What should be in the first aid set?
Injuries can get at any time at home or away from home - whether during an automatic accident, in the case of a natural disaster or as a result of other threats. If so, it is important to have a fully stocked first aid set. One set of first aid must always stay at home and the other set of first aid is ideal for the car. If it is too bulky or too heavy to open, it may be harmful if there is a significant injury. By being large and spacious, it is easy for supplies to be in a hurry.
The first aid set for the house should contain the following items:
• ibuprofen, acetaminophen and aspirin
• Cough suppression
• Antihistamines
• Decongestants
• Dropper for oral medicine if there are children in the family
• Possible prescription medications if stored in a different area than prescriptions are kept
• Several sizes of bandages
• Safety pins
• Elastic wraps
• gauze
• Adhesive tape
• scissors with sharpshoulder blades
• Alcoholic wipes
• Antibiotic ointment
• Antiseptic cleaner such as hydrogen peroxide
• Self-active cold packages
• tweezers
It is a good practice to maintain a list of items in the set. It is also important to have doses for each medicine, so this time will not be wasted by determining the dosage. The portable first aid set should also be spacious to find items quickly. In addition, it should also be very durable to withstand wear and tear from the car trunk.
The idea of a portable first aid set is that it will be with you whenever you are away from home. Whether it is used in the case of a fall, a sports injury, a natural disaster, and a neboteroristic threat, you will have everything you need at your fingertips - and you can be a mile from home. Portable first aid set should have the same items as the home set, but should also be obsHit the following items:
• prescription drugs (where prescription medicines are optional for home set is mandatory for a portable kit)
• Thermometer
• Latex or rubber gloves
• Lights and batteries
• an mouthpiece in case of a cPR
• Emergency numbers
Because both first aid sets have a medicine, they should be placed somewhere where small children cannot reach content. It is important that the content suits the needs of every family. If there are infants, toddlers and adults in the family, then the items should suit the needs of all three. For example, small bandages are good for small children, with larger adults.
