Stay Organized with StatPacks G1 Perfusion Pack

When it comes to emergencies, my biggest challenge is to stay organized. I have to know exactly where things are, exactly when I need them.

This is why I use the StatPacks G1 Perfusion pack. The Perfusion is great for all EMS clinicians, it has two conveniently located main compartments, and three external pockets which allows me to achieve superior organization with large amounts of BLS and ALS equipment.

I really love the hybrid design that can be worn as a back pack or side sling, or even carried by hand which allows me maximum freedom and mobility. All of the inside is protected by foam lined construction and the shoulders and back are ergonomically padded for carrying comfort. There’s a quickzip access to the main compartment and the large side pockets allow me quick access to vital sign tools without accessing the main compartment.

It is the best piece of equipment I ever used thanks to its high quality and thoughtful construction. By the way all the materials are backed by a lifetime warranty and this pack is available at www.DixieEMS.com Read More!

How to use a Kendrick Extrication Device

KED or the Kendrick Extrication Device, is an important tool that helps to remove a patient safely from a motor vehicle. The KED stabilizes the victim’s head, back, shoulders and torso while immobilizing the patient’s ability to move the head, neck or spine.
The Ferno K.E.D for example, is a versatile, improved means of immobilizing and extricating patients from auto accidents or confined spaces. The wrap-around design provides horizontal flexibility for easy application and vertical rigidity for support of the spine, neck, and head during extrication. The Ferno K.E.D immobilizes torso, head and neck, enabling prompt extrication while minimizing risks of further injury.

Another K.E.D is the time-proven design of the K.O.D.E. (Kendrick's Other Device For Extrication). This legendary, industry standard design encloses the torso and cervical spine in a rigid frame of multiple vertical battens, providing horizontal flexibility and vertical rigidity for maximum support during extrication.

Remember that using KED is a complicated procedure which requires training. The famous mnemonic which helps a rescuer ensure that the straps are secured in order is “My Baby Looks Hot Tonight” in the order of Middle, Bottom, Legs, Head and Top.
