my new first-aid back pack

[jontte]

am I the first here??

sofar feels very comfy and good to carry it,
seems like nothing shakes and rattles ( at least when I walk ),
not too heavy,even with the IV-solutions.
had it with me when I took a walk in the woods with the dog
and he seems to take different paths that I would

 

[jimLE]

thats great to hear.and i hope that you got every thing with it,that you need to go with it?

 

[jontte]

still some tinkering,waiting for the post to bring some band-aids I ordered.
must do a trial run to see if it works running too.

I would like to put something like that together here.
At somepoint I would like to take an EMT class as I need to learn how to push meds, iv's, etc and airway

good,always great to see that we do something here.
been training alot now with iv's and different airway tubes and it's not easy,takes alot of practice,if those tubes ain't inserted right you will place air in stomach and the patient will eventually puke and inhale that stuff right in the lungs.

 

[jontte]

don't know if you all have the same system as I have here,but those iv fluids have an exp date,so pls check them too on a regular basis and if it's old-> out with it! you don't wanna cause an infection with old fluids.
I just did that;check-old-out-in with the new.

I am very mindful of expiration dates! I fear being poisoned by an expired drug.

I keep small blow out kits on all of our bags as well as a boo-boo kit. I do think that having a team / squad equipped pack is also a good idea. In the larger pack we keep extra meds, splints, spare NPAS etc etc etc.

last week was interesting in school,one whole week we made hand and foot plasters,by far the easiest was to use soft and hard fiberglass...and to remember where certain nervs go or you end up with a paralysed body part.

 

[jontte]

now all iv-fluids replaced with new,if you keep stuff like this always check the dates,now we have a possibility to replenish what we have, never use old fluids.

We keep F/A kits in our packs though I keep the blow-out kits outside our packs.

Does anyone know if there's a veterinary grade of lidocaine that can be gotten without a prescription? I have a good suture kit, and was a surgical tech in the military, so would like to be able to close a wound without causing more pain to myself or someone else. I really hope to never need this stuff, but like knowing I could in a pinch.

 

[Brent S]

My medical kit was just in a carry bag but has overflowed enough I can't close it anymore. I guess it's time to get it packed in a backpack for ease of a quick evac if ever needed.

I appreciate the effort anyways. We get scripts for roceffin, a heavy antiobiotic, that I mix with lidocaine and inject for my wife. She has a long term illness and is prone to serious infections. I'll see if I can save some of it in the future.

Tweezers are good thing to have in med pack. Some people dont think about that. Until your having to pick out shrapnal lol.

I just had to dig a little splinter out of my thumb that was 3/8" deep. Trust me, not just tweezers, but good tweezers helped. It's amazing that even after all that digging, it immediately felt better after it was out. (Or maybe that's because I quit digging !). Seriously, anyone with some medical training, or kids, should have a decent surgical kit. Amazon has some for around 30bucks.

 

[jimLE]

I always keep tweezers on me.among some other items.and yes they've come in handy a few time.ans so has the finger/toe nail clippers i keep me as well.i dont leave home with out.

 

[jontte]

we do sometimes things at the ER where you have to use tweezers,sometimes those pre-made packs have a plastic thingy,which locks and as some doc's prefeer the metal ones,I'll pick those plastic ones away....for later use.
