Importance of Emergency First Aid Kit For Kids






With kids around, you never ever actually know when an accident may happen. So emergency awareness and preparedness is very important as it can Often help you save life. You should know necessary first aid to help the child, particularly if there are no hospitals or health professionals nearby for medical help.

To administer first aid to a kid, you first have to have a kids'   Emergency First Aid Kit prepared at all times. In fact, no matter if you have a kid at home or not, you need a kit at home as you by no means know when minor emergencies arise. A typical kids' first aid kit should contain

1. Adhesive bandages of various sizes to treat all injuries

2. An antibiotic cream to stop infection in cuts and scrapes

3. A burn ointment that prevents infections in minor melts

4. A cleaning representative like a scraper, soap and antibiotic towelettes to disinfect an injury

5. An eyewash solution for flushing eyes in case of contamination and for relieving pain and swelling in an allergy

6. Sterile dressings and gloves to stop excessive bleeding and for safety reasons

7. Some prescription medicine for deal withing pain, cold, inflammation, headache, nausea and diarrhea. However do keep checking its expiration dates that you can no longer use.

It's not enough to just have a first aid kit around; all adults in your home should know how to treat minor injuries in kids like cuts, minor uses up, scrapes and minor incidents. With his knowledge, you should not only be able to take care of minor injuries, but you should also be able to stabilize the more serious ones till professional medical help arrives.

Instead of preparing your own family first aid kit, you can buy ready-made ones on the internet or from drug stores. However it is typically better to make your own kit as there is no set common for these prepared-made ones. So you may not get all of the things required in a first aid kit if you buy these kits.

Car First Aid Kit: Realizing How Important It Is!

Have you recently been to a car showrooms dreaming about having your very own new car? Well generally men likes to go to these showrooms and you would noticed that some of them are more after to a car model’s exterior designs, some are interested to its high technology features, but a family man would always be interested to know and check everything from the interior to exterior designs, to its latest features and even to what are the essential things that a car should go with.

These days, my friends who are mostly family men are surprised to find out that several new models of cars out in the market doesn’t have a Car First Aid Kit, not all of it are included in the deal by de-fault. I thought about it and realized that maybe car companies want to sell those kits separately so they could have extra sales out of it, or maybe they already disregard the importance of having these kits on every car.

Well only a few years ago I’m traveling with my friends when one of them got hurt, luckily it wasn't serious. I’ve always had a Car First Aid Kit on my car which able me to gave him some first aid ,but at that time it really made me question the quality of the kit I have and whether it would really do the job if a worst case scenario came?

After that incident it made me decide to quickly update my car first aid kit. I'm so glad I did it, now I can drive around with no worries knowing that I am armed with a car first aid kit and if worse came to worse I am prepared to give a friend, family member and myself some first aid needed even when traveling on roads.

The kit I invested in was the Survival First Aid Kit. It’s awesome!The kit is neat with sturdy little zip and some great heavy duty canvas outer, best of all once its opened it magically springs open into 3/4 full size fold away compartments, each of which have their own pockets. All supplies are neatly kept, having this kind of kit comes the ease that every once in awhile when I head off for a trip I can quickly check it out to make sure nothing is missing.

To sum everything up my point here is that most of men and women as well, maybe most of the people now are quite amazed to how fast the technology upgrades, and everyone prefer to get USB,MP3 players and other gadgets as freebies when buying a new car , well those are nice things but the question is do we really need it in our cars?

Surprisingly even the smicko car like the BMW’s and Audi’s do have a kit but it only has a few of what a basic kit should have when it would be better if it’s complete. I guess it's just a marketing priority to offer 'something' for free.

Anyway if you’re a family man, if you’re a woman with kids I’m sure you understand the importance of having a car first aid kit on your cars. But I suppose that anyone whether married or single, with kids or without kids, young or old as long as you value life and you understand what difference it can make when you’re emergency prepared then you ought to have a Car First Aid Kit . Life is precious invest on your safety and protection
