Personal first aid kit for a soldier. Military first aid kit

There are many factors influencing the composition of an individual first aid kit: the degree and type of threat, the level of training of the owner, the level of standard equipment and the possibility of acquiring non-standard equipment, and the available space for it, in the end. In general, this is a question that can be discussed constantly.
It so happened that I had the need to put together a small, easy-to-use first aid kit from “improvised means” - from what was in stock and what was easiest to get. It can best be described in three words: simple, cheap, compact. I want to talk about her.

A first aid kit is a complex of supplies and a pouch. Each of the components is important, each has certain requirements, but I will start with the determining one, with what it is planned to provide medical care.

Dressings:
1. TMS Control Wrap 4” – Elastic bandage. Much denser than gauze, allows for tighter bandaging. Much more effective than its predecessor. Price: 315 rub.
2. TMS OLAES Modular Bandage 4” – IPP based on an elastic bandage. American derivative of the Israeli pioneer from the company First Care. It has some differences, but, by and large, they are cosmetic, with the exception of the absence of a plastic buckle to reverse the direction of bandaging. The main thing I didn’t like was the bulky vacuum packaging; the Israelis pack much more compactly. Price: 540 rub.

Hemostatic agents:
3. Collagen hemostatic sponge 90x90mm – Used in conjunction with dressings when there is severe bleeding. It is unlikely to cope with arterial, but with venous or severe damage to soft tissues it can be useful. It takes up little space and weighs almost nothing. Cheap, readily available hemostatic agent. Price: 160 rub.
4. Hemostop 50g - Domestic hemostatic of the first, if I'm not mistaken, generation. A solution for those who did not have enough money for Celox. It has generation-appropriate side effects: it is poorly excreted from the body, it heats up during operation, which can lead to thermal burns. This is better than nothing, especially with complex, severe wounds. Slightly widespread. Price: 600 rub.

Mechanical means of stopping bleeding:
5. C-A-T – Modern tourniquet. Can be replaced with SOFTT-W - depending on what you can get. Price: 800rub

Additional tools:
6. Adhesive plaster on a woven basis in a roll of 3x500cm - As multifunctional as adhesive tape and electrical tape, but sticks better than them, especially to wet surfaces. For compactness, cut out the sleeve and crumple it. It is used for bringing together the edges of wounds, for fixing bandages, for sealing penetrating wounds of the chest and for assembling valves for them from scrap materials. It has a modern analogue on a non-woven basis, which is less damaging to the skin, but it is more expensive and less common. Price: 59 rub.
7. Nitrile gloves 1 pair – Necessary for secondary examination and more delicate work with wounds. Pharmacies usually sell them in large packages of 50-100 pairs, so I bought a pack of 10 pairs at a hardware store - no difference. The main thing is to take a larger size so that you can wear them directly over tactical gloves. Price: 10r

Auxiliary means:
8. HIS 15 cm white - Because it is dark outside. For those times when you don’t have to think about blackout. Price: 55r
9. Indelible black marker – Necessary for marking the time of application of the tourniquet and information about the administered drugs. No less important than this very tourniquet. It's better to buy a branded one and know that it won't dry out in a couple of weeks. Price: 25 rub.

Total: 2564 rub.– This is probably the most budget-friendly layout possible, without significant loss of content functionality.

Those interested in such topics will probably have questions, some of which I want to cover:
Firstly, there is the question of the price of medicines. As I immediately wrote, I purchased some elements of this kit about a year ago, when the price for them was not so high, so the indicated prices differ from the current ones.
Secondly, the issue of configuration. Someone will consider this set to be meager or antediluvian, saying “this and that could have been added.” The key point in assembling this first aid kit was to use the simplest and most accessible, both in terms of price and in terms of the prevalence of medications, as well as the easiest to use even by a person with low qualifications. That is why it does not contain a decompression needle, a nasal tube, or a special plaster for chest wounds.
Thirdly, about the lack of scissors and a flashlight. It was important to me that the first aid kit be compact, so I abandoned elements that duplicate each other - I always have a knife and a flashlight with me, regardless of the presence or absence of a first aid kit. In this case, CIS plays the role of an additional agent.

As the degree of threat increases, the first aid kit is supplemented with the required number of tourniquets and PPIs, which are placed in the pockets of the uniform.

