How to use the contents of the kit?
Start with safety: check that the scene poses no danger to you or the casualty, and put on the gloves from the kit. Call for help on 999 or 112. For massive bleeding, apply direct pressure to the wound using a pad from the bleeding control kit and secure it with an elastic bandage. Choose the kit to suit the wound: the 14 x 23 cm pad or the smaller 8 x 12 cm one. Dressings and bandages are single-use.
The one-way mask is used for giving rescue breaths during CPR, and the emergency blanket and the other items complement the help given until the emergency services arrive. Details on how to deal with bleeding are described in the article Chapter II – Massive bleeding – first aid.
