And they are our regular Joe's that we train

AbCs and CpR around and breathe and bleeding stuff is going to kill you out. There is the
Is the Terrence come on [engineers]?
Okay, come on in Terrence

Sergeant Mitchell with a 50 second minimum care attachment good enough, so tony's going over his medic bag with us
I'm going to do a little youtube video. We just did some suturing nice. How long did we sit here for a hour hour?
He's ready was just going over some stuff that I wanted to you know get some
Refresher on a lot of stuff of everything so he's ready to rock and roll
I'll try do my best. [I] think it was that bag with you all the time this bag was with me all the time uh
not when I was with the navy
I had what they called the the unit 3 which was a
different a small little
Trifold Medic bag now what who's whose bag?
is that what is the company the company that makes this bag is London Bridge trading company and
These are awesome bags these are their um
the first ones that came out with called their specops banks the it is it set up specifically as a as a
Medical bag or just a multi-use packed it said for simply as a medic okay?
Good with this comes two little other cases one with a red handle is marked for your um
Your meds that you would have to
Dispense ie or your lidocaine
Whatever you're up to whatever is authorized [to] be [ivory] okay, okay, and then the other one has a blue handle on it
and that's for your airway, and you can put your
laryngoscopes in there and your
Et tubes, and [everything] like that, and they nest inside there
They live inside looks I put inside this specifically this specific bag. [I] try to just make it
make my bag as
lightweight, but have enough stuff with me for what I'm going to need so so gear management is sort of individual at some degree and
With the with the gears are coming out with that we have to wear into the field now. They they have adapted
For the medics they've adapted a little
It's called the molle system, and you have a little each person on there under
their chester II that they wear will have a first-aid pouch with okay, and it's and it's
identified by a little tab on the top okay, and
It has in it you have blood stoppers. It's like a blowout kit. It's like a blowout kit. Yeah, it would be an immediate immediate
[go-to] kit
right and in general as a medic if you're going to
Help someone you're going to use their [on] [board] blowout kit before you dig into your gear right okay, and so everybody's carrying
Some medical [image] cameras on some sense of medical stuff on so give us a tour. This is a cool looking greg
So what's on the outside here? The outside here is just the outside compartment. I saw you have some pockets first
I'm just going to guide you a little bit
oh, yeah, what he got down below this I have my trauma says here yep, and I have a carabiner and
Your little ear protection clip to this and then on the [other] side over [here]. I have another carabiner
Yeah, and if we if we had somebody had o2 and they [needed] [a] key I carry an extra key got near a chewkey
So also these little straps that are snapping down here if you can also jump with this bag
And this is this is where that I want matt formatted for you to jump okay when you if you have to do any
parachute Ops and stuff
In here is [like]. I carry all this stuff that I have in here. I kind of like you [know] wow you know
Accumulated over the years you're talking to a bag man, so I'm agatha big and I have my israeli dressings Gonna
have my I believe these are my
Four inch you have six inch for bigger wounds four inch for like your your minimal arm [moves] or lower leg wounds yep
I have some [car] bats over here what I mean [verka] rats are like another quick use bandage
They can also be improvising to a sling okay?
Flashlight, [what] do you got for a flashlight? [I] have this is just a little
Led light that I have yeah
And [when] I but I also carry on you know you get these at the store for you know anywhere from
25 to 40 sun dollars it's amazing. How expensive flat lighting exactly and then I also have in here. I have some Kerlix gauze
And some individual sizes in a straps
And a straps you have [a] nice
Setup of insulins here. I got like
clamps
Needle nose needle nose forceps and everything like that bunch of scissors different sizes Iris scissors and everything cool
Some nice finger split finger Splints and everything here over here. I have this is [a] nice bag. Oh, I love this thing
It's like I have some more
curl wax here a bunch of
bunch marker bats because you can never have too many of those - yeah never [too] many of anything actually so and
Here this is
You're always going to be out of what you need the best. This is a cricoid kit. Yep, okay?
I've has that one. It's a nice one. Whose is that that is I believe Smith's okay?
emergency cricothyrotomy kit nice and
then these are the
famous hema, con bandages, okay
[which] were actually developed here a village here by a doctor here at this [hospital] and a doctor who put white [kiss] [you] yeah, and
One of the best hospitals around that I'm as far as I'm concerned
been with them for eight years
Also had the pleasure of working with Dr.. Peru who was on the other camera there? He is a former navy message myself and
We bumped into one another
Recognize one [another] when he care to work yeah exactly, but so these are these [are] nice these are nice
Yeah, this is the first size they came out and the ambulance crews used those [Cj] around here
they do and it's like work great, so
You got a fair amount in there, huh?
I also have a Sherman chest seals or on any chest trauma, so this is one of many
different commercial [quebec] seals that
have come out and the problem with chest seals the problem with these are is like you have a person's got a
sucking chest wound okay and
for those people that don't know what a second chest wound a second chest wound is when you have a penetration volunteer to your
upper torso that ie within the lung cavity and
it
Punctured your lung allowing air to get into that space okay, and by that it creates. What's called a pneumothorax [all] right and it
Compresses will compress. What's left that lung into the other side okay into the other side making it virtually?
Your your breathing is labored, okay?
So what we do with these chest seals is you want to place them over the the site of the wound okay?
but before you do you ask the patient to breathe in and
Then breathe out breathe in as much as they can even though it's going to hurt and then breathe out exhale out all there
They can and then slap it on and just like get it in place
What it does that creates a vacuum steel into the chest?
Not allowing a moon not allowing air to get in but it allows the air to escape on Italy and [Alysha], okay. Good enough
but with these you
[have] you run the promise like you're out there running operations a guy goes down
You're going to be sweaty because [you] got all its gear on and you want to make sure
Justice on sweaty chest you have that you have a dry area so it's going to stick okay
another method for
If I will if you don't mind again yeah, this is
See the plastic seal on this yep, okay, you take the plastic seal off
Slap it over the wound okay
You tape down for [saw] or take down three sides leaving the four side open to act as a flutter [belt], right?
So you're doing a field expedient?
exactly
you're doing [a] flutter valve by using your
Packaging and taping three sides down and on these chest seals you have a flood about it's like a little
Looks like a little piece to rubber balloon. It's just a little um
What do we call a tiny penrose drain yep? Okay?
So I think inside every medic or corpsman. There's a little macgyver
Exact do you agree? [oh] yeah? It's like you just you come up you [got] [an] [odd] improvise
You will come up on your fellow medics and stuff like this, and [you] look at the [er]. And what they've done
Wow, that's awesome. I'm gonna write that down right and you guys are always good about sharing
Oh exactly, but that's this compartment and a look at your main concern are your soldiers? My name is my soldiers
I think you know I've been doing this for about
19 years and I love my job and
You know I'm all about code all right. Let's see what you got there within this stuff
I'm just going to wear in that written that isn't the main main compartment
Okay This main compartment here was when these guys come to us brand new where I told you get those other two little bags
For airway and your your medications yeah, and they can fit [right] in here in either pocket, okay?
what I do is I streamline my bag, and I just
Take out this
Up here. I've got some extra pan. I've got some of this [H&H] compressed gauze. Yeah, okay for bandaging
[he'll] compress camouflage okay, and I've got some house. We'll have a
panel a marker panel [aviation] parking so so doesn't need [to] [evac] so we need to evaC somebody and we set up a
Casualty collecting point we can throw this out and the lastest what is the method of marking sight [you] either use smoke?
Flares or you can mark your panel or a marker panel sweet a lot of us carry these on this
Four by fours up in here. I've got hand cleaning Purell Magill Forceps Magill forceps
Yeah, we are all issued these and these are for Airway airway
Only if you can see something in the airway you can get at it like with how they teach in
CpR. Now is when you're doing a finger sweep. Don't do a blind finger
sweep if you can see the object
So you're not going to use that McGill unless you can see what you're grabbing?
Exactly unless you can see what you wrote I even have my own a little field medical
suture case
Nice set up with everything. I would need a little pocket here
You could put your your sutures in here [here] and everything so everything I would need to go
And you definitely have the suturing skills up
Thanks to hair doctor here
In this lord portion I set up my IV banks okay. I've got I carry 500 mills right now
You can't carry a thousand mills in this bag now just to reiterate this is
One if you need to start an IV here you've got this [decent] got this package only to go stuff
[but] [I] got my I got at least two
18 Gauge Needles I have a
The Ivies the IV starter kit. I've got two alcohol pads

