Thanks for your help Ace!I spoke on the phone to someone at a EMT training school and they were the ones who mentioned MAST and using hemos to clamp the artery, it seemed a little extreme to me. Our writer had originally written in a tourniquet, but that didn't seem right either. I appreciate the response.

Hi all - i do research for a tv show and we're debating the best way to depict a paramedic treating a young man with a GSW to his leg. Thought this would be a good place to get input. Imagine the kid's bleeding pretty badly and they are arriving at a hospital... Would the paramedic have applied PASG? A tourniquet? Splinting of some kind? Someone even said in extreme cases they would use hemos to hold the femoral artery? Any help would be appreciated.
