Building YOUR First Aid Kit
Whether you are traveling
alone, taking part in an expedition, or responding as a
member of a search & rescue (SAR) team, you will need
a first aid kit. What you should take and how you should
package it depends on many things. Here are a few basic
concepts that you will need to know in order to begin building
your kit. Click on linked items for detailed description
and cost. For best viewing open your browser window to its
fullest.
There is no generic first aid kit. The type activity
or expedition defines the amount of weight and space available
for your kit (e.g.: a sailboat can usually carry more than
a raft and a raft can carry more than a climber etc.). The
longer you are from "help" generally the bigger
your first aid kit will be; consider resupply(s). The level
of training of the medical "officer" will limit
how much invasive equipment or Rx drugs you can carry. |
|
|


|
|
|
|
| |
|
Examine the
medical history of each expedition or team member; you may
need to add special equipment or drugs to your kit. Pay
attention to any allergies. If your experience in wilderness medicine is limited,
look over our publications and consider carrying the Wilderness Medicine Handbook.
You should also consider using our Weatherproof Patient SOAP Notes or our Reusable
Patient SOAP Notes to thoroughly document your assessment
and treatment.
First aid kits used by expeditions
are conceptually very different from those used by rescue
teams. Expeditions hope that they will NOT use their first
aid kits and adhere to the principles of improvisation:
they limit specialized items, focus on multipurpose equipment,
and adapt expedition gear for medical uses (splints or litters).
As your ability to improvise increases, the size of your
expedition first aid kit decreases. Rescue teams know they
WILL use their equipment and often carry specialized gear
with them rather than scavenging their personal gear for
improvisation.
Packaging is extremely important.
Well thought out organized packaging protects valuable and
irreplaceable equipment. It permits fast and easy access
to emergency gear without "vomiting" kit contents
everywhere. Critical concepts to organization and packaging
are:
- Use different colored compartments or
packs. DO NOT use plastic bags as pack or compartment
substitutes.
- Clearly label each compartment or pack:
In many expeditions each expedition member carries their
own personal care kit (blisters, sun screen, OTC meds,
personal Rx meds, minor cuts & scrapes, etc.) leaving
the expedition first aid kit for emergencies and minor
trauma (more serious wounds and unstable injuries). This
helps ensure that the expedition first aid kit is complete
when it is needed.
- Laminate a contents list for each pack
and indicate the intended use for each item.
- Seal soft goods in plastic to protect
them from moisture. Use individual mini zip-locks or "Seal-a-Meal"
freezer type packages.
- Tubes break. Repackage ointments into
one and two ounce wide mouth (or larger depending on group
size) Nalgene bottles.
- Liquids leak. Package liquids in one and
two ounce narrow mouth (or larger depending on group size)
Nalgene bottles.
- Use a weatherproof drug log for ALL medications
so that you know who is using them and why.
- Train your expedition or team members
to use your kit. Until they are trained only you know
why you assembled the kit as you did. Without specific
training most people will not know how to use the equipment
you have so thoughtfully assembled. Restrict access to
compartments or packs that members are not trained to
use.

Possible
Problems & Solutions
An effective first aid kit is built from a comprehensive
possible problem list. Divide your list into Basic Life
Support or Trauma, Environmental, and Medical problems.
Choose the problems that you will likely encounter (rule
out zebras) and prioritize them. Once you are satisfied
with your possible problem list, compile a list of first
aid supplies needed to treat them; carry more of the stuff
that you WILL need. A basic check list for many possible
problems and first aid supplies follows; use it as a guide.

