I'll echo that for a number of reasons I don't see this being useful in the prehospital/TCCC/field setting.
It's innovative and may prove useful within an OR. However, I think sometimes there is a rush to accept new techniques because they have an Israeli imprimatur. We must think critically and determine whether any new technique or device is necessary, safe, beneficial and most importantly more effective than currently available methods. It may be that a technique or device works well in one setting but is not appropriate in another.
It's also true that we sometimes adopt new treatments that, had they been properly researched and investigated, never would have become part of our medical armamentarium. Thus, I caution restraint.
