Howdy again everyone,

I'm getting slammed this week as the semester closes. I've had to complete several AP biology labs, take two AP Bio tests (covering metabolism, respiration, photosynthesis, and biochemistry), finish several essays for AP biology, take an APUSH test on Reconstruction with included Document Based Question (DBQ), as well as several write-ups for my mentoring. Ah, I'm glad I work well under pressure. In fact I usually can only function effectively under pressure. I love the stress.

I'm still getting the stuff together for my jump bag but I really haven't had a chance to yet. I need to still order some gauze and cravats; you know, consumable medical supplies. My supply list of things that I will place in the bag includes:

Trauma:
-8 Rolls of 3" Gauze
-20 4"x4" Dressings
-4 Occlusive Dressings (medium size)
-2 Rolls of 2" Tape
-1 Bottle (500 mL) Sterile Saline
-5 Cravats
-1 Pair of Hemostats
-50 Bandages (assorted sizes)
Airway/Breathing:
-1 Adult BVM (bag valve mask)
-1 Set of Oropharyngeal Airways (Oral Airways)
-1 Set of Nasopharyngeal Airways (Nasal Airways/Nasal Trumpets- this is a maybe)
Medical:
-1 Bottle of Activated Charcoal
-2 Tubes of Glutose (glucose paste)
-1 Obstetrics Kit
-1 Glucometer Kit (Glucometer, lancets, test strips, alcohol prep pads, etc.)
Diagnostics:
-1 Adult Blood Pressure Cuff
-1 Stethoscope
-1 Penlight
-1 Wind-up Watch
Miscellaneous:
-2 Medium-sized Notepads
-4 Patient Care Charts and Tracking Information
-1 Cell Phone

I will post pictures as soon as I get the thing set up. Keep in mind that this is not all of it, just things that I remember off the top of my head.

I figure I'll keep it in my car and also keep it in the dorm when I go off to college. I also have an iron-on star of life which I might put on the bag so that it is more identifiable.

Will post more when I have time.

Keep safe everyone,
Bravomedic out.
