Good stuff! One point on humerus: I recall wanting a 1-inch gap between the elbow and the SAM splint. One end of splint in armpit, and coming up outside of arm. Distal to proximal bandaging. OEC6; North Lake Tahoe NSP.
What if there is no pulse? these videos show always 1 format... but never take for account that all your check lists... some of those items might go wrong.. like .. no pulse.. then what? what if the arm is cut off from circulation..>_> make 1 of these videos in the worse case scenario to wich the person can be saved.. GO!
If there is no pulse then worst case scenario your patient maybe in cardiac arrest, and they need CPR. If there is just no pulse in just that extremity then you should still immobilize but try to not compress vessels and get them to the hospital stat.
