Needle decompression is one of the first line treatments for tension pneumothorax but healthcare providers have long faced a fundamental challenge... How to confirm a successful needle placement in chaotic, noisy environments where listening for a "rush of air" is almost impossible.

The Capnospot by changes that. This compact, lightweight device attaches to your decompression needle and changes colour from blue to yellow when carbon dioxide is detected, for immediate visual confirmation.

If you're interested in learning more about the Capnospot for your team, get in touch at info@tacmedaustralia.com.au or call 1300 862 633.

PART TWO: Yesterday Jez showed you the figure-8 technique to bring your patient's feet back into natural alignment. Now here's how to properly position and secure a SAM Pelvic Sling.

One of the most common mistakes when splinting the pelvis is wrong placement. Your splinting device must sit over the greater trochanters - NOT the iliac crest.

The SAM Pelvic Sling's force-controlled design removes the guesswork on how much compression to use. Pull the strap until you hear the click, then lock it with Velcro and you're done. This is a great kit addition for anyone providing trauma care in more remote settings.

Do you carry this in your kit? Let us know in the comments,

A fractured pelvis can hold over 3 litres of blood but splinting can minimise the space for blood to fill. To do this, you should start by bringing your patient's feet together and immobilising with a triangular bandage in a figure-8. Part 2 of this video drops tomorrow - see how and where to apply a SAM Pelvic Sling.

The triangular bandage is one of the most versatile bits of kit. What else can it be used for in an emergency situation? 👇

Can you spot what we did here that's necessary but not exactly textbook?

Yep, the tourniquet is closer to the wound than you'd typically want. But with an impaled object this high on the thigh, 5cm above the wound was not possible. In the real world sometimes we have to adapt.

This video features the C-A-T tourniquet, you can find it under "Top Products" in our Link in Bio.

If you're new here, you might be wondering... what's an IFAK?

It stands for Individual First Aid Kit. Most first responders carry one - but we believe every Aussie should have access to the same level of lifesaving gear.

This isn't bandaids and antiseptic. It's what you need to treat life-threatening wounds until help arrives.

What's in your IFAK? Let us know in the comments...
