Building an Emergency Medical Bag

Preparedmind101 expands the capabilities (and size) of his Emergency Medical kit with more tools, more medical supplies, and a new bag. Don't want to pay for a large medical bag? Check out my alternative bag that looks just like one that only cost $20 and can be found at just about any Walmart. In the video I mention two new tools I ordered but have not received yet.

How to Stop Bleeding

Warning Call 911 immediately if a victim:Has an obviously serious woundHas trouble breathing Continues to bleed after 15 minutes of applying direct pressureDisplays symptoms like lightheadedness, confusion, rapid breathing, weakness, nausea, or a change in their consciousness. Step 1: Put on gloves If they are available, put on a pair of disposable gloves. Step 2: Elevate body part Help the victim lie down, and elevate the body part that is bleeding. If it is possible to raise the part above the heart, this will help slow the bleeding. Step 3: Remove & clean Remove or clean anything that's in or near the wound that you can remove or clean easily, including clothing or jewelry. Step 4: Cover & press Cover the wound with sterile gauze pads or cloth, and press firmly against the wound. Keep the pressure steady and consistent. Tip If a foreign object is causing the bleeding, such as a knife or a piece of wood, do not remove it. It may be keeping the bleeding under control. Try to keep the object and injured area still, placing the dressing around the object and pressing lightly against wound. Step 5: Wrap bandage & secure Wrap a clean bandage around the wound and secure it with adhesive tape, bandage clips, or safety pins. If blood soaks through the bandage, apply another bandage over the first one. Step 6: Continue applying pressure Continue applying pressure, either with your hand on the dressing or with the bandage, for at least 15 minutes. Do not check to see if the bleeding has stopped before the time is up. Step 7: Call 911 If the flow of blood has not slowed or stopped after 15 minutes of steady pressure, call 911. Step 8: Squeeze artery If the bleeding does not stop, squeeze the artery that supplies blood to that limb or area against the bone with the heel of your hand. Maintain direct pressure on the wound and direct pressure on the pressure point until help arrives. Tip To find the artery on an arm, press midway between the shoulder and the elbow on the inside of the arm. To find the artery on a leg, press against the crease where the inside of the thigh meets the groin. Step 9: Remove gloves Carefully remove your gloves, being sure not to come into contact with the blood. Step 10: Wash hands Wash your hands thoroughly with soap and water once you're done tending to the bleeding. Did You Know? The arteries that supply your arms with blood are called the brachial arteries; those in your legs are the femoral arteries.
