDavies (about)(talk) edited at 22:01, 3 March 2008 (UTC)[reply]
Emergency tourniquet isn't really a how-to - it just describes how tourniquet use varies in different situations. The most how-to-like section is "When to use a tourniquet," but that could easily be reworded. I also don't think there needs to be a separate article for "emergency tourniquet," but that most of the content there should be in the "tourniquet" article. I'd suggest you say something in response at Wikipedia:Cut and paste move repair holding pen. My request was denied, as Anthony Appleyard thought there were parallel histories (I don't consider 2 minor edits in 2 weeks as an unmergable history) and he liked the distinction of separate articles for surgical tourniquets and emergency tourniquets. --Scott Alter 23:06, 3 March 2008 (UTC)[reply]
  • Oppose. But it is important that the tourniquet page have a prominent, harsh disclaimer so that anyone who googles to it from their cellphone in a life threatening situation does not rely on its' "instructions" to place a tqt. where one is NOT indicated.!GeoBardRap 21:05, 24 July 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Under Construction

[edit]

This page is currently undergoing a rewrite by the Emergency Medicine and EMS Task Force, in order to have it re-evaluated at a 'B' level. Please feel free to jump in and contribute anything that you can. I have noted what appears to be a fascination with tourniquets among some of the previous editors. This will probably end up being toned down substantially, in order to provide a more global and clinical view of bleeding control. Your comments on this step are most welcome.

Revision of this article is now complete, and it has been submitted for reevaluation.Emrgmgmtca (talk) 15:38, 3 February 2009 (UTC)[reply]
[edit]

I think this page explains pretty clear about emergency bleeding and its treatment. But the thing is lack of proper information in the reference links as three of them are dead links. So, I did research and found a blog link related with the information provided in one of those dead links. That severe bleeding blog is First Aid Severe Bleeding . Thus, I refer to put this information instead of “ "Severe Bleeding (Univ. Michigan Medical School website)". Retrieved 2009-02-03.[dead link] “. Maybe this material would be better incorporated into the wikipedia emergency bleeding control project. Pooja.singla3 (talk) 07:21, 6 February 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Claim that needs a reference or should be deleted

[edit]

Some argue that tourniquets should never be used in the pre-hospital setting, not even for amputations

Unsourced and directly contradicts sourced information in emergency tourniquet. 72.200.151.13 (talk) 00:52, 23 February 2015 (UTC)[reply]

After the How-To...

[edit]

Maybe we could and should have some info, such as History after the all-important how-to medical sections. I am not, of course, disputing the value of this Page as it is, but Wikipedia is supposed to be an encyclopedia, not just a how-to, isn't it? If we didn't want to clutter this page too much, which I would understand, then maybe a good set of links to where such info as history, geographical etc could be found.
