What Constitutes Basic Paramedic Equipment?
First responders are known for their quick
decisions and life saving actions. We rely on
them in emergency situations to administer
advanced medical treatment. While their training
is vital to their success, they are only as good
as their equipment. If they have well-stocked,
well equipped medical trauma bags they offer
excellent care. However, if the bag doesnt have
the appropriate trauma supplies in the bag, their
care would be considerably limited.
Basic Equipment Paramedics professional first
responders who have been well trained to deal
with any pre-hospital emergency they are called
upon. Using their training, they make life and
death decisions and face the unimaginable often
in their careers. It is, without question, one of
the most difficult jobs on the planet. Their
training and their equipment allow them to
respond quickly and efficiently.

The Most Common EMS Supplies
It is imperative first responders have the proper
gear and emergency medical bags to respond in an
efficient manner to emergency situations. They
rely on a wide range of equipment which provides
information to help guide their decisions. The
nature of the job is unpredictable. There is no
way to know what type of care will be needed when
they respond to the next emergency.
That is why it is imperative Paramedics are
prepared and equipped for a wide variety of
emergency situations. One of the most relied upon
pieces of equipment are emergency medical bags or

technology advances, homes, industry, and

practices once reserved for the medical
industry. Sanitizing wipes and sprays were once
only used by the medical industry, now you see

expected.

First Aid Basics When You Go Hiking by Jennifer
May
First Aid Basics When You Go Hiking
Canada has an incredible 7 million square
kilometers of wilderness covering 23 of the
country. In fact the only country that has a
larger area of wilderness in the world is Russia.
Having such a vast amount of wilderness makes
Canada a haven for wildlife and perfect for
hiking. If you are heading out for the day, or
even going on a hiking vacation, it is important
that you take a well-stocked first aid kit. From
blisters to cuts and bruises, you should make
sure that you have everything necessary to treat
minor injuries, aches and pains. 
Mosquitoes are extremely common in Canada between
the months of May and September. Manitoba is well
known as the province that has the most
mosquitoes, and due to the colder temperatures,
they can grow very large by the time they reach
maturity. Mosquitoes are very active in the
evenings, and where the surrounding environment
is damp and shady. You will also find an
abundance of mosquitoes near any area of fresh
water, where they lay their eggs. In your first
aid kit you should carry an antihistamine cream
to treat any bites and some cooling lotion for
the itchy symptoms. If you are particularly prone
to mosquito bites, take preventative measures,
like using an insect repellent spray.
