Dear Students
(Dr Karen- your opinion also requested..)
While some of you may wish to carry your personal first aid kit, I was thinking of having one common pack too; those of you who are nursing students can respond to this and tell me if the kind and quantity are enough. The pack will be carried by students in rotation.
Crepe bandage (6 inches) – 2
Bandaids- 6
Cotton bandage (6 inches)- 4
(Next three for anaphylactic shock / acute allergies)
Injection Epinephrine- 2 phials
Injection Hydrocortisone- 2 phials
Injection Avil- 2 phials
Tablet Diclofenac Sodium (analgesic)- 10
Tablet Paracetemol (Anti pyretic)- 10
Tablet Digene (antacid)- 10
Tablet Lomotil or Imodium (diarrhea)- 10
Tablet Gravol (vomiting)- 10
I have been conducting first aid training in voluntary agencies: the guiding principle is to use locally available material rather than carry every conceivable supply- which would be impractical. Lastly, if people are fit, warm up properly and take other well established precautions -we will be discussing these- I expect no injuries or problems.
Feel free to give me your feedback..
