Free tip for everyone, CATs ARE VERY PAINFUL, people may try to fight you while you are trying to apply one

I just wanna say how fortunate these victims are to be getting injured at the NAR office building.

just hope you don't have to watch 6 youtube ads when you need to watch this while someone is bleeding out LOL

Liked for the cordial thank you from the bleeding patient.

Even though he did it in the video they didn't mention that with single handed application you want to pull inwards towards yourself. Don't have the tab rotating away from body. Kinda like setting the toilet paper right

Great video! Well thought through and helpful.

Couple thoughts, if applying to a male patient on their leg, be very careful if applying it close to the groin. There’s important parts up there that WILL get crushed if they get caught in the TQ.

Second, as others have said, it hurts like nothing else and you just gotta go for it. I have scars still where someone got carried away applying one during a training session. Just gotta go for it.

2:25 that tourniquet was configured correctly, something that is VERY important folks!

[glencordero]

Very good and informative! Wtf though— Looks like there’s 12 dislikes (12 people must have not stopped the bleeding. 🤦🏽‍♂️)

A REALLY good instructional video - THANKS! You're probably saving lives somewhere in the world without even knowing it!

1.9k likes, 20 dislikes. What's wrong with the people who DON'T like this? I bet it's the type who don't pay full attention in class and think you ALWAYS have to apply a tourniquet at the top of the limb...

Thank y’all for this. It WILL save lives.

Just bought a couple of these for my truck's first-aid kit, Glad I looked up how to use them because I thought they worked in a completely different way! whoops

[HOSakanaIsMyOshi]

great video! recently got an IFAK and wanted to know how to use the included CAT tourniquet

○Tourniquet should be applied horizontal

○Must remove all the slack from the TQ prior to tensioning the windlass

A smooth gravel road called, it wants its voice back. :D Good video, very clear.

[hebrewhooligan]

Who? I say WHO? Is giving these videos a thumbs down 👎 😳 😡 who literally in this case dosen't like life savings equipment?

[tacticaljackson]

I’ve always heard “high and tight” and not 2-3 inches above the wound?

[dianebrown]

I have a serious question if anyone is looking. What kind of pulse is being referenced? And what is that?

[CHAOSMOVEMENT]

You took one for the team there, that's really tight. I had my girlfriend try it out on my arm and it hurts lol.

[creaure]

Something I learned from another, always turn it 2 more times. Just when you think you’re good. 2 more turns.

[CrysisDigital]

You must commit to applying the tourniquet. Cause Its going to hurt like hell. Stay safe everyone. I hope you never have to use a tourniquet.
