I’m a rescue scuba diver and I’m thinking about getting a kit for emergency O2 and a basic aid kit centered around dive injuries but I could also expand it to be more versatile

I’m landlocked so I couldn’t help with dive related stuff but if you’re wanting o2 then that’s no longer an ifak.

Tourniquets buy either CAT or SOF-T wide get both vented and non vented chest seals and some impregnated gauze like quickclot

Carry some non impregnated gauze as well and some 4x4 gauze pads......North American Rescue will have practically everything you need

Check the pins in the Medical channel of the library here.

I have a complete and comprehensive IFAK list made.

Should be at the bottom of the channel list.

Really pissed I haven’t been able to practice IVs

<@&704854125346553896> boys imma practice on one of you

@[LA] Zoomer Medi/k/ nose goes

Is that how we’re gonna do it when we all train?

Last person who touches their nose has to take it?

Basically. Or they’d go first

I guess I’m finna stock up on everything

Not sure

I ain’t got the moola

Just befriend an emt/medic in your local area. We all carry shit home

but like

I don’t know any here like I did in Louisiana

What county?

@[LA] Zoomer Medi/k/

Jackson County

Oh shit I just realized I should probably be getting with you about making medical SOPs for the MS guys.

You would live in the only county that Acadian serves

I know maybe 2 people there and they ain’t helpful

Wait legit we’re the only county with Acadian?

Hey guys, who's the go to guy for pre-made ifaq and stop the bleed kits

I like Chinook Medical.

North American Rescue and Phokus both also have solutions for that.

My go-to is NAR, but I'm sure Chinook is outstanding as well.

Chinook is where I got my saline lock.

So when it comes to medical classes I’m CPR/AED cert and was gonna take the stop the bleed class then rona happened. What are some good medic classes. Gonna have to take BLS for hospital workers because I’m starting clinical soon(RN)

I would suggest EMR

EMR?

First responder basically

Then there’s EMT

EMT takes a while. I was originally going to go and get my associates degree to be a paramedic but then realized nursing is the same amount of work to earn and pay almost double. I’ll see if I can find that being taught in my area.

True.

Whos all my medics here

Emt-B

@[TX]YimYam yes same amount of time for different pay but its also a different skillet.
