After the IFAK: Part I
Added 2019-05-17 01:46:44 +0000 UTCThere can never be enough medical info! In the “After the IFAK” series we want to detail what the average /k/ommando can do to continue providing medical care for wounds encountered in non-permissive or austere environments. This field of study is known as Prolonged Field Care (PFC). Tourniquets need to be eventually loosened, infections constantly battled, and pain eventually managed. The materials and skills I will attempt to cover will include items the average /k/ommando would have, in keeping with the idea that you’re on your own. Part I will cover tourniquet conversion, often the first step in our process.
