FIRST AID KIT GEARED TO MAJOR TRAUMA

Sterile eye wash
Any long-term medications for family or pets (make sure they are current)
Large cold packs (disposable) - Kwik-Cold is the best brand I've used.
1 space blanket
Bandages - store in Zip Lock bags
2 4-inch wide roller bandages (Bulk non-sterile)
Not all roller bandages are conforming, or stretch( plain gauze won't adhere well)
J&J SOF, and the Kendall Conform are the best, both are sold at Med Choice
Can pour Betadine on the dressing before applying it (they do this in ER's)
2 4-inch wide Kerlix rolls (bulky roller bandages)
6 4X4 12 ply gauze dressings
1 Blood Stopper (a VERY multi-use telfa compress dressing)
1 multi-trauma dressing (10X30 heavy duty dressing)
Several packages of vasoline gauze (for sealing sucking chest wounds)
Adaptic dressings (fine mesh dressings for burns and abbrasions)
2 triangular bandages
Bandaids
Betadine
Hydrogen peroxide
Hibicleanse anticeptic soap
Safety pins
Pad and pen
Squirt bulbs (for irrigating wounds)
1 unit instant glucose
Air splints or 1 wire splint (just in case I can't find cardboard)
Large selection of antibiotics and pain killers (check expiration dates)

Pediatric cuff (sized BP cuff for kids and little old women)
Latex exam gloves (several pairs, disposable)
CPR rescue mask (a mask you place on a victim to perform rescue breathing)
Tape (I hardly ever use tape)
Steri Strips or butterfly closures
Large open wounds are only to be covered with a sterile dressing and left to heal/close by themselves. This way, drainage takes place as the dress- ing is replaced daily.

Book called "Emergency War Surgery" that outlines the steps to perform appendectomies, amputations, etc.
Backpack to carry it all in
1 set of 5 oral airways (see explanation below)
Airways are meant to be used primarily in conjunction with ventilation equipment, resue masks, bag valve masks etc. If used improperly, or with the wrong size, a patient's airway could be blocked. This especially can happen if they're not inserted using the correct technique.
1 oxygen euipment tubing (connect my mask to supplimental O2,VERY important)
Surgical scrub brushes (Med Choice has) packaged in betadine or hebicleanse
