SHOULD FIRST AID KITS BE LOCATED?<\/h4>\n<p>First aid kits should be available quickly and easily accessible in emergency situations.<\/p>\n<p>First aid kit bags and\/or cabinets should be stored in places away from direct sunlight, and the bodies and lids of first aid kit bags and\/or cabinets should not be transparent or see-through.<br \/>\nSunlight has a negative effect on the packaging of first aid products in bags and cabinets, causing them to lose their effectiveness before their expiry date or sterile products to deteriorate. <\/p>\n<p>First aid kits should be located in easily visible places and should be equipped with up-to-date materials that have not expired.<br \/>\nIn addition, the contents should be checked regularly, expired materials should be replaced and missing ones should be completed.<br \/>\nFor this purpose, it is recommended to place a control band on the bag and cabinet.  <\/p>\n<p>The points to be considered when positioning first aid kits can be summarized as follows;<\/p>\n<h5>AT HOME<\/h5>\n<p>It should be out of the reach of children but within easy reach of people familiar with emergency situations.<br \/>\nIn frequently used areas such as kitchens or bathrooms, it can be located in high cabinets or mounted on walls. <\/p>\n<h5><strong>WORKSPACES<\/strong><\/h5>\n<p>It should be located in workplaces, factories, offices or infirmary rooms, especially at a point accessible to people familiar with emergencies.<\/p>\n<h5><strong>IN VEHICLES<\/strong><\/h5>\n<p>In cars, it can be stored in the trunk or in an easily accessible compartment.<br \/>\nIn buses and trucks, it should be kept in an easily accessible place inside the vehicle, especially around the driver&#8217;s seat. <\/p>\n<h5><strong>EDUCATION INSTITUTIONS<\/strong><\/h5>\n<p>It should be located in the infirmary room of the educational institution or at points accessible to people who are knowledgeable about emergencies.<\/p>\n<h5><strong>SPORTS HALLS AND STADIUMS<\/strong><\/h5>\n<p>It can be found in the authorized doctor&#8217;s or nurse&#8217;s paramedic bag, or at points accessible to people familiar with emergencies.<\/p>\n<h5><strong>IN PUBLIC SPACES<\/strong><\/h5>\n<p>It should be kept in the infirmary rooms of places with large areas such as beaches, shopping malls, bus stations, train stations, or at one or more points accessible to the person who is knowledgeable about emergencies in the organization.<\/p>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div