WMTC
designed Packs
All our packs are made from
cordura and other top quality materials; all seams are rolled
or taped. All our packs have undergone many years of design,
rigorous testing, and redesign for function and durability.
They are made exclusively for us by Misty Mountain Manufacturing in Seattle, WA. You will be pleased with their look, construction, and durability; they will last for years and years.
Our modular system of packs
and velcro tech-fabric let's you to decide how you want to
organize your first aid kit. Our system permits color coding,
rapid access, and protects gear and soft goods that are not
currently in use from damage while other parts of the kit
are being used. For a minimal fee the Wilderness Medicine
Training Center will assist you in designing a first aid kit
for your organization or expedition. A description
of each individual pack follows.

the BLS
Pack
BLS stands for Basic Life Support. The BLS Pack is designed to hold all the equipment that you need NOW. Combined with the blue Medical Pack and inside the Backpack you have almost instant access to the stuff you need when faced with immediate trauma. Open the Backpack, grab the BLS Pack, and GO! The
outside of our red BLS Pack (144 cubic inches) has a single
clear vinyl slash pocket that allows quick access to a pair
of trauma scissors. The main body of the pack unzips on three
sides to completely expose a series of pockets on one side
and high-tech velcro fabric on the other. You can choose from
two different sizes of elastic loops that velcro onto the
velcro tech-fabric to customize the interior of the pack.
For those going "very light" the BLS Pack can
be used solo. The pack comes with three velcro strips (two
4 loop and one 3 loop).

the Medical
Pack
The
outside of our red or blue Medical Pack (220 cubic inches)
has a zippered clear vinyl pocket on one side and a zippered
bellows pocket on the other. Inside both sides are lined with
high-tech velcro fabric; use elastic loop velcro strips and pockets to
organize drugs, herbs, ointments, and soft goods. Combine it with the BLS Pack for larger expeditions or use it by itself
for solo trips or small/short expeditions. River Runners take
note: our medical pack fits snugly into a standard ammo can
with enough room left over for sunscreen or a camera. The
pack comes with three velcro strips (two 4 loop and one 3 loop
strips), a mesh pocket, and a cordura pocket.

First
Aid Supplies
After much thought, and a lot of requests from our students,
we decided to offer selected first aid supplies. We sell ONLY
what we are willing to (and do) carry ourselves; Some of the
items are difficult to find elsewhere. All the first aid supplies
listed below are the best combination of quality and value
available; they are priced competitively.
We do NOT sell over-the-counter medications (OTC) that are
easily available at your local drug store. Nor do we sell
prescription drugs or herbs.

Chloroprene Gloves
Trauma gloves are heavier than exam gloves and designed for
use in difficult conditions. Trauma gloves are the gloves
you should use when responding to a scene. Lighter weight
exam gloves are useful for wound cleaning in a more controlled
setting. We suggest packing your gloves in recycled
film canisters to prevent UV deterioration. We sell only synthetic
gloves made from chloroprene. Chloroprene is both stronger
and lighter than latex and is unaffected by heat or cold. Four pair of gloves are included in each order.

Pocket
Masks & Face Shields
Pocket
face masks offer more protection than face shields at the
expense of size and weight. Our pocket masks are made from
soft plastic and come with a hard plastic case. Our face shields
come in a sealed heavy plastic envelope.

Syringes
Often
hard to find, we offer three types of syringes. For multiple
uses choose our 60 cc long-tipped suction syringe and flexible 3 inch
extension tube. Use it for with the tip for suction and without the tip for irrigating wounds, eyes,
or ears...and for enemas. The 60 cc short-tipped syringe is used exclusively for suction. The smaller 30 cc syringe is
designed for irrigating wounds, eyes, and ears; it is not a suction syringe.

Supplies
While
a Leatherman or Swiss Army Knife goes a long way towards improvising
first aid tools (especially the scissors) scalpels and mosquito
forceps can be very useful. While inexpensive these steel
tools offer excellent quality and pack easily into the zippered
vinyl pocket on our Medical Pack.

PI
Solution (10% povidone-iodine)
When
diluted to less than 1% povidone-iodine is widely accepted
as a excellent final pressure flush for high-risk wounds or
wound packing. It can also be used to purify water for drinking;
use 4-6 drops per liter and wait 30 minutes. Filter dirty
water before treating. Wait one hour if the water is cold.
We repackage a 10% PI solution into one, two, or four ounce
narrow mouth nalgene containers.

