Its good to have a reference under stress. Color me impressed. Pouch and insert manufacturer? Thanks. As stated by the other poster the insert is ATS. The pouch is the HSGI nalgene pouch. |

Is there a recommended list of contents for someone not running a medic/field surgeon rig?
Me and a few others are trying to find the most ideal pouch in that it holds a good volume of contents without being a huge trauma kit. Personally I like BFG Trauma Kit NOW and the HSGI Mini EOD pouch personally, but I wanted some input from those more experienced. A friend of mine, who's a Capt and field surgeon in the US Army, has looked at a bunch of kits (ATS small pouch, BFG Trauma Kit NOW, HSGI pouch, DS Tactical Pouch, Maxpedition FIGHT pouch, and Esstac Medrat pouch) and she seems concerned that they may all be "too small" Sounds a little  , but her logic is since the single person doesn't have a guaranteed sick bay to be transported to from the field in the event this stuff should have to be used, they should have enough on them to be self contained, without carrying all the stuff a medic or field surgeon would. Somewhere between a USGI medkit and a Field Surgeon's rig.
So, I'm stumped. There's a lot of packs I like, but given her input, I'm not sure where to go with this. I'm also worried she might be looking at it from too much a "Caring" perspective; when it comes to armor she'd rather everyone go out in "walking tank" fashion, with front/back plates, side plates, groin protection, neck protection, helmet, etc. Yeah, fuck that. So, to the original question: What's the ideal list of medical gear to have on you (ex: QuikClot, Israeli Bandage, gauze, shears, etc), and what are some of the better pouches to fit them in? |

Anybody? This is what I'm trying to gather for mine based on my experience and posts here and elsewhere. This will hopefully all fit into an ATS Med Tray Insert stowed in a TT AK/M4 pouch: Tylenol Nitrile Gloves CPR shield Tourniquet (Tourni-Kwik 4 (TK4)?) Quick-clot Saran Wrap (use as thoracic seal) Vetwrap / ACE wrap (Vetwrap is cheaper, sticks better) Micro AAA sized LED light with constant on mode (no pushbutton) Stubby Sharpie marker (3" from hardware store checkout) Shears ABD pads (use as trauma dressings) Nonsterile 4x4s - seal into a bag? A few Bandaids Small sample size tube of Vaseline Small tube of Super Glue (or a few micro singles) 2" tape - silk or Durapore |

I am a fan of Tac Med Solutions. Nice kits and a fair price. Shipped fast also. I picked up two of their "downed operator" kits (TQ, Compression bandage, shears, facemask, tape, gloves) - one for the daily vehicle and the other for my war-belt (with a HALO thrown in). Fits into one of the Grey Ghost / TT zippered pouches nicely! Since I'm almost always alone when I am out in the woods... I left out the nasopharyngeal catheter; but I'll probably make a larger "class/range" bag with more stuff and include it there. I am contemplating getting one of those ATS pull-out gizmos, since fishing around in a zippered pouch is not the easiest thing to do. |

Those are indicated on conscious patients/patients with a "gag reflex" anyway, and you CAN self-insert it, so might as well leave it in anyway!

| Nice pouch and set up, Larry. But I think those CPR Microshields are bad news (Maybe better than nothing), as the air inlet has no one-way valve to protect from the victim's fluids coming up into the rescuer's mouth. Our agency pulled them from issue over a decade ago. Gall's has a good mask that is available in a hard olive-drab clam shell. Cheap insurance, although they do take up a lot of space inside a military-style medical pouch. |

Quite the contrary these do have a one-way valve protecting you from the patient side.
I carry these everywhere because they are small, compact and work. All of the renal dialysis clinics I work in also carry them at the patient stations. I additionally have Laerdal Pocket Masks, BVMs, Nasophyrangeal Airways, Berman and Geudal Orophyrangeal Airways and EET tubes and disposable laryngoscopes to choose from, but these work quite well!
Don't know if you can tell in this pic but that is a one-way valve there.

