Important TIPS on applying the EED
1. Take shoes off. No need to remove pants.
2. If there is a bleeding leg injury, apply on the injured leg first. The EED will serve as TOURNIQUET if rolled up higher than the injury.
3. If there is a fracture and instability of the leg, apply AXIAL TRACTION. This means pull the foot distally while rolling the EED up. This requires an assistant.
