EMT Trauma Kits Are Vital In Life And Death Situations

By Michael Obrien


If you are an emergency medical technician or if you are a student nurse or in a fire fighting training course, chances are you will be looking at getting your own medical kit to do the job. Whichever you are doing, it is important that you have the right EMT trauma kits at your disposal.

Trauma kits usually come standard with the essentials in them. If you are the first person to get to an emergency situation, you will know just how important it is that you have as much in your bag as possible. When arriving at an accident scene, as a trainee, you will be able to do some of the basic treatments before the paramedics arrive.

Many times it is the medical attention that is given within the first 60 minutes which plays an important role in saving a life. It is commonly called the "golden hour". As a trainee, you should be able to carry out some important work on any accident or emergency victims that you may come across.

If you, as a trainee, arrive at an emergency scene, you are advised to carry out some form of medical treatment. You would be expected to stop any form of bleeding with the contents of your medical kit. This is why it is a good idea to have as many of the essential items needed for offering any kind of help.

Usually, if as a trainee, when you get to an accident or emergency scene, you are expected to carry out certain procedures. You will be expected to stop bleeding to gaping wounds by applying pressure. Be sure to put on gloves before you do work on any patient.

Before giving any medical attention, you should put on your gloves. This is vital in making sure that there is no infection carried across from either you or the patient. Use your gloves whenever you carry out any kind of emergency service. Make sure that when you are finished with them that they are properly disposed of.

Medical kits that are carried in ambulances are far better equipped with more items than just the basic kit. They will have equipment to treat serious injuries, as well as the necessary items to perform basic procedures such as intubations. They will also have the ability to stop profuse bleeding.

In situations such as the late Boston bombings, having EMT trauma kits that are equipped with the latest state of the art equipment cannot go unnoticed. These bags carry extensive equipment which definitely goes a long way in saving lives. The main thing is to keep them properly equipped at all times. They should be replenished once there has been an emergency situation of any kind.