Right now I have an Eagle/SKD Universal Chest Rig. I'm looking to attach a med pouch and stuff it with some goodies. I only have two rows of pal webbing, which pouch would give me the most space for so little attachment? I'm thinking the HSGI Improved Bleeder or something similar. I intend to stuff it with one of Tactical Response gears VOKs. Any other suggestions? |

Sorry Dude, didnt see the question in a timely manner...... if you look up the page at the kit on my belt, it is my "Last Aid" kit, very minimal and for use when "I" am bleeding.....most of these guys have very good kits listed, it would take a whole lot of page to list my actual aid kit......I carry a full operational Medic Pack on me, while doing missions......back to your question, copy what others have done already, or better- go get some training in emergency medicine....First Responder, EMT, even a red cross first aid class will give you a heads up. |

A little bigger then a vest mounted pouch, but this seemed like the only applicable thread to put it in;
I used a TSSI M9 low profile aid bag as my go to bag in Iraq 2008-2009. I had a Blackhawk bag I set up (http://gearsoc.com/board/viewtopic.php?f=37&t=2760&p=18163#p18163) in my evac vehicle, and this M9 was what I'd take on my back because it has a much smaller profile and is easier to use in vehicle operations. 
On the outside I had 2 CATs rubber banded to each side's MOLLE webbing (total of 4), chemlights through the front MOLLE webbing, and an IR flag for night time IFF. 
In opened the bottom pocket up I carried two 500ml of hextend, all of my CLS and trucks had tons of NS so I wasn't too worried about saline fluids. Also have two 10ml saline flushes to clear out locks in the compartment along with a NARP BOA band, sharps shuttle and FAST 1 IO IV kit with a tactical traction splint - we were primarily mounted in MRAPs so a long bone injury was likely in the event of a rollover so it was good to have around. Its hard to see, but the black bag on the right side is the case for the splint. 
I set my IV bag kits up in what I called "burritos". It had an IV lock kit, tubing and fluids and was rolled up in a cravat held together by tape which could be used to secure the tubing and catheter down while saving a lot of space. 
When you opened the main compartment the first zippered pouch on the flap panel was my "gay shit" pouch; I kept various meds (usually diphenhydramine, ibprofin, loperamide, MSO4, promethezine, and narcan with carpujects) as well as a minor wound kit with bandaids, 2x2s, telfa dressings, and steristrips along with antibiotic ointment in it. 
I used the panel that came with the bag instead of using the one where you could make your own with tie downs. I keep 2 14 ga 3 1/4" NARP ARD needles in it, 2 Hyfin dressings and 2 ACS as well as a set of trauma sheers, exam light and a red and black sharpee. 
In the pouch beneath the chest injury panel I had four of the NARP needleless saline lock kits as well as a couple constricting band. 
The zippered pouch on the top of the main compartment I used as my diagnostic pouch. I have about 10 pairs of the little black talon gloves that are rolled up in each other, an Onyx 9500 pulse oximeter, a Littman Cardiac Pro stethoscope, two rolls of 3" medical tape, a small green lens exam light and an Epipen. 
One of the best things about this bag was its wide open layout. As soon as you open it pretty much everything is right there for you. 
Below the zippered pouch in the first of the open top kangaroo pouches I have 2 NPAs with lube, a NARP cyclone pocket BVM, an EZ Suction bulb and a Size 5 King LT kit. 
Beneath that was part of my bleeding kit, its got three rolls of Quick clot combat gauze, three 6" Emergency trauma dressings and a large abdominal sized ETD. 
Under that has four rolls of S-rolled gauze, two hemcon bandages, two ACE wraps, two cravats, and a NARP Crikit. The Crikit is sort of out of place in the bleeding pouch, but it was the only place where it would fit. In the back mesh pocket I've got two unrolled SAM splints and a c-collar as it is a necessity in the event of a vehicle rolling over. |

