| 427.1 | Maybe start with a book? | GRAMPS::WCLARK | Walt Clark | Mon Oct 27 1986 08:20 | 12 |
| My wife ordered a book on first aid from Dolphin books last winter.
We built up our first aid kit from its recommendations for coastal
cruisers. I will check on the name/publisher and report back.
Needless to say, we feel the info is very useful for both a "kit"
and the daily sundries that we now carry. There are also some helpful
first aid procedures, but mostly it suggests a lot of items, their
uses, packaging for sea, and precautions, which makes it worthwhile
to keep a copy on board.

| 427.2 | Suggested kit | IKE::HASKELL | | Mon Oct 27 1986 08:56 | 45 |
| As a retired Captain of a Fire Department Ambulance Company, I have
equipped my first aid kit along the lines on our Jump Kits carried
aboard the ambulance. I agree, for boating, I may have gone overboard.
However, here is a list of what I carry:
o 4 x 4 compresses (qty 8)
o 2 x 2 compresses (8)
o 5 x 9 compresses (8)
o Band Aids (1 box)
o Tape 1" (2 rolls)
o Tape 2" (1 roll)
o Triangle Bandages (3)
o Kling Bandage 2" (4 rolls)
o Kling Bandage 3" (4 rolls)
o Kling Bandage 4" (4 rolls)
o Bandage scissors (1)
o Tweesers (1)
o Asperine (1 bottle)
o Multi Trauma dressing (2)
o Splints (1 wire splint)
In addition to the above, I carry certain equipment that I have
been trained to use. These include:
o Blood Pressure cuff
o Stephscope
o Set of airways
o Pupil Light
To the first list add:
o Eye bandages
o Eye shield
o Splints (1 long and one short wooden splint each
o Bottle of steral (sp) water
Except for ther wooden splints, this all fits into a medium size
canvas bag that my wife sewed up for me.
Hope this helps

| An excellent book is "the Crusing Sailor's Medical Guide" by Leone
and Phillips, David McKay Co. (really!) NY. It includes most of
the stuff in .2, plus a bunch of extras that make interesting reading.

| 427.4 | any more? | RDF::RDF | Rick D. Fricchione | Tue Oct 28 1986 00:48 | 9 |
| re .-1: Thanks, Ill check it out when I hit the bookstore, or in
the next blurb from Dolphin.
re .-2: Thanks, thats kind of what I was looking for, I figured
I could make splints out of other stuff on board, but
I'd be interested in what others carry.

the same as .3.
I recommend it highly.
