LOL! [:D]

Defibrillators are over rated. Just drag the patient out to a car & use the jumper cables. If things don't work out the way they're supposed to, throw 'em in the trunk, and drive to the new football stadiums being built. (I live in NY. Who says only Jimmy Hoffa can rest for eternity on the 50 yd line?)

quote: ORIGINAL: MissCake Imagine you are stocking the first aid kit for a dungeon where 25 people might be playing. Dungeon is a no-limits dungeon allowing blood, scat, knife, needle, urine, fire and breath play. What should be in the kit? For those that would have issues with diabetes and experience extreme sugur drop, orange juice, hard candy. There are items in most drug departments that deal with this, but I can't remember what they were called

I would add a navigator with the route to the local hospital in the favorites, and a quick reference chart with every day accidents that result in the same injuries as those anticipated. I would also put some pain killers, and an euthanasia kit... just in case

quote: ORIGINAL: windchymes Well, if you're going to get crazy with it, one of those portable defibrillator units could save a life. Ya never know. Cardiac compression unit. A defibrillator is only good for a certain set of heart conditions. However, a cardiac compression unit is slipped around the chest, and will maintain adequate blood flow until the patient has arrived at the hospital. The air ambulance service here prefers a compression unit and bag valve mask to CPR and defibrillation by a doctor with a specialization in emergency medicine (they bring the doctors on site with a shitload of equipment and take them back along with the patient to drop them off directly at the main ER, for use when seconds really, really matter). It does not break ribs like conventional compression. It maintains a higher blood flow. It can keep at it for longer than it matters. And I believe there are units available with built-in defib. I see the flask of oxygen (though nitrox or similar may be better), and raise one EpiPen and training in its proper use. An allergic reaction or asthma attack with subsequent suffocation can really put a dent in the evening. Stopwatch for epilleptics, as you don't want 'em twitching for too long before calling it in. Why not ask an ER specialist for advice, after signing a waiver? Health, al-Aswad.

I would say start with a good kink friendly lawyer, add in lots of strong cleaners/disinfectant, followed by basic sanitation classes, add in hazardous waste handling classes, and follow with most of the above posted suggestions.

No holds barred means the host/hostess should only invite people with common sense and expierence. All the firstaid kits in the world won't help if you kill or cripple somebody :-)

An operating theater with a full time anesthetist just in case but if you can't afford one then get an inflatable ambulance.

A big vial of morphine [8\|] .

NovelApproach -> RE: WHAT SHOULD BE IN THE FIRST AID KIT? (10/18/2009 4:24:24 AM)
Second the EpiPen, and add to it more everyday allergy meds like benadryl. Never know when someone's going to have a reaction to an unfamiliar lube or something.

I carry an epipen because I'm allergic to wasp stings and anyone who carries a risk of getting an anaphylactic reaction should be carrying a pen of their own with an SOS piece of jewelry and they should be informing people that they carry one. The trouble with giving intra-muscular adrenaline is that if you get it wrong and it is not an anaphylactic reaction you will probably cause more damage especially if they are already suffering from something else such as heart disease. You can be trained in when to use an epipen but in the UK at least you can't buy these things over the counter.
