What do Emergency chest seals do? 

A chest seal is needed when a patient has penetrating chest trauma from neck to navel, on the front, side or back of the chest. The chest seal doesn't control bleeding inside the chest cavity. Instead, the chest seal prevents air from entering the chest cavity.

CHEST SEAL INDICATIONS

A chest seal is indicated when a patient has penetrating chest trauma from neck to navel, on the front, side or back of the chest. The chest seal doesn’t control bleeding inside the chest cavity. Instead, the chest seal prevents air from entering the chest cavity. Air inside the chest cavity can make it difficult to impossible for the patient to breathe.

Chest seal application

  1. CHEST SEAL APPLICATION

    The chest seal application steps, as demonstrated in the two videos below, are straightforward.

    1. Bare the patient’s chest back or side where the entry wound is 
    2. Wipe away blood and other fluids to identify the wound location
    3. Apply the chest seal, following manufacturer directions, over the wound
    4. Assess the opposite side of the patient’s chest, as well as the sides of the chest, for an exit wound
    5. If there is an exit wound, apply another chest seal
    6. Monitor the patient’s breathing

    After applying a chest seal, look for and treat other life threats, as you prepare for EMS to arrive.
