I love the fact he's got someone watching his back in the video. It really gives that realness to it & how the situation would be in a moment like that.
I love that you addressed two of my biggest pet peeves. Pasta water isn't for trauma, and black tacticool gloves are stupid because you can't see blood.
To be honest some of the recent pre-Hosp research evidence is showing that 0.9% NaCl isn’t actually that different in terms of patient centred outcomes compared to blood products
Luka, I’m working as a volunteer medic and ferrying medical supplies into Ukraine. The main injuries seen by my colleagues are shrapnel wounds, blast injuries and crushing injuries in civilians caught in collapsed structures. It’s such a wide variety of injuries and now diseases and diabetic issues in elderly. With summer heat coming on now, dehydration and heat injuries will start picking up too, recommendations and suggestions would be helpful. Your videos have been really helpful in aiding with instruction of soldiers, doctors and medics. Keep up the good work~”Papa Doc”
Another great video. In my mascal bags (different METT-TC environment obviously) I try to get cravats in green, yellow, red (from fabric store) and from feed stores they make horse tape (Coban) which is colored in black, yellow, red, and green. They are in 3” rolls but you can cut them down to an inch. This way I can set up triage areas and tag people. This is not only good for your organization but it’s good patient hand off. You are going to treat people for hypothermia if they got trauma. So your interventions might be hidden when they reach a higher level of care. Your receiving triage nurse might just walk down and do a sick/not sick thing. So if you got a TQ on someone before they go hypovolemic or you got them some blood in them, they may look not sick and get passed over. Maybe not if you got a red cravat or red piece of coban attached to them.
In the MASCAL bag, durable Body Bags/w handles can also be used as a soft litter and used to cache supplies and equipment e.g. extended missions with resupply drops Note: don't put them IN the bag if they are still alive. If you're going as far as giving WB. WB is best, but Hextend isn't worthless either. Pressure infusers take little space and weigh next to nothing, you can reuse them and most importantly it frees up hands. Also, maintain flow when moving the casualty. FAST-ones have their benefits, but they are single-use. IO drills can be used multiple times and you can pack more needle/catheters. Easy to use and work quickly. In a really messed up guy where peripheral access is unlikely, you can gain 2 access points whereas the FAST1 can only get one. Best part of all, IO takes about the same space as a single FAST-1 Pack kerlix and elastic wrap. You can use for nearly all combat injuries with the right skills. Avoid ETBs if you can, less versatility. Kerlix = Pack, bandage, wrap, pressure/wad, tie/secure, sponge ect... 6" Elastic Wrap= dress, bind (pelvis), compress, ect... Use 3" tape for trauma, cover more surface area to stick better. You can strip it down vertically for 1" or 2" for other purposes.
Thanks Luka, entertaining and educational as always! I check my tape at least once a year, since I had a roll dry out on me. That was a slippery day....
Thanks UF pro for making these videos they are priceless especially with the Jokes of Luka 💯😂 would love if UFpro had a podcast with Luka as the hoast!!
I’m not going to be able to outfit myself with that kind of stuff for a bit, but I’m going to try and build up to it eventually. Mascal incidents are literally what my job is to prevent (at least at the casinos I work for) it’s good to prepare for the proverbial crap to hit the fan. Thanks for the ideas Luka!
I have the exact same setup in my Airway/Respiratory Pouch 🤍 That was the most evidence based medic pack video I saw in a looong time... just what I expected Luka to do 😉🤓
Great informative video. Your kit is hard won based on experience. Thank you. I throw in a surgical stapler too. lightweight and works great on a lot of things where I need to pull skin together now.
Im loving this videos...im not a paramedic, but i always carry my IFAK when im in mission and I increased the size and number os itens inside it because Luka show me the right way...
Great video and thank you for making it! The only thing I would change is to carry two epi pens, just in case casualty needs a second dose before help arrives, if they will arrive. Or just carry syringes and epinephrine in drug case
Maybe a couple of stick lights Color coded if you wish They are obviously very visible so: if situation permits - light them up under a blanket, use an infusion set to prick and drain the stick in the bottom. Make knots in the tubing to make small pieces of illuminated tubing. Scissor with scissors. Leave them on or near casualties, so you don’t lose them or step on them in the dark
Great video as always! (Was missing the scissoring joke ;-) ) Where do you keep your personal stuff (poncho, MRE, water, other small stuff) when your on a longer patrol/mission without vehicle? I have a pack with two big compartments. One for general stuff and one with the small velcro pockets for my medic stuff. This way, if I get separated from my buddies, I still have my basic essentials on me. Unfortunately I can't carry as much medic equipment as I would like to. I put some of the "not so time essential" stuff (e.g. splint) in the general compartment and also handed out some "trauma kits" to my buddies in case of a MASCAL (so they can go to work immediately themselves or resupply me if necessary). Still would love to hear how you keep your everyday essentials on you during a mission.
Nice video. Thanks. Is it right that you have your 24h bag always with your MasCas bag? If not, what about gloves in your MasCas Bag? How ever. Nice series and nice loatout.
Getting ready for an upcoming ftx with mascals involved. I have 2 aidbags one for resupply/sick call and my other m9 bag for mascal just nothing with MARCH plus vitals kit. The biggest takeaways i got was the bleeding kits which made more space for more Class 8 I can stuff in the Mascal bag. Thanks for the videos and I can't wait for more medic bag setups! Also could you drop a link for the aidbag you have

