Good knowledge to have and test your junior medics on. Every medic should know where the landmarks for Anterior Axillary Line needle thoracostomy and Mid Axillary Line Tubal/Finger Thoracostomy. You should be able to walk up to junior medics and "pop quiz" them by having them draw the safety triangle on their buddy with a marker and choose their site. (Some even use their povidone-iodine swabs to mark landmarks before the procedure.)
People accidentally tube livers, diaphragms and all. Know your landmarks!!!

If you're placing a needle, finger or tube through the chest wall, it should be lateral and in the 4th/5th ICS.

We will be giving a Level II Pistol and Bleeding Control Course to Selected LE this weekend. Dont forget to check our schedule class dates for up coming fun. Our next Pistol with TCCC-AC on day two is in late August. We look forward to seeing you all there.

This is one of the charities we have backed and participate in yearly. We will be competing again in September at the Great American Shoot to help raise money for these great men and their families. All the money donated between now and May 31 will go to the MSG Gordon MOH Memorial Fund.

Wonderful day to celebrate the 10 Year Anniversary of @thecomfortcrew for Military Kids & putting 100 comfort kits together for military kids here at Fort Hood!

November there will be a fund raising event held by The Comfort Crew. Please enjoy the video!!! That being said it is often times the kids are left home while their parents deploy. There are different types of kits available for the kids. Those kits consist of ones for deployment, reintegration after deployment, and how to deal or cope when your parent comes back injured or even the loss of a parent. We here at 911 Tactical Medicine hope to see you at the event!

November there will be a fund raising event held by The Comfort Crew. That being said it is often times the kids are left home while their parents deploy. There are different types of kits available for the kids. This week we dropped off 55 kits in the Ft Hood area to schools. Those kits consist of ones for deployment, reintegration after deployment, and how to deal or cope when your parent comes back injured or even the loss of a parent.

We will be there at the fund raising event in November and will be auctioning off a special event to help raise money to keep the kits coming for the kids. Stay tuned for more information and how you can help. We will be sharing pictures of the next days golf tourniquet and some of the events at the fund raiser. They say that Matthew Kinney and his daughter will be part of a fashion show.
