The most complete guide to the use of family first aid kits
Unexpected situations in life are always so unexpected. In the unfortunate event of a fire or major accidental injury, it will take time for firefighters and ambulances to arrive, and every swing of the clock is a contest with death.
If you have a first-aid kit by your side, with a breathing mask and tourniquet in it, you can continue your life and help us get to the rescuers; you can usually handle minor injuries such as twisted feet, cut hands, scalds, and fever at home. Avoid going to the hospital to reduce the hassle of queuing and registration.
It goes without saying how important it is to develop the hfabit of stocking up emergency supplies. Of course, in addition to preparing an emergency kit, learning professional emergency knowledge is even more important.
How to wear a respirator? How to bandage the wound? How do fire blankets work? Let's take a look at the recommendations of China's national security design assessors, riot and terrorism experts, and travel security experts:
Emergency kit placement card: You can mark the location of the emergency kit to avoid being in a hurry and unable to find emergency items in the event of an emergency.
Emergency contact card: One side is emergency contact numbers, 110, 119, 120, and the other side is the registration of cardholder information, including name, blood type, date of birth, emergency contact number, these necessary information.
Tweezers: Used to pick up consumable items.
Electronic thermometer: put it under the armpit to measure, the measurement time is 5-10 minutes, you can take out the reading when you hear the sound of dripping, the fever temperature: above 37 ℃.
Accessories scissors: one end of the ellipse arc is attached to the patient's skin to cut clothes and dressings.
Iodophor cotton swabs: Be sure to do rolling disinfection and avoid smearing back and forth, which can easily cause secondary damage and infection to the wounded area.
Ice packs: Sprains, lifting bags, and cold compresses can be used for cold compresses. When using, first use external force to roll the outer packaging of the ice pack, and then mix and shake the liquid and the particles inside, so as to achieve the effect of rapid cooling. For sprains, use ice packs to reduce swelling, remember to apply cold compresses within 72 hours and hot compresses after 72 hours.
Regarding the most important bandaging operation, you can memorize the following bandaging method:
Spiral bandaging is suitable for bandaging the upper and lower limbs of equal thickness and larger and longer wounds. Such as upper arm, torso, etc.
1. Wear examination gloves and check the injury
2, wound cover dressing, compression to stop bleeding
3. Open the first aid bandage and wrap it around the limb twice to fix it
4. At the beginning of the third circle, when the bandage wraps around the limb, each circle presses 1/2-2/3 of the previous circle
5. After the wound is completely bandaged, fix it for two more circles, paste it or tie a knot to fix it.
6. Check peripheral blood circulation
Filtering self-rescue respirator: used in the event of a fire, it can avoid poisoning caused by inhalation of toxic fumes, carbon monoxide and other toxic gases. Remember to unplug the front and rear canisters when using it! Wearing it directly will suffocate! After putting it on, tighten the headbands on both sides.
Fire blanket: It must be used in the early stage of the fire. It can be directly covered on the fire source to extinguish the fire source; when the fire is large, it can also be directly wrapped around the body, which can greatly reduce the risk of being burned.
Multi-function flashlight: The main function is lighting, as well as SOS alarm function. It can also generate power by hand, and connect the data cable to charge electronic devices (such as mobile phone charging). The faster the hand crank, the higher the charging efficiency. Push the right push button to the top gear to perform the radio function, and press the search button to search for radio stations on high-end frequencies.
Multi-function whistle: can send out SOS distress signal: three short, three long and three short, Morse code. It can also be illuminated, and it also comes with a compass and temperature monitoring functions. There is also a convex lens inside, which can focus on combustibles for a long time and can start a fire, which is especially suitable for dealing with emergencies and natural disasters.
Important things must be emphasized once:
The first aid kit must be placed in a location that is known to all family members and is easily accessible, such as on the shoe cabinet, in the bedside table, and under the TV cabinet, so that it can be used immediately when needed.
