[QUOTE="Pete E, post: 557412, member: 18110"] Funny we were taught to use brown squares for adults especially on the legs, and green for smaller/slightly built bodied maybe teenagers. Children were the main concern and if memory serves me we had either 50mm or 70mm bandages for them and you really had to watch they weren't on too tight.. This was medic training in preparation for a deployment to Kenya many years ago, so recommendations may well have changed and/or my memory faded a bit... The thing that still sticks out was the number of different types of snakes they had, and that many required different first aid treatments depending on the type of venom and its effects..not sure how practical the approach would have been in real life especially after just a day's add on training...luckily it's not something I ever had to deal with...
