Here are a two of my trauma bags, the larger is about equal to the one on my Engine, including a jumbo D o2 tank and BLS airway adjunks and the smaller is all trauma bandages with a few MCI tags.

Home for mine; sometimes comes for a ride. (I have smaller subsets.) Weighs 12 lb.

Part of CERT training and intent - I plan to have the pre-hospital treatable injury franchise in my couple block neighborhood.

My hiking kits stay in there respective bags. I have started doubling up some smaller stuff so my GHB/day hike bag can stay ready to go. My event kit will stay in my trunk as I mostly have my car where ever I am.

As to why see my post with the pictures in page one.

My pics that I posted are of my smaller handheld kit that stays in my EDC. The larger adventure medical kit is in my BoB and weighs considerably more.
As a note, I've added to my EDC kit since the pic was taken, I've added things like extra gauze and self-adhesive wraps.

I am planning on making my home kit which is what the Blackhawk STOMP is for. That can also get thrown in the car during an INCH situation (house burning down, etc). I haven't started buying extra supplies for it yet. It should be here tomorrow (just ordered it last week) so that will light a fire under me to start stocking it.

My goal is to have all of my kits be somewhat redundant for small injuries/trauma but as the kits get bigger, they can handle more things. My medical training is limited so I don't carry anything I don't know how to use.
I plan on expanding my knowledge through further classes/education but that gets done as the opportunities present themselves.

My CERT class really opened my eyes to a lot. I learned a ton in the full day of medical training but mostly what I learned is that I don't know jack sh#$ about medical stuff.

I keep 1st aid supplies in my EDC, BOB, INCH & I keep two separate 1st aid kits for long term. I'm no doctor but I have had formal training on many things in my bags.

my guess would be a casualty info card like this


you marked down basic info, mechanism of injury, treatment, time and action for doctors.

M - mechanism of injury
I - injuries received
S - signs & symptoms
T - treatment already received

The report card follows the patient to the hospital so docs can treat appropriately.

Many EMS folks know about the cards, but only use them in multi or mass casualty incidents where they may not follow a patient to the hospital themselves.

What do you plan to do with these?

I don't object - I have some, too, but left over from nursing school where I needed them for labs. (Size 10 or 11 sterile gloves are uncommon; took forever to find big ones on line.)

It's just that field treatment usually involves dirty wounds, without a lot of capability to really clean them out, and 'clean' gloves are usually just as good.

(And I won't remember my lab instructor griping 'augh! you touched the paper! Sterility is compromised! New gloves!' )

A part of my BOB: http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00...?ie=UTF8&psc=1

No affiliate or $ benefit here. Just a great kit.

Take an EMT course or hook up with an ARMY medic or USMC corpsman (even better) to show you the ropes.

Not so big.

I can't get 8s on at all; 9s always break; I think that's a latex thing, because nitrile of the same size is already 'expanded' and doesn't rely on being stretchy. Latex 10s are OK, but they take near forever to put on properly. 11s - ah, like comfy shoes!

Depending on brand, I usually wear XL in nitrile clean gloves. A lot of Ls also work, but can be a bit tight, and sometimes tear going on.

Imagine my great joy at seeing the kits for Foleys ... OTOH, my Asian classmates often found those a bit too big. A couple surgeons I watched wore/wear 7s - there's some real benefit to having small, nimble hands when galumphing through a small incision.

I added a hemostat, because blleeding out from an artery doesn't sound fun, and I 'd rather try to sew it back together. Probably need another though...

I know how to do surgery and the nitrile steriles are much thicker and more tactile when doing suturing. If I want to explore a wound I rather not have bone or other things cut my glove/hand and I'd rather not introduce more infectious agents into the wound (its already dirty, but thus the antibiotics). That said, you don't need them, but I have them so why not.

The key is to not have anything in your kit that you don't know how to use, because it won't really be helpful. Also a word of caution, don't use Quik clot unless its really a life/death situation, as it can cause serious burns and can also send embolus (especially the powder version) ... it really is a last resort solution (Celox is actually better, and I will change to that when my quik-clot expires). That said I keep a pack and an israeli in my shooting bag too.

That's not the case with the current formula.

The burning is reduced but still present. The risk of Embolus is real and ever-present. Check your facts. Celox is less thermogenic, but can still cause clots. Even the gauze versions can propagate clots.

here is my home kit/kits, pretty much what everyone else has listed and then some. You can have all the kit in the world just make sure you get the training. Myself, US Army CLS, EMT-1, DMT (Diving Medical Tech) and TCCC. Work primarily as a DMT. And for all you EMT trained guys out there, if you want to learn some serious skill set, way beyond Paramedic, take a DMT course. Pre-req is EMT, you don't need to be a diver but it helps.

Quick Clot and Celox are Pre-hospital care, post SHTF, it will be useless. But you are correct Celox is a much better product

This thread said first aid, not shtf. Any GSW post shtf is a bad bad day.

As an 18 year trauma ICU nurse, I'd say a portable electrocauterizer (size of a long penlight) is glaringly lacking in these lists of otherwise extensive kits. Good way to deal with those pesky bloody oozers in your gashes, venous or arterial. Of course, there's the assessment, experience, and split second decisions in isolating the problems and dealing with it. Not always easy to do when the situation is live and in your face!

Good idea if you know how to use it

I carry one on my vest at work (law enforcement). I carry a tourniquet, quikclot advanced clotting spunge, quikclot, gauze, nazel pharengeal tube, 2 tampons and a pressure dressing.

Of course, there's the assessment, experience, and split second decisions in isolating the problems and dealing with it. Not always easy to do when the situation is live and in your face!
And what are the odds of a regular person able to buy one of these and receive the proper training to use one? Personally if I don't know how to do it, I ain't gonna do it.

The buying looks easy - http://www.orsupply.com/medical/cate...y-Supplies/487 - looks like under $100 would do it. I don't believe they're restricted.

But the training is another issue. Seems to be part of a surgical technician's training (e.g. https://www.trocaire.edu/my/registra...e-descriptions) but I don't see a lot.

I've never seen an ICU nurse use cautery, and I've done my time in many ICU's. That is beyond the scope of an ICU nurse, it is a surgical instrument. I would not recommend use by anyone not trained with its proper use. It is also inadequate for stopping large arterial bleeds.

Question? Which brand of butterfly bandage do you recommend?

Take the leap and assume all FA kits are not similarly purposed. Some are six-sigma lightweights for cuts and scrapes that require instant resupply. Other kits are meant to withstand more than one event. All so far are premised on quick evacuation to an equipped medical facility. None show the depth of supply needed to treat a village's worth of ailments over an extended period of time, nor should they do so here.