He gave all the medics one. That's nice. I've got my little
Big moment on Nate, Er

I love it. I carry
Collected whatever you got your I've got marcaine. I've got lidocaine with Epi. I'm at Regular Vitae cane
I've also got some sodium bicarbonate along will you people away you supper?
Over so it doesn't sort of lidocaine doesn't sting so much for other people
I've got some sutures in here, but I got right [here]

I
Tell you if you're not a that's incapacitating. That's nice - [hey]. [it] is it [knocks] you out and then toured all over pain
He's toured all for a number of it. You know where I keep my scalpel owes my extra needles. I would need any
alcohol pads, I also have some
What else more bandages?
I have some op sites. [yeah]
and those are primarily used for
when you do an IV you put it over the IV placement, so you can keep an eye on your
your site yep to make sure nothing happens to it and
Yeah, that's it in a nutshell what I have in this bag, so nice job
That's a very nice bag and you've got it to set up
really smartly
okay, so this is a totally cool bag and the good sergeant is remembering another feature here that he wanted to share and on the
Inside of this bag [is] you open it up? I can actually open it up and [show] you so you'd have
some little
More little pockets on the inside here come in handy [for] stuff. I
always forget about these pockets
Medics are kind of bad guys aren't they they are so you have two pockets here, okay?
and I've got a bunch of moleskin in this pocket, okay, but you can also utilize these pockets for
Your water bladder your water bladder, and you've got an outfeed port you
Have an outfeed port right here where you can bring up [your] hose, okay, every thought yeah
So as well let it dangle [a] [doubt] over here, but yeah, you can use them for anything
but you can put you can stuff like your
Casually blankets they'll reflect that again
Tony that bag is for the company a company is London bridge trading in the name of the bag is
this is called the spec Ops bag okay, and you like it as a medic bag level isn't many thing and
Very many many of your colleagues use that same bag yes?
I have quite a few friends that are medics and they use the same bag and were issued the same bank such as myself
