What?
A first aid kit is a box or container containing essential medical equipment such as antiseptic products, bandages, ointments and more. Depending on their contents they can come in various sizes, and the items they contain may vary depending on the setting.
Why?
First aid kits are important because they allow us to respond to emergencies immediately. They allow you to quickly tend to injuries such as cuts, scrapes, insect bites, burns and fractures to prevent the condition from worsening by providing instantaneous care and relief. In some situations, first aid kits can even help save lives.
How?
To respond in an emergency, we must know what is in a first aid kit and how to use it. Here is a brief overview of the essential contents of a kit, what they are, and how to use them:
Hand Sanitizer:Used to avoid the transmission of bacteria and viruses.
Apply before and after putting on gloves
Latex Free Gloves:Protect the first aider from infection and cross-contamination
Sterile Alcohol Pads:Protect the body from potentially harmful germs
Disinfect minor injuries like cuts
Antibiotic Ointment:Applied on top of the skin to kill bacteria
To prevent skin infections and make the healing process faster
Clean the area before applying
Sting Relief:Provides relief from the pain, itching and discomfort that result from bug bites and stings
Adhesive Bandages & Gauze:Absorb blood, compress, help prevent infection, and limit movement in the wound area
Gauze is thin and made of cotton, and it requires an adhesive to keep it in place
Q-tips:Used to apply ointment or clean areas to prepare for treatment
Tweezers:To pull out splinters or insect stingers
To pick up unclean materials such as bloody bandages
Pain Reliever:Over-the-counter medicines to relieve pain
Acetaminophen (Tylenol) is not anti-inflammatory and can temporarily reduce fever or relieve aches and pains
Ibuprofen (Advil & Motrin) are anti-inflammatory, last longer, and can reduce fever, pain, and swelling
Make sure to read and follow dosage recommendations; do not use until you understand the instructions