We've sorted out the contents. Now about the “packaging”.
It took me a long time to find a suitable pouch. The ones available were either too big, or stupid, or very expensive, or several options at once. Quite by accident, I came across the Condor Rip-Away EMT Lite in Tan color - then I realized that this was what I was looking for.

This is a small tear-off medical pouch of a familiar design. It consists of a bag and a platform connected by a textile fastener, doubled with a 25mm sling with fastex. The bag has a small patch panel and a number of straps for securing the contents to the outside, be it a tourniquet, HIS or scissors. The quality of Condor's materials and fittings is average; the main thing you need to pay attention to when purchasing is the quality of tailoring - there are defects - and the design - there are obvious flaws. In this case, as you can see in the photo from the back, the side PALS cells are not sewn at the same level, and their number is not enough - a third one is required to conveniently attach an adapter or a pouch for a harness.

Things didn't go smoothly with the platform either. The mounting kit included two 6" clips, which were obviously too big, so I replaced them with 5" ones from another pouch from the same company. In this version, the panel fits perfectly on 3 PALS slings. I can’t help but notice that the textile clasp is of good quality and the bag sits quite firmly on the platform.

The internal organization is standard for this type of pouch. An elastic band in the shape of a figure eight is sewn onto the outer flap, which allows you to place contents in or under it. On the inner flap there is a pocket with an elastic neck, on top of which there is also a figure eight made of elastic tape, and in the corners there are four paracord loops - to one of them I tied a piece of black elastic cord with a loop. On the side surfaces there is one gasket made of elastic tape. Minimalistic but functional.

Medical supplies in the pouch.
The pocket contains a package with a hemostatic sponge. On top of it, under the elastic band - Hemostop. All contents are fixed in their place and removing any element does not entail the accidental loss of another. The tools are divided into categories, which is very useful in many cases. I'm satisfied with the ease of access.

An example of the location of a pouch on a chest vest.
The rule of access with both hands is observed, both to the bag itself to remove it from the platform, and simply to the contents without removing it.

In order to somehow summarize all of the above, I will repeat that the composition of an individual first aid kit depends on a large number of factors, both objective and subjective, so you should not jump off the handle and immediately claim that this composition is “fundamentally incorrect and outdated.” Remember that the lion's share of service people still trust their lives to a cotton-gauze PPI with, at best, an unexpired expiration date and an Esmarch rubber tourniquet, and not at all through their own fault, but that's a completely different story.
Thanks for reading, I hope you found it helpful.

P.S. It's funny that when assembling this set I almost repeated the complete set

Medical property– these are special material resources intended for prevention, diagnosis of lesions and diseases, treatment of the wounded and sick, caring for them, carrying out sanitary, hygienic and anti-epidemic measures in the troops, laboratory, pharmacy and other work, as well as for training purposes.

A special group of medical property is individual medical equipment for military personnel, designed to provide first aid in the form of self- and mutual aid, as well as to weaken the impact of enemy weapons.

This group of medical equipment includes an individual first aid kit (AI), an individual dressing package (IDP), individual anti-chemical packages of various modifications (IPP-8,9,10), and a water disinfectant.

Personnel who are in military equipment are provided with first aid in case of injury group means of medical equipment– various first aid kits (military, airborne, etc.) Items included in the first aid kit are placed in a special metal case, which is secured on board or in the cockpit of the combat vehicle in a visible place.

Individual first aid kit (AI)

Rice. 5 Individual first aid kit

Contains means for the prevention and treatment of the consequences of exposure to weapons of mass destruction, as well as to weaken the primary reaction to radiation, in order to preserve the combat effectiveness of personnel. It is a set of medications and antidotes in tablets (pencil cases) and solutions (syringe tubes), placed in a polyethylene case (Fig. 5). The drugs contained in syringe tubes and pencil cases are taken (injected) in the event of an immediate threat or immediately after the enemy uses weapons of mass destruction in the form of self- or mutual assistance. The medicines contained in the first aid kit are used as directed by the commander (chief) or independently. The medicines in the first aid kit are placed in a strictly defined sequence, in specially designated slots and differ from each other in the color of the packaging and shape, this makes it easier to find the right medicine.

