The advantages of keeping a boat emergency kit

Boat Emergency Kit


It’s always exciting to sail in a yacht or a boat. Sailing gives you unmatched freedom from the distractions of the land and takes you to the calmness of the deep blue waters.
While being away from the shore has many advantages. It can be highly inconvenient in the time of a health emergency. It might take you time to receive help depending on how far away you are from land. So it's important to be able to have access to medical equipment and essential medical supplies on board to have things under control until you receive help.
A yacht, boat, or any sea voyaging vessel needs to have an emergency medical kit because of this.

Yacht Medical Kit or Boat Emergency Kit

A fully equipped Yacht medical kit or boat emergency kit has several components. First thing is a complete boat first aid kit with bandages, gauze, sterile wipes, crepe bandage roll, antibiotic ointment, burn gel, gloves, painkillers, scissors, and motion sickness tablets.

Then you must include an emergency light with extra batteries, fully maintained fire extinguishers, a well-maintained radio device (you also need to have a clear knowledge on what channel to contact in an emergency on your radio device), non–perishable food with a can opener, and finally several shock blankets.

These items usually provide aid for various emergencies that you might face offshore. However, it's always a great idea to listen to your boat emergency kit supplier's opinion about what else you need to have in there.

Uses of Defibrillator and the Help It Renders In Attending a Patient

A defibrillator is a medical technique which is used to prevent ventricular fibrillation which is a common cause of cardiac arrest. The use of defibrillator is quite easy. However, due to the lack of knowledge many people use it in the wrong way. Here are the things you should check before using it. If you find someone having difficulty in breathing or choking due to the inability to breathe, calling the emergency number is the call of time. Other than that, you can start the CPR to keep a continuous supply of blood within the body. On the contrary, without CPR, the chance of death increases for the person. In case you're without anyone else, don't stop the CPR to go and get a defibrillator. In case it is not available, send another person to find the same for you. When you call 999, the administrator can let you know whether there's a community defibrillator close-by. When you open the equipment as provided by the defibri...
