How to prepare a medical backpack for use?
Arrange the equipment so that the most urgent items are within reach. Put the scissors in the pocket intended for them, and attach the rescue blanket at the designated points. In an emergency, first make sure you are safe and call for help on 999 or 112. In massive bleeding, direct pressure is applied, and a tourniquet is indicated when bleeding from a limb is life-threatening. Specialist equipment from the backpack should be used by a trained person.
A backpack is no substitute for skills, so it is worth practising where the equipment is placed before you need it. You can read more about equipment for massive bleeding in the article A first aid kit ready for massive bleeding.