1. Remedy for poisoning with organophosphate toxic substances (OPS) – one syringe tube with a red cap. Athene or Budaxim – solution for injection – 1 ml. At the first signs of FOV damage (impaired breathing, vision, salivation), the contents of one syringe tube are injected intramuscularly. The second syringe tube is used 5–10 minutes after injecting the contents of the first in cases where signs of poisoning continue to increase. In case of severe lesions, when they are accompanied by loss of consciousness, the contents of these syringe tubes are administered without intervals, in one go.

2. Analgesic: one syringe tube with a colorless cap (2% promedol solution) is used for severe pain caused by bone fractures, extensive wounds, crushed tissue, burns and other lesions, in order to prevent the development of traumatic or burn shock. It is administered intramuscularly or subcutaneously.

3. Radioprotective agent - cystamine - 0.2 tablets in two 8-sided pink pencil cases, 6 tablets in each. The contents of one pencil case (6 white tablets) are taken 40–50 minutes before possible irradiation, if the expected radiation dose may be 100 rad. and higher. If necessary, the drug in the same dose can be taken 6 hours after the first dose. In special cases (air temperature above 30 o C, (nausea, motion sickness), it is recommended to reduce the dose of the drug to 4 tablets, especially with repeated doses.

4. Antibacterial agent - two capsules of doxycycline hydrochloride, 0.2 g each. One capsule is taken when there is a risk of infection with infectious disease agents, as well as for wounds and burns. The second capsule is taken again after 24 hours.

5. Antiemetic (dimetcarb) – film-coated tablets, 10 pieces per package (one package). After irradiation, concussion, or if nausea occurs, take one tablet. The effect of the drug lasts 4–5 hours after administration. If nausea continues, you should repeat the drug at the same dose.

Tablets for water disinfection “Pantocid” or “Aquasept”

Designed for disinfection of individual water supplies in the field. Currently, the supply consists of pantocide in tablets containing 3 mg. active chlorine. To disinfect one flask (0.75 ml) of water, 1-2 tablets of panthocide should be dissolved in it. To completely dissolve the panthocide, the flask of water must be shaken vigorously. After 30–40 minutes, the disinfected water can be used for drinking. Pantocide is packaged in glass tubes of 20 tablets each. The tablets are not stable, have a limited shelf life (1 year) and therefore are not stored in stocks.

Individual dressing package (PPI)

Designed to provide self- and mutual aid for wounds and burns, as well as to protect wounds and burns from secondary infection. It is an individual means of medical equipment for a soldier (Fig. 6).

Fig.6 Individual dressing package

Consists of two cotton-gauze pads measuring 17x32 cm, movable and fixed), a gauze bandage 7 m long, 10 cm wide, a safety pin, an inner paper and outer rubberized shell. One pad is fixed movably, and the second is fixed. For small rand sizes and burn areas, the bag pads can be applied folded in half, and for a large wound or burn - unfolded. To maintain the sterility of the pads, one side of them is stitched with colored threads, which can be grasped with your hands. The rubberized shell ensures the sterility of the contents of the package, and is also used to apply an occlusive dressing for open pneumothorax. The application of bandages to various areas of the body should be done according to the general rules of desmurgy. To secure the bandage, a safety pin is inserted into the package packaging. The surface of the rubberized shell indicates the method of opening and rules for using the bag, as well as the year of its manufacture. Weight – 100 g.

Medical cape (NM)

Purpose: to protect the wounded and sick from adverse meteorological factors (low temperatures, precipitation, intense solar radiation).

Device: it is a panel made of lavsan film, metallized on one side with a layer of sprayed aluminum. Maintaining the temperature of the patient (wounded) is achieved due to the reflection of the thermal radiation of the body by the metallizing layer of the cape.

Tactical and technical characteristics: maximum duration of protection against hypothermia at a temperature of – 20 o C – three hours; wrapping time 3–4 minutes; frequency of use cycles – up to 3 times; dimensions when unfolded – 2500 x 2300; per package: 160 x 120, weight - 160 g. The medical cape is used at ambient temperatures from -50 o C to +40 o C. Used in MPB, MPP, OMedB, OMO.

Individual anti-chemical package (IPP-8)

IPP-8 is intended for partial sanitary treatment when exposed areas of the body and adjacent areas of clothing are infected with persistent toxic substances. The package consists of a universal degassing solution in a flat glass bottle with a capacity of up to 200 ml. and 4 gauze napkins.

