Alyaa Gad - First Aid Box
- 5 years ago
A first aid kit should be available everywhere we go. In the home, in our car, when we go on holiday… We should be fully aware of its content and replace the missing items on regular basis. In this video I’ll explain more about the contents of a first aid kit.
You can buy a complete kit or you can make a plastic box and place in it the contents that I am going to mention now. Make a list of the contents that’s shown here, so that if any component is missing, mark it on the list and make sure you replace it as soon as possible, so that the kit is ready to use whenever you need it.
First important component is the band-aid for small wounds, which should be available in a variety of sizes and shapes. Also make sure that you have enough of those, especially if you have small children at home.
There also should be gauze with different sizes, e.g. this one is 8.5 x 5 cm. There’s also a 10 x 10 cm gauze, and there are bigger sizes available as well. I recommend the medium size, 8.5 x 5 cm, as it can cover larger wounds.
There are also burn dressings, especially designed so they won’t stick to the site of the burn or abraded wounds. A good alternative would be plastic foil that is used for cooking. Besides there’s also plastic bandages, which have got many types and variable lengths and widths. This type of bandage is used for deep wounds and if compression is needed, in sprains and sometimes in fractures.
The adhesive band is used to keep the elastic band or gauze cured in place.
Sometimes we may need forceps, especially if living in countries known to have ticks. Forceps can also be used to remove thorns or glass embedded in the skin.
Medical scissors are characterised by having certain angles or having rounded ends.
Here we also have alcohol, cotton buds, cold and hot compressors. These compressors are commonly used in sprains and in fever. So you have hot and cold compressors.
And there is foil for large burns. And it’s also used to cover victims in accident sites, as on the highway or in cold weather, to maintain the victims body temperature. A good alternative is the aluminium or plastic foil we use in the kitchen.
This was a brief summary of the necessary components of the first aid kit. In the coming videos I will discuss how to use each and every in more details.
I wish you good health!
