Our Advanced Care Paramedic students were captured mastering their wound packing skills during their term 2 trauma training!

Wound packing uses precise internal pressure on lacerated blood vessels in attempt to control bleeding. Ideal for junctional injuries where tourniquets and direct pressure can't suffice. 🩸💪