The amount of degasser ensures the treatment of approximately 1500–2000 cm of body surface. The contents of the package are packed in a plastic bag with instructions for use. If toxic substances (liquid droplets) come into contact with the skin, it is necessary to immediately treat the contaminated areas and the adjacent uniform, as well as protective equipment, with the contents of the package. Open the bottle, moisten a napkin with the liquid from it and remove drops of OM with a pinch-like movement. The liquid is poisonous and should not be used to treat the eyes.

3. medical items (hemostatic tourniquets, scissors, safety pins) and other items (folding knife, notepad, pencil).

Tara – cover of the SS bag. Weight – 4.8 kg.

The issue of completing an individual army first aid kit must be approached very seriously and carefully. Here, every mistake can cost the life or disability of the victim. The soldier’s medical and psychological training and the ability to provide first aid should also be taken into account. Without basic medical knowledge, a military first aid kit may be useless. What should be considered when forming the composition of an individual army first aid kit?

According to US Combat lifesaver, the most likely situations requiring first aid are:

• head and neck injuries (16%)
• torso injuries (32%)
• limb injuries (44%)
• mixed wounds (85%)
• bleeding
• eye injuries
• allergic reactions
• burns
• radiation and chemical damage

As we can see from the statistics, wounds and bleeding are the most likely reasons for providing first aid. Consequently, funds allocated for emergency assistance activities must be within easy reach, literally “at hand.” That is, a military first aid kit should consist of at least two sets:

Both sets must be visually identified as first aid kits and have a corresponding appearance, marked with a red cross.

The first set of a military first aid kit is minimal and should always be “at hand”

Compound:

1. IPP – individual dressing package
2. Sterile bandage 7×14 - 2 pcs.
3. Esmarch tourniquet or similar – 2 pcs.
4. Syringe tube with analgesic. Nalbuphine or Butarfonol.
5. Hemostatic agent Quiklot and Celox.; cheaper: Hemostop powder and collagen hemostatic sponges.

Second set of army military first aid kit - basic

Designed to provide further medical care. Partially duplicates the composition of the first set. Compound:

All of the above information is for advisory purposes only. When completing an individual army first aid kit, many factors are taken into account: the likelihood of exposure to toxic substances, climatic conditions, the level of medical training of military personnel, etc. It should also be understood that many of the products on the list are not registered in one country or another, and, accordingly, require replacement with products similar in purpose.

Designed to equip every employee of all economic facilities of the Russian Federation, regardless of the form of ownership. The AI-2 first aid kit is included in the mandatory equipment list for non-standard emergency rescue units (NASF), which are part of the forces and means of Civil Defense and Civil Protection of Particularly Dangerous Enterprises that have important defense and economic importance in accordance with Order of the Ministry of Emergency Situations of the Russian Federation No. 999 of December 23, 2005 .

An individual first aid kit for a serviceman is a special set of medical products and medications designed to provide individual or collective emergency care for various burns, wounds and other extreme situations, directly in combat conditions. What are the main types of these products? How to wear it correctly? You will read about this and much more in our article.

Types of army medical kits

There are several types of military first aid kits. In general, they can be individual or collective, intended for combat personnel or paramedics working in military field conditions, as well as civilian needs.

Basic types of military first aid kits include:

• Personal first aid kit. It is often called a tactical first aid kit. It includes 4 main classes with several varieties and is briefly labeled as AI. At the same time, AI-1 and AI-3 with modifications are intended for military needs. AI-2 and AI-4 are simplified versions for ordinary residents and are used as personal protective equipment within the framework of civil defense;
• Military first aid kit. It is an expanded set of medications and drugs that are used to equip wheeled and tracked vehicles in the armed forces of the Russian Federation. Allows you to provide first emergency medical aid to 3-5 wounded crew members;
• VF kit. It is an expanded functional set of medicines and various medications intended for the systemic provision of first emergency medical care. The paramedic military kit most often acts as a staff unit for a medical platoon or battalion. In addition, they are equipped with sections of evacuation routes and places of military operations. It is used not only by the military and is currently in service with civilian emergency services; in addition, a certain number of them are stored in civil defense and emergency warehouses.