SAM
Splint
SAM
Splints are made from padded aircraft aluminum; they are the
lightest and most versatile splint on the market. Combined
with a cloth spiral strip cut from a T-shirt or sweat shirt
(or a few rolls of Coban) they make an excellent "cast"
for fingers, toes, wrists, forearms, ankles, and knees. SAM
Splints can also be molded into an effective cervical collar.
They are cut easily with a pair of trauma scissors.

Thermometers
Useful
for taking core temperatures under extreme environmental conditions
or for assessing some medical problems we offer two types
of thermometers; each comes with its own case. A digital thermometer
for hot or warm climates and a special glass mercury hypothermia
thermometer for cold climates (86-100 degrees F).

Soft
Goods
Some
soft supplies are helpful: elastic wraps for pressure bandages,
roller gauze for dressings, cloth tape for dressings, bandages,
and splints, and second skin for blisters. Coban can be used
with a SAM Splint for improvising a "cast" without
cutting a shirt; it cannot be reused. One to two rolls of
Coban are needed for an effective splint. Coban also doubles
as an effective pressure bandage and short pieces may be used
to hold dressings in place. We also sell Tegaderm, a micro
thin film dressing that provides a clear protective dressing
for clean lacerations as it promotes healing. The dressing
is self-adhesive, waterproof, and invaluable for those traveling
in wet environments.
We do not sell bandaids, gauze
pads, or trauma dressings. Gauze squares can be made from roller gauze
and bandaids can be improvised with gauze and tape. Trauma
dressings can be improvised and cheaply purchased by using
maxi-pads, bladder control pads, or disposable diapers.

Space
Blanket & Bag
Developed
years ago from space technology, rescue (or space) blankets
and bags are made from reflective lightweight mylar plastic.
Both the blanket and bag come pre-folded. They are designed
to reflect and contain body heat and are perfect for the inner
vapor-barrier of a hypothermia package. Both are radar reflective
and remain flexible to - 40 F. Because it is completely sealed,
the bag offers more protection than the blanket. The blanket
measures 56 x 84 inches. The bag is 36 x 84 inches.

Blister Prevention & Treatment Products
Friction Blisters are the bane
of backcountry travelers everywhere. Most can be prevented
with good footwear, two socks, and foot hygiene. Additional
protection can also come from painting blister prone areas
and "hot spots" before they blister with Tincture
of Benzoin and cover with a porus cloth tape. Tincture of
Benzoin is an alcohol based plant product that helps tape
adhere at the same time it toughens and protects your skin.
We repackage Tincture of Benzoin in one, two, and four ounce
narrow mouth round Nalgene bottles.
If you already have a blister
and want to continue hiking: remove the cover and clean thoroughly.
Then apply Second Skin over the wound and under the bandage
for protection and pain relief. There are two 3 inch by 6.5
inch sheets per package.
ENGO, using ShearBan technology, is the ultimate in
blister prevention and treatment. ENGO is made from teflon
and reduces 80% of the shear forces that cause friction blisters.
We've field tested it for the past two years and found it
to be amazing. If you have chronic problems with blisters,
you need ENGO. It has a self-adhesive backing and may
be applied to directly to your boot or to the
inside of your outer sock. To apply to a sock: turn the sock
inside out and place on the opposite foot, stick a ENGO
patch to the injured area, turn the sock right side out and
place on the injured foot over the liner sock. It will remain
in place for weeks; even through gentle washing! Simply peel
off to remove. ENGO is available in two 4 x 6 inch sheets per package

WHO
Oral Rehydration Solution
Electrolyte loss, especially
sodium, is responsible for a general feeling of sickness (and
occasionally death) as your body acclimatizes to a new heat
challenge. If you have a healthy circulatory system 80% of
your acclimatization will take place during the first week
in a hot environment. While unacclimatized you can loose 30-50
times your normal amount of sodium (table salt). You can avoid
becoming sick during the acclimatization period by increasing
your sodium intake through dietary sodium (table salt &
sugar/digestible starch) every few hours or by using a balanced
electrolyte replacement drink high in sodium. The World Health
Organization (WHO) makes the most effective Oral Rehydration
Solution (ORS). Mix each packet with one liter of water.

