If you read the VA Tech report, they did attribute some saves to the use of a tourniquet. Maybe they should be stocked up in our MCI kits we assemble?

Unless you're talking about an MCI kit that's physically on your ambulance, I don't really think a trailer is the place for life-saving equipment. Backboards, replacement O2 bottles, fine. Not something to mitigate an immediate life threat.

This thread is quite old. Please consider starting a new thread rather than reviving this one.