Composition of a military personal first aid kit

Currently, the Russian army uses modern personal protective equipment, including an appropriate medical kit. However, throughout the country you can still find variations of individual sets for military or civilian needs of previous modifications.

AI-1

The first modification of the AI-1 first aid kit was accepted for supply back in 1978. Designed to prevent shock in case of injuries, wounds, as well as provide medical care in case of bacterial, chemical or radiation damage.

The basic composition of the army personal first aid kit AI-1 includes:

• Two syringe tubes with Athena or Budaxim. Intended for use in case of poisoning with FOV;
• One syringe tube with analgesic drug spectrum. Most often they receive a solution of promedol. Included optionally by special permission;
• Cystamine tablets. Acts as a radioprotective agent;
• Antibiotic in tablet form. Previously, tetracycline hydrochloride was used, after 1987 it was replaced by vibromycin;
• Antidote. Supplied optionally depending on specific potential military conditions. Most often it was a combination of phenazepam, aminostigmine and fluoroacyzine or potassium iodide;
• Etaperazine in tablets. A strong antiemetic.

In the more modern variation AI-1, accepted for supply already in 1995, poisoning prevention agents, antiseptics, and water disinfection solutions were added to the drugs described above.

AI-2

The civilian version of the AI-1 is currently considered obsolete. Intended for emergency treatment in situations involving the use of weapons of mass destruction, as well as mutual aid for wounds.

This
healthy
know!

The basic composition of the AI-2 first aid kit included 2 radioprotective and antibacterial agents, as well as an antiemetic drug. In addition, until 1995, the composition contained aprofen, which is an antidote to damage from organophosphorus compounds. Variations of the AI-2 personal first aid kit, previously used by non-military law enforcement officers, also included the narcotic opioid analgesic and athens.

AI-3

At the moment, it is the main option for an individual military first aid kit; it contains a universal set of emergency first aid equipment.

Basic composition of an individual first aid kit AI-3:

• One hemostatic tourniquet;
• Universal broad-spectrum antibiotic. Usually it is doxycycline;
• 1 individual dressing package;
• Two tubes of narcotic analgesic. Supplied by special order, in peacetime the first aid kit is not equipped with it;
• Two antidotes. Budaksim and Athens;
• Antiemetic and radioprotective agent. Accordingly, ethaperazine and cystamine.

The extended variation AI-3-3sp includes about 3 dozen positions and is intended to provide assistance to a group of soldiers, up to 2 dozen people.

AI-4

The civilian version of the military individual first aid kit AI 3 in 4 variations. Used in normal situations involving the use of weapons of mass destruction. Included remedies against poisoning by organophosphorus compounds, potent toxic components, and reserve antidotes.

In addition, it contained antibacterial and radioprotective components, an analgesic and an antiemetic drug. At the moment it is considered obsolete, the official one has ceased to be used since 2012, and has been replaced by a personal medical civil protection kit containing 13 components

Composition of the personal first aid kit AI-4:

• Dressing package;
• Ketorol;
• Oral air duct;
• Ammonia;
• Sodium thiosulfate;
• Fcisol;
• Hemostatic tourniquet;
• Mexidol;
• Doxycycline;
• Potassium iodide;
• Hot water bottle;
• Disinfecting and hemostatic wipes.

Anti-chemical bags

A modern individual anti-chemical package is the 11 series IPP kit. It is designed to neutralize a wide range of irritants and toxic substances on the skin, personal protective equipment, and so on. The basic working substance is a combined liquid containing water, sodium hydroxide, ethyl carbitol, triethylene glycol and lanthanum nitrate.

It can act as an effective prevention when applied to the skin in advance for up to one day.

Using the anti-chemical bag is quite simple: you need to open it along the cut-out notch, use a swab to treat the skin with the available liquid, and then dispose of the remains as household waste.

Individual sets AI1–AI4 can be worn wherever it is convenient in the summer, for example, using the side pockets of a tactical vest. During the cold season, the corresponding product is placed in the chest pocket under several layers of clothing to minimize the risk of freezing of liquid substances and their damage.

Military first aid kits and paramedic kits are carried in appropriate cases or specialized bags - both devices have the necessary set in sections for the correct distribution of available substances.
