Lots and lots of bandaids, including the giant 3"x5" size. One injury might require several changes if you are walking out the woods. And Band aids are light weight, weigh nothing. You want about 10 of the every size at least, except the giant ones where 5 will do.
A needle to remove splinters. Aspirin. Some antibiotic pads. http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00...=ATVPDKIKX0DER |

With the red block and arrows I was depicting more the area to which the tourniquet would be applied and the vital artery in that respective area.
I was going to write both the artery and vein of a respective area since I understood that a person could exsanguinate from a severed vein just like an artery but to minimize space I only stated the arteries as that is what has been highly emphasized from the hip pocket classes I have had. So to dove tail Doc, between veinous and arterial bleeding, is one worse than the other or are they equally bad?

I picked up a nifty little fingertip pulse oximeter. It displays heart rate and O2 saturation, which I suppose could be useful.

The pulse is handy - don't have to count and stare at your watch. BTW, if the dr/nurse seems to take a long time, it's usually because they're also counting your respirations after they have the pulse number. Folks tend to breathe faster if you tell them you're counting. I think there is also a pulse/ox thing that will count respirations somehow, but I recall it being around $300, more than I want to spend. And this site - http://www.rightdiagnosis.com/d/decr...tion/intro.htm - tells a bit of what you use the O2 saturation number for. 'Normal' would be 100% 'on room air'; usually you can watch it bounce around from about 95% to 100% during breathing. Someone with pneumonia might run below 92%, at which point the docs recommend hospitalization.

Im very particular about my first aid kit. I have numerous ones for vehicle, edc and other functions. I manufacture kits for a local training facility as well as for an out of state agency (pending) as well as a couple of resorts (pending).
I carry a Swat-t and an israeli 24/7 no matter what when or where. If you are on a tight budget I can be happy to suggest alternatives to some of the expensive items out there.. But even more important, purchase what you know how to use. I am sure some people say, I carry it in case someone else knows how to use it, but remember do you want some stranger trying to put a needle in your kids chest cause they say they are qualified..

The pulse ox is great for normal everyday stuff. I use it on grandma intermittently when feeling unwell. A quick check on rate and o2. Hands on to confirm rate and importantly feeling strength and regularity of circulation. 95% is generally considered the line for good or not. And the waves is capnography. Generally you want to see shark fins. For anyone that dives or hikes..real handy due to pressure changes and lung/pulmonary physiology. Nicer units in field are great for tension pneumothorax or as mentioned illness. More tools of deduction

I know this thread is kinda old but since folks are still responding I'll throw in my two cents. I run virtually everything that most BLS EMTs run other than a defibrillator and o2 in my backpack (from glucose gel to pediatric OPAs) but my go-to trauma kit for prepping/bugout/active shooter/car accident/etc that I carry e v e r y w h e r e is composed as follows:
On the exterior: Trauma Shears, two CAT tourniquets, two RATS tourniquets and a sharpie. On the interior: Adult and Teen/Middle Schooler OPAs, 2x Adult NPAs, 2x Israeli compression bandages, roughly 200 4x4 guazes (unsanitized), 800 yards of roll gauze (sanitized), 2x 50g QuikKlot bandages, Hyphin Chest Seal (set of 2 for entry and exit wounds), SAM Splint, and Mylar blanket to treat for shock. Keep it simple for your trauma kit/blowout bag, the last thing you want is to be fumbling with 300 bandaids and neosporin while you have excessive bleeding. Keep the non-essentials in a backback or a full med-kit in your vehicle, but I definitely recommend keeping a trauma kit close at hand at all times. - Riley, NREMT |

You sure have a lot of stuff in that M9. Mine doesn't have half that, and it is nearly bursting at the seams. I guess I need to reorganize.

Can someone please recommend a complete range first aid kit. My google-foo seems to be off today. The main purpose will be to keep with my range bag. I should update my car kit at the same time. Been a long time since I went over it.

I’m curious if anybody has any updates or suggestions? I’m looking for a small kit to keep in my laptop bag that goes to and from work with me. I’m less worried about price and more interested in a link to a good kit that has just the essentials for a possible earthquake first aid kit. Thanks.

Kinda depends on WHICH kit you're referring to.
IFAK on my chest rig is basically gunshot would treatment - vent seals, heavy gauze, Celox, and two CaT-7's on either side. I have some heavy duty G-7 med kist in my bugout duffels - I can basically do minor surgery with these! Then there's the everyday boo-boo kits. Got those in ANOTHER duffel, along with other, more 'everyday' sorts of supplies. You CAN do-it-all with ONE kit... if you LIKE toting around a portable ER. Best to break 'em down into particular needs, and store 'em accordingly.

What do you guys think about this as a one and done for the car that goes fishing and shooting, and is a daily driver?
https://www.amazon.com/dp/B07PH21926..._it&th=1&psc=1 Reading through the contents, none of it looks like I would have any issues with, but it seems a bit much. I can only think of adding more band-aids of different sizes. I was also considering getting the smaller 300 one that doesn't have the fracture and sprains items, which I don't think is necessary as that's more for deep hiking and camping in the wilderness where you're alone. The 200 seems a bit weak overall. My other thought was to get the: https://www.amazon.com/dp/B002K66484...v_ov_lig_dp_it And the trauma pak and israeli bandage in the "Frequently bought together" section, then call it a day. I just don't like that I can't carry them all together in one first aid container. |

I mostly carry only Instant Cold Packs and ankle brace, and some DEET or Euc bug juice, sometimes sunscreen and sometimes a 12oz soda bottle of whiskey.
My theory is about the only thing I'm really going to want to treat when actually out on a hike is a sprained ankle because putting ICE (Immobilize, Cold, Elevation) is what stops the internal bleeding and its the IB that causes swelling and if you treat it on the spot it will heal much much faster. I've been out for a bit THEN the bugs attack (fortunately was on a bike on fairly flat ground so able to escape, but it was scary) so never try to be without bug juice. I also try to always carry a cell phone power bank and cord. I guess even better would be a whole spare cell phone in tough case, charged up but turned off. I guess its less of an issue now but used to be you'd be out of cell range and your phone would drain its batt trying to make a connection. |
