Here's the thing: the idea of quick clot is not the it can be used INSTEAD of applying pressure to a wound. The idea is that quick clot COMBINED with pressure will result in a wound that clots faster and has less overall blood loss, decreasing the risk of hypovolemia before surgery. Dousing an arterial bleed with quick clot and hoping all will be well is just sheer incompetence on the part of the medic. Found this old article from a google search about quick clot…

Not as active as being in the battlefield, always preform BLS before ALS so even if quick-clot were applied, continue with other ways of stopping the bleed as well. it couldn't hurt. youtube quick-clot, stating how to use quick clot on a pig with a cut femoral artery… pretty awesome to watch, and very effective in a stable environment.
