Hello, I am a student interested in the EMS field; I don't have any EMT/ EMS certifications but I do have several entry level certifications such as life-guarding, professional rescuer CPR, emergency O2 ect.
I recently acquired a trauma kit that was "fully stocked," with the following items:
Tools/ stock gear:
1 bandage scissors
1 Kelly forceps
x2 Mylar rescue blanket
1 CPR shield
1 pen light
1 Emergency airway kit (assorted sizes)
1 wire splint (I added a SAM splint to replace this)
1 cold compress
1 Bite stick
1 instant glucose (diabetic emergencies)
1 burn dressing 2" X 2"
Burn dressing 4" x"4
Bandages: '
Sterile:
16 4" x 4" gauze
2 gauze roll 2"
2 gauze roll 3"
2 gauze roll 6"
(I added extra sterile dressings too)
Other dressings:
2 bag assorted flex bandages
4 triangular bandages 40"x40"
4 oval eye pad
6 surgipad dressing 5" x 9"
4 bee sing pads
2 non stick cloth tape 1" x 10 Yds.
ABD pads
Other: Ammonia inhalant
10 alcohol prep pads
10 povodinne Iodine prep pads
assorted band aids
sterile vinyl gloves (I think they're sterile, I probably won't use them because I prefer nitrite gloves)
I added the following:
extra rolled gauze and medical tape
BP cuff and stethoscope ( I taught myself how to measure BP)
Black diamond spot headlamp and spare batteries
Nitrate gloves (4 pair plus a whole box in my trunk)
adult and infant one way resuscitation masks (I have two adult masks total in my kit; the spare is for another rescuer)
Assorted ace bandages
1 sam splint (I want to buy 1-2 more of these)
hydrogen peroxide spray
finger splints
1 litire of water
cotton balls
extra cold compress
Sterile closure strips
There are some other items but that is most of what I have. I know that you can never get a "perfect," first aid kit but I would like some suggestions for what else I should add. I want a trauma kit that's focused on injuries that I might encounter while driving or just "everyday," type things as well as other things that would be good to have and maybe some major trauma that I *might* encounter I would also like some suggestions on the best way to organize everything (like baggies, rubber bands?) and other suggestions related to trauma/ emergency kits. Thanks in advance! I would love your insights!
