We use surgical tampons everyday in our OR.. See.. we cut off your gauze you apply in the field in the OR... then debrde the wound or wound channel. If we have to do an Exploratory Laparotomy we use surgical tampons to provide hemostasis.

Surgical Tamponades are vital and used in virtually every case from ENT, Oral Surgical cases, thru Thoracic, Cardiac, Abdominal, and even Orthopedic rooms.

Please don’t base your assumption on the value of a tampon prehospital, when a variant of these are used everyday in every OR in the world.

Here’s the definition of Tamponade...
tam·pon·ade
/ˌtampəˈnād/
noun
MEDICINE
  1. 1.
    compression of the heart by an accumulation of fluid in the pericardial sac.
  2. 2.
    the surgical use of a plug of absorbent material.
33 years in Medicine here... Several State Medical Licensures here...
The point is we ARE talking pre-hospital, not an OR with multiple people managing a specific lane not to mention being able to ligate an artery or cross clamp a bleeder.
 

Pretty hard to take any of this **** serious, or the people that offer it up. See in real Medicine we don’t read non peer reviewed articles from unestablished journals, with no prospective analysis. More importantly, with no patients enrolled in an academic study is deeply disturbing. How you could reference this as empirical evidence, andthen call yourself a clinician...
 
1st hand combat driven experience or an OR/Scrub tech running there mouth...I'll stick with what I know, for the women out there... tampons are for vaginas, good luck with your efforts to stop life threatening hemorrhage

There is no peer review on this first article, purely editorial....

Now your second article has a Medical Student and a resident.. You truly don’t even know the definition of peer reviewed, or what a prospective study is, with the data that needs to be collected to be considered research....

Laughable you offer up an Instagram post..

SMDH....
 
Lol whats laughable is you have provided not even an attempt to back your statement other then your own personal opinions...which are again like an asshole, everyone has one and they all stink. Im waiting for your peer reviewed articles as well as your credentials especially in a pre hospital setting as it is much much different than an OR.
