Why choose the TRAUMA KIT R-0 airway first aid kit?
This module brings together in one place what is useful when the airway is at risk and with a chest injury: two BCS Chest Seal Vented dressings, nasopharyngeal airways in two sizes and two Pocket-type CPR masks. The masks make it possible to give rescue breaths while protecting both the Rescuer and the casualty from infection. The module, TRAUMA KIT R-0 airway first aid kit, contains two vented dressings and two Pocket-type CPR masks.
The modular design means the kit can be attached to other elements of the TRAUMA KIT R-0 system, and with its compact dimensions of 22 × 13 × 9 cm the set can also be used on its own. We describe how to give rescue breaths in the article Mouth-to-mouth in practice: how to ventilate a casualty correctly? The TRAUMA KIT R-0 airway first aid kit can be combined with the other modules of the R-0 system.
Rules for using the module in an emergency
First assess the safety of the scene and your own safety, then call for help on 999 or 112. Pocket-type CPR masks are used for rescue breaths, and BCS Chest Seal Vented dressings for treating a chest injury. Nasopharyngeal airways should be used only by a trained person.
The basics of resuscitation are recalled in the article Basic life support: CPR. A bystander taking action can decide whether the casualty survives.