Dental Repair Products
Broken
teeth, lost fillings, loose crowns, etc. can be a problem
in the field. Both cavit and DenTemp are no mix dental putties
that makes field repairs fast and easy. Both will last for
days, you can chew on them, and they are easy to remove. Take
a small amount of the putty, roll it into a ball, place it
on the tooth and gently bite down; avoid chewing for fifteen
minutes. Cavit can be used separately or with Oil of Clove
(eugenol) to relieve pain. DenTemp contains Oil of Clove (eugenol).
Oil of Clove relieves pain associated with all dental problems. Cavit comes in a seven gram tube, DenTemp
in a 2 gram plastic tub, and Oil of Clove in a 1/8 ounce bottle.

Poison
Ivy, Oak, or Sumac
If
you are allergic to any of these plants you should carry Technu's
Oak & Ivy Cleanser. Technu's Oak & Ivy Cleanser is
a soap specially designed to break down the resins that bind
poison ivy, oak, or sumac to your skin. The resins remain
active for long periods of time and cannot be removed with
normal soap and water after 30 minutes. Since poison ivy,
oak, and sumac are contact allergens, you can often prevent
a skin reaction by washing your body and clothes as soon as
possible after contact with the plant. With Oak & Ivy
Cleanser you can remove ALL of the resins by washing within
four hours. Consider buying a 32 ounce container and repackaging the cleanser
in a leakproof nalgene containers for field
use. Once you have the rash, Technu Extreme gel immediately
relieves the itch, drys blisters and speeds healing.

the
Wilderness Medicine Handbook
The
Wilderness Medicine Handbook is a full color edited version
of the Art and Technique of Wilderness Medicine small enough
to carry in your back pocket or life jacket. The 4.25 x 5.5
x 1/4 inch handbook is printed on waterproof/tearproof paper
and is almost indestructible. A plastic coil binding permits
the handbook to remain open to the selected page. Similar
to its parent text, problems are broken down according to
their mechanism of injury (MOI): trauma, environmental, or
medical with decision making indexes preceding each major
section. Treatments are highlighted for fast identification.
While the handbook briefly explains each problem, it does
not delve deeply into general anatomy & physiology, pathophysiology,
or basic life support skills; users are expected to have a
working knowledge of wilderness medicine. Not merely another
book, the Wilderness Medicine Handbook is a mandatory tool
for all guides, trip leaders, and backcountry users. It should
be part of every wilderness first aid kit. E-mail the WMTC office for bulk order pricing.

Patient
SOAP Notes
SOAP
is a medical acronym used to remember and organize patient
notes; it stands for Subjective, Objective, Assessment,
and Plan. Accurate patient field
notes help focus the rescuer and increase patient care both
in the field and once the patient reaches definitive care.
Patient notes are admissable in a court of law and verify
your field assessment and treatment. They may offer increased
legal protection to both the rescuers and their organizations.
Our weatherproof
Patient SOAP Notes are printed on 8.5 x 14
Rite-in-the-Rain paper. These are the same SOAP notes used in our medical courses. For easy use and storage in your first aid pack they come folded in thirds. Use a waterproof pen or soft leaded
pencil to write in the rain or snow. Ten SOAP notes per order.
Our 8.5 x 14 SOAP Note Tablet contains 25 paper SOAP Notes. This is the same tablet that is sold with our Case Studies in Wilderness Medicine workbook.