I keep 2 14 ga 3 1/4" NARP ARD needles in it, 2 Hyfin dressings and 2 ACS as well as a set of trauma sheers, exam light and a red and black sharpee. http://i800.photobucket.com/albums/yy285/docrock184/DSC00594.jpg In the pouch beneath the chest injury panel I had four of the NARP needleless saline lock kits as well as a couple constricting band. http://i800.photobucket.com/albums/yy285/docrock184/DSC00596.jpg The zippered pouch on the top of the main compartment I used as my diagnostic pouch. I have about 10 pairs of the little black talon gloves that are rolled up in each other, an Onyx 9500 pulse oximeter, a Littman Cardiac Pro stethoscope, two rolls of 3" medical tape, a small green lens exam light and an Epipen. http://i800.photobucket.com/albums/yy285/docrock184/DSC00600.jpg One of the best things about this bag was its wide open layout. As soon as you open it pretty much everything is right there for you. http://i800.photobucket.com/albums/yy285/docrock184/DSC00597.jpg Below the zippered pouch in the first of the open top kangaroo pouches I have 2 NPAs with lube, a NARP cyclone pocket BVM, an EZ Suction bulb and a Size 5 King LT kit. http://i800.photobucket.com/albums/yy285/docrock184/DSC00598.jpg Beneath that was part of my bleeding kit, its got three rolls of Quick clot combat gauze, three 6" Emergency trauma dressings and a large abdominal sized ETD. http://i800.photobucket.com/albums/yy285/docrock184/DSC00599.jpg Under that has four rolls of S-rolled gauze, two hemcon bandages, two ACE wraps, two cravats, and a NARP Crikit. The Crikit is sort of out of place in the bleeding pouch, but it was the only place where it would fit. In the back mesh pocket I've got two unrolled SAM splints and a c-collar as it is a necessity in the event of a vehicle rolling over. Im impressed!!! |

Some excellent kits in here!  I'm in the process of reorganizing, and adding to my med pouches. I broke the cardinal rule of not mixing your BOK items with your IFAK stuff! GSW / Bleeder kit should be kept separate from your individual BooBoo Kit, IMHO. I loaded all of mine up into one pouch, and mama done told me not to put all yer eggs in one basket. Placeholder for posting my kit as soon as my new stuff arrives from TacMedSolutions.

My usual BOK, PC mounted SO Tech SOF IFAK. I wear it up front where I can get to it without having to get out of my vest or have a buddy access it. First rule: SELF AID.
Open view: 
Contents: 
CAT Tourniquet (I'm not a fan but it supplements the SOF tourniquets on my PC and right lower leg pocket) Quick clot gauze x 2 Tape dummy corded to pouch Safety pins gloves (go in the outside sleeve of the IFAK) Saranwrap wrapped around a piece of cardboard and stored in heavy duty mylar pouch. Good for wrapping around abdominal wounds, keeping gauze in place when the wound site is wet or also as a chest seal. Pressure bandage Kerlix gauze wrap x 2 Z-pack dressing, highly absorbant Razor knife (on dummy cord) Decompression needle Small Streamlight flash light with blue, green, IR filter on dummy cord. Sharpie (obviously) Asherman Chest Seal Naso-pharyngeal airway. I don't pack the surgilube because it keeps bursting in my IFAK. Blood/snot/spit will work just fine. Alternate BOK, Mojo fanny pack. I wear this when I'm going light with just mags and radio on the PC. I can slide it around back and if I need it I can slide it back around with one hand.

How good are the cav tourniquets? (sorry if this has been asked previous) http://www.cavalrymanufacturing.com/medical/ICMK.html ETA: Just spoke with the owner of Cav. Great guy, very knowledgeable. Pointed him to this thread. I'll let him explain the new Cav tourniquets. |

I'm seeing some really nice IFAK kits, but do any of you actually know how to use them if you were in a situation that required it??? not trying to be a dick, but this applies the same as your vest and such, try it out to make sure it works and you can use it properly
I mean has anyone even used an NP tube? I'm not sure if the civilian side has its own version of a combat life saver course but if you haven't had any medical training, I recommend taking it. If you have all that medical gear and have no idea on its proper use then its worthless. just my $0.02 |
