Mick that Abd. TQ is not to shabby. I saw it a while back, I have not got hands on one yet nor done much research into it, but if it works it is awesome. I had 60 y/o Male who was about to completely dissect a AAA, emergent to T10 at St. Anthony's, BP of 80/40 when we got him on the table, died about 10 minutes later as they were opening him up.

rbeau - That is one of the core reasons why we have TCCC. Soldiers have been dying the same way since the Civil War and why did we never put much effort into trying to stop it. Ft. Sam Houston and the United States Army Institute of Surgical Research are outstanding and doing true lifesaving work. Boston is a prime example of how it is paying off off of the battlefield. Time and Tourniquets are huge reasons why only 3 were killed in the bombings. This is a direct result of the research done at USAISR and on the battlefield.
