What I try to find out is which 5 medical conditions by numbers that cover as much work of an ER as possible that would benefit from FA in order to be able to identify the items I would like to include in my FAK and the skills I should acquire. So to everyone working as a paramedic, medical doctor and so on:
- What are the top 5 medical conditions (by number) in an ER which are NOT “cuts and bruises”
- For those conditions: which equipment besides sterile gloves, band aids, gauze pads, plaster and disinfectant that are available for the public should be included for the first aid of these treatments
- Are there special skills to be acquired for the first aid of these conditions besides general first aid education
Thanks in advance,
