Definitions
- the present invention relates in general to first aid kits and, in particular, to a first aid kit which is adaptable to a plurality of first aid environments.
- a key element for rapid decisive care in first aid is the instant recognition and management of the most serious injuries first.
- Organizations such as the American Red Cross and the National Safety Council spend considerable amounts of time during classroom training attempting to reinforce this principal.
- the initial reaction of the responder is to simply provide first aid for the most obvious injury and, as an after thought, check the victim's pulse.
- most first aid kits of the prior art present first aid supplies individually, in an often times confusing planar array. Thus, a first aid responder must select each first aid supply individually.
- first aid kit that was adapted for use in a wide variety of different types of first aid situations. Such a kit would also appeal to a diversity of users by ease in selection and usage of the supplies. Such a kit would appeal to a diversity of uses by ease in selection and usage of the instructions. Such first aid kit would provide quick access to the appropriate medical products for a given type of first aid condition. Such kit would further provide quick access to information regarding different first aid situations so that the users could appropriately and properly use the supplies found in the kit. Summary of the Invention
- the emergency relief system or, equivalently, first aid kit, of the present invention includes a first kit comprising a carrying case that includes means for providing quick access to the contents carried by the case.
- the carrying case further provides, on the inside, a plurality of compartments arranged in sequence to obtain a columnar array providing a card catalogue/file cabinet-like effect. Contained in the sequential compartments are first aid packs which are specifically designed with products and instructions appropriate for a particular first aid situation.
- the first aid kit further provides a guidebook that contains detailed instructions regarding the products contained in each pack as well as instructions on use of the products for different types of first aid situations.
- the first aid kit further includes an overview card that includes an overview of the components of the first aid kit, identifying each of the packs, for quick reference in a first aid condition. Additionally, each of the packs contains medical products specifically selected for different types of first aid situations as well as an instructional card that gives quick reference instructions for administration of assistance in these situations.
- each of the packs is designated a color for a first aid situation which is different than the colors designated for other first aid situations, for example, BLUE is associated with the breathing pack.
- the overview card is likewise color coordinated to assist the user in quickly finding the appropriate pack for the type of first aid situation encountered.
- the guidebook is color coordinated with the packs such that the detailed first aid instructions are found on pages which have borders matching the color of the pack. The guidebook parallels the instruction cards in each pack.
- each pack is designated by a unique icon that is recognizable in any language.
- the icons are utilized within the detailed guidebook as well as on the first aid kit overview card.
- the instructional cards contained in the packs as well as the detailed instructions contained in the guidebook are set forth in graphical depictions to guide the user in the use of the medical products in the type of first aid situation encountered.
- the instructional cards contained in the packs are capable of being combined to form a guidebook such that a secondary responder can read the matching instructions on the instructional card to a primary responder who can follow the guidebook graphical depictions simultaneously. This process saves time and increases accuracy in rendering first aid.
- the columnar array providing the card catalogue/file cabinet-like effect may be further expanded to present all the necessary packs in an accordion style columnar array.
- the primary emergency responder is rapidly able to completely visualize all of the packs as they fan out in front of them. This enables the responder to visualize all of the supplies, organized by injury, at once in an easy to comprehend array. This is contrasted with the confusing planar arrays of the prior art, which do not present first aid supplies packaged by injury.
- the structure of the first aid kit of the present invention provides a FUNCTIONAL INTELLEGENCETM approach, because the structure guides the user through the principles of administering first aid.
- the triage principle is the sorting of and allocation of treatment to patients according to a system of priorities designed to maximize the number of survivors in an emergency situation. Therefore, the order and sequence of the packs within the first aid kit is designed and assembled in the order of clinical or medical response. This design is advantageous because it ensures that, regardless of the visible injury, basic life support checks are performed first on every victim. For example, even if the responder comes upon a bone injury and selects that pack first, the integration of the triage principle with the bone pack directs the responder back to the basic life support check. Additionally, the first aid kit of the present invention provides a blueprint approach that further reduces hesitation and errors of omission during an emergency response. This is accomplished through the integrated use of colors, icons and numbers throughout all the packs.
- the present invention may include trouble-shooting causative indicating graphics depicting the types of injuries each pack is used for; e.g., the specific types of injuries for which the bleeding pack may be used.
- the present invention's design is also useful for environmental specific first aid needs such as home use, auto use and pet first aid.
- the first aid kit may include a "see through” top.
- This kit can further include a "pop up” feature identifying an injury character icon that is activated when the top is withdrawn, or alternately, the organizational scheme of the first aid kit can be printed on the top.
- each pack is mechanically keyed according to the different clinical response required.
- the BLUE pack can have a different shape and size than the PURPLE, RED or YELLOW packs, thereby ensuring that the packs cannot be confused with one another.
- enlarged print Braille characters may be included on pack labels, overview cards, instructional cards, and in the guidebook.
