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!

Learn First Aid ABC and save a life

In reality, we have to be ready for any possible scenario and know exactly what to do when we encounter an emergency.

This is why it is important to know the first aid ABC. It is an easy way to remember the basic steps a rescuer needs to go through when checking a victim.

ABC of First Aid:

A stands for Airway
B stands for Breathing
C for Circulations

As we mentioned, these are the most important indicators to check. If the victim is responsive, try and speak to speak and see if he or she can answer so you’d know the airway is clear. If the airway is blocked, roll the victim on his back while safely securing the head. You can then clear his airway by opening the mouth.

When the victim is breathing but unconscious, you want to roll him on the side while securing the neck and head, and open the mouth in order to make sure that the airway will not be blocked by the tongue. If the victim is unconscious put your hand or ear near his mouth and check for breathing. You can also place a small mirror to see breath. If there are no signs of breathing, don’t wait for the ambulance and start performing CPR. C for circulation means checking the victim’s pulse.
