Ukraine A Deadly Mistake: Overuse of Tourniquets Is Crippling Ukraine
This has been observed in previous conflicts. If its happening in Ukraine, it's most assuredly happening in the Russian army. The Telegraph journalist should research rather better. As long ago as 1945, the use of tournequets in combat fell out of favor secondary to excessive use for minor injuries and prolonged application without conversion, resulting in excessive harm. TQs were largely not used in Korea and Vietnam. US Navy SEALS reintroduced tactical TQs on ops in 1996. Even so, prior to going into Afghanistan, the US military had received little training on the TQ. But by 2006, it was in widespread use. The SEAL surgeons found that lack of use of then TQ in Vietnam lead to unecessary deaths. The Navy SEAL Medical Research program estimated that at least 3,400 men bled to death in Vietnam due to lack of use of a TQ. Some surgeon images on the combat application of TQs Combat, minimal injury, TQ requiring conversion This injury had a TQ in place for 5 hours, was not amenible to TQ conversion. Traumatic amputation, TQ conversion not possible These examples are from Ukraine. Extended fitment of TQs is not to do with "a cult of TQs" Captain Stevens is inconsistant. Battlefield evacuations in Iraq and Afghanistan were achieved typically within an hour. I had first hand knowledge of the superb facilities at Bagram, and the subsequent C17 flying hospitals. The Ukraine is a different kettle of fish. Amputations are not, in the main, due to Ukrainian inappropriate use of the TQ but because battlefield evacuations are typically more than 6 hours. In WW2, issues with TQs were recognised, leading to medics specifically marking casualties in large letters that a TQ was fitted. The Americans, and the British, have no comparable recent experience to what the Ukrainians are experiencing; they are rediscovering WW2 style combat. Neither the US nor British forces have experienced true total combat since 1945. Its a pretty consistant pattern in military medicine that lessons are constantly learnt and forgotten; you can go back to Alfred Keogh's anguished writings on the suffering of the wounded Tommy in the Boer War, where disease killed more men than bullets. 20 years later. He went out the South Africa as a newly promoted Major, came back just a few years later a General, largely due to his efforts in Parliament to raise the issue. In WW1, he was put in charge of the Provosts, and they had the same problems all over again, this time with trench foot. Trench Foot was a problem again in 1982, with lessons forgotten/ The biggest killer of men in Afghanistan, after IEDs? It wasn't bullets. It was sepsis, aka blood poisoning. The Telegraph article is twisted, taking a notably anti-Ukrainian line, as if the Ukrainians are uniquely acting inappropriately. They are not. We would have done exactly the same, learned the same exact lessons. And some bright spark with pips on his shoulder would have started spouting the same old military maxim/excuse, Operational Pragmatism. British biomedical engineers are at the forefront of developing a technical solution, using a new type of tournequet combined with a device that cools the affected limb, increasing the chances of saving it. Its presence though is academic, in the midst of a war that the planet hasn;t seen the like of for 80 years.- 1

Crime 4 Chinese Nationals Held for Burglary of Canadian’s Home
Picture courtesy of Matichon. Four Chinese nationals have been arrested in connection with a burglary in Pak Kret, Nonthaburi, where a Canadian woman’s home was broken into and a safe containing assets worth over 600,000 baht was stolen. At a press conference held on the morning of 5 August, at Pak Kret Police Station, officers announced the arrest of four suspects at a residence in Lat Krabang, Bangkok. The suspects, identified only as Mr. A (35), Mr. B (48), Mr. Li (34), and Mr. V (37), are all Chinese nationals. Police recovered a large cache of evidence including: • Two motorcycles • Clothing allegedly worn during the burglary • A blue motorcycle helmet • Two Tag Heuer watches • Thai banknotes totalling 20,000 baht (in 1,000 baht denominations) • 121 Turkish lira banknotes (200 denomination) • 64 Syrian banknotes (5,000 denomination) • Eight mobile phones • Numerous tools believed to have been used in the break-in The investigation was launched after the homeowner, Ms. Zhu, a Canadian citizen, reported to Pak Kret Police on 30 July that her safe had been stolen while she and her family were away on a trip to Koh Samui. Upon returning home, she discovered the safe missing from her office on the second floor. It reportedly contained cash and important documents with an estimated total value of 600,000 baht. Police reviewed CCTV footage, which showed a group of male intruders scaling a side fence and entering the home at around 19:00 on 26 July. The suspects were later seen fleeing with the stolen items on a motorcycle. Further footage traced their movements to a house in Lat Krabang, from where they departed at approximately 15:23 and returned at 21:53 using a different motorcycle. The suspects face multiple charges including: • Night-time theft using a vehicle to aid in the crime or escape • Receiving stolen property One suspect, Mr. B, faces an additional charge of illegal entry into the Kingdom of Thailand. Immigration Bureau officers have confirmed that the suspects have a history of frequent travel in and out of Thailand under the guise of tourism. Authorities are now investigating whether they may be linked to similar crimes in other areas. The suspects have been handed over to investigators at Pak Kret Police Station and the case is now being coordinated with Immigration Division 1 for further legal proceedings.
