Trauma Kit 411
Because I'm a member of St. John Ambulance I've decided to start my own trauma kit. If I'm going to be using it, I might as well have my own so that I know where things are, I know its stocked and I can keep it on me at all times. A lot of people use the common trauma kits and you can't always guarantee that they are properly stocked.
I bought a bag from Pacific Safety (the A600 Comprehensive Trauma Kit) which is apparently one of the best bags out there and made sure it had room for a D size oxygen tank when I decide to put one in. I'm starting to get it pretty much stocked now, but there are a few things I need to get still.
- Oral and Nasal airways
- Paediatric Blood Pressure Cuff
- Oxygen Tank and Regulator
- Suction (Manual)
- Saline Bags (Great for Irrigation)
- Sting Kit
- Nasal Cannula
- Partial Non-Rebreather
So as you can tell I'm pretty much getting there. I find it funny through I already have an Adult and Child/Infant Bag Valve Mask without the oxygen tank or even airways! Yes, I know, shame on me for not having airways yet. For some reason I keep forgetting them. If anyone knows of some great things to keep in the trauma kit (aside from basics of course) let me know!
