What should I keep in my medical kit at home?

What you should have in your home medical kit are alcohol pads, saline, sterilized gauze, bandages, triangular towels, safety pins, adhesive tape, band-aids, cotton swabs, iodine povine, cotton swabs, and so on.

Alcohol wipes are used to sterilize tools such as hands or pliers before first aid. Gloves, masks can prevent the rescuer from getting infected. 0.9% saline is used to clean the wound. Based on hygiene requirements, it is best to choose small individual packets or medium-sized bottles. It is important to note that any leftovers after opening should be thrown away and not put back into the first aid kit.

If you don't have any, you can replace it with unopened distilled or mineral water. Sterilized gauze is used to cover wounds. It neither has the potential to leave cotton threads on the wound as cotton does, nor does it tug on the wound when removed. Bandages are elastic and are used to cover wounds without impeding blood circulation. 2-inch ones are good for hands and 3-inch ones for feet.

Triangular bandages, also known as triangular bandages, can be used for a variety of purposes, including supporting an injured upper limb, immobilizing dressings, or fixing a fracture. A safety pin holds the bandana or bandage in place. Paper tape can be fixed gauze, because it does not irritate the skin, suitable for general use. Zinc oxide tape holds bandages in place. Band-Aids are used when covering small wounds. Cling paper is used to wrap burns and scalds before sending them to the hospital, utilizing the fact that it doesn't cling to the wound.

Pouch masks or artificial respiration masks are used to prevent infection when administering artificial respiration. Round-tipped scissors, pliers, round-tipped scissors are safer and can be used to cut the tape or bandage. If necessary, they can also be used to cut open clothing. Pliers can be used instead of holding dressings with both hands, or to pincer away dirt from wounds, etc.

The flashlight can be used to illuminate when rescuing in the dark. It can also be used to do pupillary reaction for people who have fainted. Cotton swabs are used to clean small bleeding wounds. Ice packs are placed on bruises, muscle strains or sprained joints to constrict the microvessels, which can help reduce swelling. When a nosebleed occurs, place it on the forehead of the injured person to help stop the bleeding.
