First Aid Suvival Kit Decisions

By Tammie Caldwell


Safety is always the most critical condition of everyday life, but even the best-laid plans have mishaps, and someone gets hurt. First Aid suvival kit decisions are pretty straight forward but making sure it covers the largest possibilities of injury are something to give serious thought. Let's look at a few examples of when on site conditions warrant the need for immediate attention.

Home is a place to relax and enjoy time with family and away from work. However, statistics indicates it is also where the greatest number of accidents occur. People clean out the gutters and fall off the ladders, decide to trim trees and end up breaking an arm as they land soundly on the ground. Even the kitchen is not safe from getting burned while cooking on the stove or roasting a ham in the oven.

Survival games are a great way to spend time with friends and family and also a perfect place for accidents to happen. Every injury from broken bones to skinned elbows are a possibility for medical attention. With a lack of fresh, clean water to tidy up a wound, it is a good idea to make sure your kit has vacuum sealed wipes with antiseptic already included. They are sterile and easy to use and dispose of after use.

The military knows how important it is to have medical attention available for the soldiers. However, not all injuries occur on the battlefield and need at least the minimum attention. Cleaning agents and wide bandaging come in handy for preventing septic conditions when a gaping wound needs closed without needle and thread.

Roadside emergencies often involve more than just a flat tire. These situations often result in scraped knuckles, cuts from metal and other injuries. Most people keep an emergency kit with traffic flares included, but these kits should also include the basics of emergency injuries and other medical needs. Do not forget that headaches also happen and some form of medication will ease the pain.

Corporations have lounges and break rooms where accommodations exist to tend the needs of an injured person. These areas also accommodate people with suspected heart attacks or strokes. The typical requirements for such an office environment include the standard band aids, smelling salts, disinfectants, and ointments.

It is not unusual to prepare for emergencies at wedding, or funerals. Mishaps occur anywhere people gather, and a bridal party or memorial service offers a situation for sprained ankles and skinned knees. Choose from the emergency kits to prepare for all occasions and make sure there is a list of instructions, and people to notify in case of emergency for each of the guests.

Band-aids, gauze, disinfectants and ointments are only a few of the items required in emergency situations, also included sufficient binding for splits and pressure bandages. When choosing the best ideas for any situation where time is crucial to the outcome of an accident, start by selecting a kit that covers the most situations with the least amount of bulk.
