Deep Cuts | Episode 2: Will It Stay in Place?

Stopping the bleed is the first test.
Maintaining control during movement is where many devices fail.

So - does the AAJT-S shift when patients are lifted, bent, dragged, or hoisted? Short answer: No.

The AAJT-S stays put because it uses an 8-inch-wide bladder that delivers wide, concentric pressure - not narrow point pressure. This creates deeper, more stable compression and resists shifting, even at 250 mmHg, through real-world extrication and transport.

Dragging.
Confined spaces.
Litter moves.
Hoists.
Vehicle extrication.

Hemorrhage control remains stable - inguinal, axillary, and abdominal. This is what stability looks like in real prehospital care.

NAEMSP | Tampa — January 29

On January 29, the Compression Works team attended NAEMSP in Tampa.

During the event, Dr. Croushorn sat down with Jimmy Apple (The EMS Avenger) and Dr. Levy to discuss a recent air medical incident highlighted by EMS1 - and what it reveals about effective medical direction: anticipation, coordination, and leadership under pressure.

Outcomes aren’t shaped in hindsight - they’re shaped by preparation, alignment, and leadership long before the patient reaches definitive care.

A full video capturing their conversation is coming soon - keep an eye out!

Some heroes don’t seek recognition - they earn it.

On September 10th, 2025, Paramedics Lance Loyer, Matthew Moodie, Kyle Tedford, and Doug Schube of Rogers Arkansas Fire Department responded to a call involving a female patient experiencing uncontrolled bleeding at an outpatient surgical center. Upon arrival on scene, the patient was presenting with uncontrolled bleeding from the abdomen. Recognizing the severity of the situation, the team applied the AAJT-S to control the bleeding. Following application, the patient’s condition stabilized, and she was transported for definitive care - ultimately making a full recovery.

For this life-saving intervention, Lance, Matthew, Kyle, and Doug were presented Compression Works Challenge Coins by Cliff Thompson - honoring their training and decisive action that led to a life saved.

Taking it back this Tuesday to a truly miraculous save shared by Jackson Health System— featuring the use of the AAJT-S.

A reminder of what’s possible when the right tools meet the right moment!

"Not everybody experiences a skydiving accident and lives to tell the story, but Jennifer Lemieux defied all odds.

After a harrowing parachute malfunction last year, Jennifer was airlifted to Ryder Trauma Center at Jackson South in critical condition with fractures in her spine and pelvis. Thanks to the swift response and expertise of the Jackson South trauma, neuro, and orthopedic teams, Jennifer not only survived, but made an extraordinary recovery. After a year of surgeries, rehabilitation, and determination, she's back on her feet and living life to the fullest."

“I can’t say thank you enough to the teams at Jackson who took care of me,” Jennifer said. “I knew I was in good hands the entire time I was there.”