Just came across this, great work 👏 what brand is your med bag ?
I love the fact he's got someone watching his back in the video. It really gives that realness to it & how the situation would be in a moment like that.
I’m a brand new medic for my unit (also the only medic) and your videos have helped me out ALOT!
Hey Romero. I don't know if you remember me, but we went to basic and AIT together.
uriel wake up someone u might know is in the replies
Hey wait! I thought he & I went thru OTS together.
@@jerryma152 I’m sorry I’m a year late! But yes bro! I hope you’ve been good
Damn he didn't make the scissoring joke this time. I was excited for that
Yeah, like just reshoot the whole video at that point. I was bitterly disappointed
@@JB-oj7bq Whats the scissoring joke?
@@irtaf3 here I got some scissors, for scissoring 🌚
Thank you for making this video. I am literally in the middle of stocking my kit.
You're welcome. Don't miss the last episode. 💪🏼
@@ufprogear I know that he messed up during the BVM scene, but you guys do a good job so it's a secret between you guys and me. Cheers to you. 🥂

I'm getting stuff taken care of at home so I can go. But how would an American go about getting there?

Glad you like them!
I think Luka needs to do some more videos. Very informative.
Another fantastic vid! Keep up the great content guys. Props to Luka, the main man!
Very useful information from an "Former Special Forces medic, Author and Anime Enthusiast"
Great work
He doesn't seem the least bit funny but OMG he outrageously funny. Good video. Thanks.

I loved the perimeter security detail around you!

Great video, Luka is so awesome. Shoutout also to the guy pulling security in the background
I LIKE HOW YOU SAID ORGANIZE HOW IT MAKES SENSE IN YOUR HEAD RATHER THAN HAVING TO ALWAYS BE IN A CERTAIN PLACE
Great video! I have so much medical gear this will help me with my load outs. Love all the knowledge you guys throw our way, also the humor! Love it!
Haha 11:43 grunts! Great video and series! 👍🏻
Love this series. This guy is in equal part entertaining and instructive

Thank you Luka, I needed this today!
Love the dude always posted up in the back ground. 😎🤙🏻
Great Stuff Luka! As always, good demo, decent gear and some funny comments! Brilliant.

Are the scissors for scissoring or what?

Luka is so serious in this video!! Great info, many thanks for the hard work!😎🤙👍👍
Interested in the bag for your kit
Could be wrong but looks like a Tasmanian Tiger - First Responder Move On MKII Backpack, this zip off kit is a bit of a give away
I'm watching this becuase i am interested. I have never seen a medic that is so educational and funny at the same time.
Hey Ryan, thanks for the feedback. We like that, too 😉
Where can I find that bag? Pretty neat
These are great. Some of my favorite
The dude in the background keeping watch is priceless 10/10
Always the greatest guys thanks
very helpful video thanks, in my opinion an extra safety glasses won't hurt
GRACIAS POR LA INFORMACIÓN!! FELICIDADES POR LOS VIDEOS!!
Nice video! Keep up the good work!
Maybe a couple of stick lights

Where’d you get that bag, thing is sweet

A ton of great inspiration, what size NPA (ch) do you use/ recommand?
Not luca but most people carry 28f as it fits most people
Sorry if I misheard or haven't been paying enough attention but what is the brand/name of that medical pack that you have?
I would recommend keeping your swiss army knife/multitool in a pocket or on your belt. At least that's what I have done.
Nice
Excellent standard folks. Suggestion for your bag....sweeties dude!! come on!! 🤣👍🏻
