MEDICAL EMERGENCY FIELD MANAGEMENT KIT SIZE 6x9 WEIGHT Less than ½ pound (7.25 oz)

A minimum kit and pharmacy equipped to deal with wilderness medical emergencies: asthma, allergy / severe allergic reaction, diabetic with hypoglycemia (low blood sugar), not breathing, and chest pain. This kit augments a Level I / Level II First-Aid Kit. This kit is not meant to be the all-in-one answer recognizing that capabilities and expectations change depending upon prevailing conditions and the situation at hand. However, in a remote setting, this kit will provide some very welcome options.

If you are the medical sheep dog in your group, you know, the guy who always seems to be the one answering the call for medical assistance or kneeling at the side of an injured companion, then you likely already have an interest in both the gear and training necessary for your role. Some sources for training include American Red Cross, First Responder, EMT, and wilderness medical training courses.

Benadryl causes drowsiness. Can we substitute with zyrtec, claritin, or allegra?

[USNERDOC]

@deredatcelltech - all antihistamines cause drowsiness. Diphenhydramine (Benadryl) is the representative medication for the class and the most commonly used. You of course can use whatever best suits your needs and situation. I am only describing my personal practice.

[mightywombat]

Don't you usually need a prescription for an Albuterol inhaler or Epi-Pen? How would someone who doesn't normally medically require those drugs get them?

[USNERDOC]

@mightywombat - I recommend you discuss this with your doctor from the perspective of an expeditionary kit. Not all doctors will be willing to do this. Obviously if you have no need for an expeditionary kit and plans to be in a remote location your doctor will rightly so be reluctant. Hope that helps!

where do you get the miliar zip lock bag,im going to this thin called enchampmet next year for civil air patrol,(USAF auxillary)its kinda like a bootcamp but a little bit more softer on ya,and the say to bring a first aid kit and i want to start getting stuff ready,might as well have nothing else to do sense its summer(sorry for all the mistakes in grammer but i dont feel like using the backspace button)

[USNERDOC]

@armymedic98 - REI sells them and you can also order online from the manufacturer - LokSak

[armymedic98]

Great video. Nice kit.

I'm a Paramedic and RN (25 yrs worth) I realize that this isn't meant to be a complete "ER in a bag" but I do see some options that could better while being even lighter wt.

EPI pen- some may want a smaller, MUCH cheaper & lighter option- a syringe and EPI ampule. (easy shot) Glucose- GEL is easier to swallow & can be given rectally if unconscious (very likely!) -or sterile gel & IV some experienced people... Just ideas for those that like smaller, cheaper, lighter...

[macdonaldmalcolm]

Awesome video, very organized and laid out for anyone to be able to use. A good alternative to the glucose tablets is icing tubes using for baking. Just squirt and smear the icing in the upper gum of the person and the sugar in the icing goes to work. You don't have to worry about them choking on any tablets.

Good video, great emergency kit. But I think you should specify certain things, like the inhaler,epipen, and especially the Nasopharyngeal can not and should not be given unless you have the certification to practice medicine. You don't want to try to save someones life and end up getting sued for millions for practicing medical procedures without proper training. And you should always, no matter what (if the person is conscious) ask permission to help and work on the person before doing so.
