In our Stop the Bleed® class we address the immediate controlling of life threating bleeding but often times we get asked what to do for the chest and abdomen. These areas we can't wound pack which is why we have created this class on chest seals and their use. This class is not a certification but an opportunity to learn about some traumatic chest injuries, chest seals and their use. This knowledge is great for everyone but especially those engaged in "high velocity" activities in areas where care might be delayed.
In this class we will discuss and practice the following:
- Improvising Chest Seals
- Common Commercial Chest Seals
- Vented vs. Non Vented Chest Seals
- When they are indicated
- Proper Placement
- Assessment
Professionals practice and our goal is to provide an affordable opportunity to keep training and maintain those perishable skills. This is not just for beginners, but instead we welcome all skill levels and experiences to participate.
