Yes I am a certified Instructor for a civilian entity and have military and civilian certs, but the reminder of liability and indemnification is certainly well received and should be considered by all. Since the majority of what I teach is self aid, the “duty to act within the scope of training” is generally placed on the individual for self care.
QuikClot,
Yes we have moved away from that and on to a gauze impregnated with a hemostatic or clotting agent like Celox. You can pack a non-compressible bleed with it along with direct pressure. I’ve never used it but I’m told it works well but difficult to perform on one’s self. I have used QC in a laboratory setting several times and it works wonderfully but takes at least two people and of course the exothermic issue is dangerous. Definitely not self aid.
