I mean JPP played with 1.5 hands and then there’s the guy from UCF that only has one. 

Are you aware of the difference between an arm and a hand?

Compartment syndrome and crush injury toxicity isn’t a concern until 60>mins into entrapment. The arm itself isn’t large enough to warrant those concerns anyways IMO. I’m guessing freeing his arm was going to take substantial time they felt they didn’t have given the multitude of injuries he probably suffered, and the decision to amputate was made not due to crush injury but due to possible/suspected internal injuries and subsequent massive hemorrhage and/or hemodynamic instability.

Not even close lol. But I have been a part of one field amputation and studied many others.

What do they give as anesthesia if anything?

Nerves don’t regenerate. If they were able to reattach the limb and restore circulation in such a time frame that necrosis hadn’t set in then his arm would simply hang at his side. Think Sam Elliott in Tombstone.

 

 

Wrong

Or all Left.  Depending on what arm was amputated.

Right arm looked fine in this video (not graphic) of him wheeled from the ambulance at the hospital.  His chick seemed to have survived the crash ok, no rude amputations.

F-250 on its roof, arm pinned under it.  Also a Maserati involved.  May or may not have been doing 185.

There have been reattachments of severed limbs, and the aforementioned John Bobbit went on do some pornos after having his wiener put back after hours of laying in a grassy field.

There’s always an exception, nothing is 100% except for death and taxes. But is that the outlier or are severed limbs reattached at even 1/3 the rate that they’re not? And we’re not talking appendages here, I’m talking an entire limb.

Maybe u should stop talking here and let some MD’s who know, you know, medicine, chime in.

In my case we had RSI’d the patient.  

 

 

Are we supposed to know what that means? I don't know what the (*^& that means.

Peripheral nerves regenerate.  Fin. 

Certainly true in my case, when I cut off the tip of my left thumb with a mandoline (not recommended). Regained the feeling in my thumb a few months later. But could it be a matter of degree? Since arm is much more involved and enables such a broad, complex combination of fine and gross motor skills, how much could a person expect to get back, assuming a best case scenario of tissue damage, time and preservation of the limb while severed?

Rapid sequence induction (intubation)  (give him some drugs to chemically paralyze and sedate and or wipe-out his short term memory) so you can do bad things to him without him fighting or remembering what happened.......its great...that is if your the paramedic doing it

Ok sport. When you find one let us know.

 

 

I'm pretty sure Fat Bastard is a surgeon (cardiac?) or something along those lines...so good luck

If he’s a cardiac surgeon then the only thing he would know about arms is that one of them will hurt if you’re having a heart attack

Yes because the best surgeons generally have no understanding of anatomy and physiology past their given area of practice.