reflect sunlight in hot weather and gold is used to retain sunlight in cold weather.<\/p>\n<p>Although the silver color is used in all environments, the gold color is mainly used in snowy areas for easy visibility.<br \/>\nIn Turkey, it is also referred to as &#8220;burn cover&#8221;, but this is not correct. <\/p>\n<p>Areas where the emergency blanket is used:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>As a sleeping cover<\/li>\n<li>As an emergency column (in the process of folding and binding)<\/li>\n<li>As a medical tourniquet<\/li>\n<li>It is used to protect the person from exposure to sun heat or external factors such as cold and rain.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>It can be produced in more than one size.<br \/>\nThe basically accepted size is 160 cm x 210 cm for a two-color product.<br \/>\nHowever, the most commonly used size for a one-color product is 150 cm x 200 cm.  <\/p>\n<h5><strong>GAS COMPRESS<\/strong><\/h5>\n<p>As open wound care and treatment, it is used to remove tissue fluids from the wound and to protect the tissue.<\/p>\n<p>It reduces the risk of infection in the wound because it is surgically folded so that the thread does not come out of the edges.<br \/>\nThe word gas actually refers to cotton tulle fabric.<br \/>\nFor this reason, this product, which has been produced from porous fabrics woven with cotton yarn for many years, is now also produced from nonwoven fabrics with today&#8217;s technology.<br \/>\nSince it is used in open wounds, it is prepared in sterilized single or maximum 5-packs.<br \/>\nThe most commonly used sizes are 5 cm x 5 cm, 7.5 cm x 7.5 cm, 10 cm x 10 cm and 10 cm x 15 cm.    <\/p>\n<h5><strong>COTTON<\/strong><\/h5>\n<p>It is used to clean the wound with oxygenated water, antiseptic, antibacterial and alcohol solutions.<\/p>\n<p>It is produced in 50 gr and 100 gr packages.<\/p>\n<h5><strong>INSTANT COLD COMPRESS<\/strong><\/h5>\n<p>It is a chemical product that does not require storage conditions and acts as ice therapy.<br \/>\nThe package contains a liquid sac and chemical granules.<br \/>\nWhen the liquid sac is burst by applying pressure, the liquid spills over the granules and the chemical action begins.  <\/p>\n<p>The package is shaken to accelerate the chemical action.<br \/>\nWithin 15-20 seconds, it becomes ready to start cold treatment. <\/p>\n<p>Cold treatment is applied for 15-20 minutes depending on the room temperature.<\/p>\n<h5><strong>COLD GEL COMPRESS<\/strong><\/h5>\n<p>Before cold treatment is applied, it is kept in the freezer of the refrigerator and taken out for treatment and treatment is started.<\/p>\n<p>13cm x 13cm and 13cm x 26cm are the most commonly used sizes.<\/p>\n<h5><strong>ALCOHOLIC WIPES  <\/strong><\/h5>\n<p>It is used to clean the injection site before the injection or to clean the blood from the injection after the intervention.<\/p>\n<p>It is used to clean around the wound in first aid.<br \/>\nIt is preferred in mini first aid sets thanks to its small size. <\/p>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-c6858a8 elementor-widget elementor-widget-image\" data-id=\"c6858a8\"

site.\nWith this product you can clean hands, face or an appliance. <\/p>\n<h5><strong>SOLUTION, 10% POVIDONE IODINE<\/strong><\/h5>\n<p>It is used to clean around the wound and reduce the risk of

pain and soreness of the burn area, cools the skin and prevents infection from environmental factors.\nBy providing temperature control of the burn area, it reduces the damage during the journey to

<\/strong><\/h5>\n<p>There are 3 most common types in this product.\nProducts classified as latex, nitrile and vinyl have these names due to their production raw material.\nThere are also subgroups as sterile, non-sterile or powdered and powder-free according to the usage areas of the products.\nThey are used in surgical procedures to prevent the transmission of germs to the patient or the practitioner and to reduce the risk of infection.\nIt is one of the most important products that first aiders should use for their own safety before intervening in an accident victim.    <\/p>\n<h5><strong>MEDICAL TOURNIQUET<\/strong><\/h5>\n<p>It is used to make it easy to find the vein during blood collection, injection and IV drip insertion, and to slow down, limit or stop the blood flow caused by injuries to the arm and leg.\nIt is produced in three types: keyless, keyed and rotating lever.\nThe type with rotation lever is generally used in the military field.  <\/p>\n<p>Serum rubber bands are also used in places where medical applications are performed as they are easy to keep.<\/p>\n<h5><strong>MEDICAL MASK<\/strong><\/h5>\n<p>In emergency situations, it is important that the first aid team or the competent first responder takes their own safety precautions before intervening with the victim.\nMask is one of the most commonly used protective products after gloves.\nGenerally, 2 or 3 layers of nonwoven fabric are preferred.\nRubberized products are the most commonly used models for easy use.   <strong>&nbsp;<\/strong><\/p>\n<h5><strong>ARTIFICIAL RESPIRATION MASK  <\/strong><\/h5>\n<p>It is used to give oral respiratory support to the patient in emergency situations.\nDue to its structure, it has a design that prevents the air given in such a way that it does not come back and prevents fluid from passing between the respiratory support and the area.\nIn this way, the safety of the person performing first aid is ensured.  <\/p>\n<h5><strong>NECKNECK&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; <\/strong><\/h5>\n<p>It is used to stabilize the neck area after trauma before the victim is
