So is this news true? Is it true?/You don't say. So, for the first time, I consulted a friend who works in a BMW dealer. He said, "At present, most new cars in China are not equipped with first aid kits, but only some imported high-end models are equipped. However, starting from 20 19 1, the BMW 5 Series cancelled the medical first aid kit, let alone the mask! " So it can be concluded that the news that there is a mask in the car first aid kit is a rumor!
What is a car first aid kit?
As we all know, while cars are widely used nowadays, they will also bring unexpected harm to drivers and passengers because of various factors. In order to prevent and reduce people's injuries in traffic accidents, it is necessary to equip cars with medical first aid kits in some developed countries in the west.
The so-called vehicle-mounted first-aid kit is a package of medical first-aid equipment and medicines equipped on the vehicle, which can play a self-help role before traffic accidents cause casualties. In the shortest time, drivers and passengers can quickly use the medical first-aid supplies equipped in the bag to carry out preliminary first-aid treatment for the injured, reduce the probability of casualties, and win valuable time for their lives before waiting for the arrival of professional medical staff!
Why is there no mask in the car first aid kit?
Car first aid kits are common in Europe and America, but not in China. The main reason is that the utilization rate of the first aid kit is extremely low and there is a shelf life. There is no reason to equip a car with an almost useless thing when the automatic alarm and domestic vehicle rescue mechanism are perfect. Secondly, the car first aid kit is mainly used for car accidents. The focus of the car accident is to stop bleeding, bandage and fix the injured part. However, masks are not necessary equipment in car accidents. In addition, the space of the first aid kit is limited, so there will be no masks that are of little use to car accidents.
What's in the car first aid kit?
1.？ Spring tourniquet: If you can't stop bleeding in time in an emergency, the consequences will be very serious. Therefore, tourniquet is absolutely one of the essential items.
2.？ Gauze: We can use gauze for simple dressing in ordinary bumps or some small situations, so gauze is also essential in our car first aid kit.
3.？ Motion sickness medicine: If family members or friends get carsick when they go out by car, they can use motion sickness medicine to relieve their illness and make them feel more comfortable without affecting the normal driving of the driver.
4.？ Band-aid: If you bump while playing outside, you can wrap it with a band-aid first, so there will be no infection or more serious consequences. Band-AIDS are relatively small medical supplies, but they must be included in our car first aid kit.
5.？ Wound disinfection spray: Take children out to play with special care. If the child bumps, it must be disinfected in time, and then wrapped with a band-aid or gauze in time to prevent some inflammation.
In addition to the above, there are bandages, disposable gloves, first-aid scissors, medical tweezers, safety pins, life-saving whistle and so on. And the configuration of the first aid kit varies according to different models. Of course, there are mainly some medicines and tools that can help us protect ourselves and save ourselves in the case of traffic and distress in the suburbs.
