shamus, I was trying to be object with your post and point out areas which you were not correct, if you would like to reply with insults thats fine.
You obviously have very little understanding of the mechanisms of injury involved with sudden decelleration accidents.
As for a pressure bandage on a closed fratured femur to stem the haemorrhage from a major ruptured blood vessel, not a chance. Realignment, immobilise and surgical intervention. The body will not compensate for the loss of 2/3 of circulating volume, and blood pressure is a poor indicator of blood loss status. |
