Feedback loops save lives - a frontline combat medic perspective
summary
Frontline medics shorten feedback from six months to one-week video feedback and iterate kit in weeks, turning an off‑the‑shelf Combat Application Tourniquet into a field‑ready CAT with added buckle teeth, stronger windlass and a writable strap for application time. Training changes make everyone carry and use a tourniquet, teaching self‑apply one‑handed in ~21s, shifting policy and exporting the kit and practices into civilian prehospital care.
