The Adventurer Rescue Swag also has a technological trick up its sleeve being able to couple with an offline smartphone app, that can prompt users with the appropriate steps to remembering their first aid training when placed in a stressful real-world emergency.<\/p>\n

The smartphone app cleverly recognizes QR scanner codes on the first aid kit compartments and will help the first aid practitioner into delivering a safe and effective treatment for anything from, burns, cuts, grazes, broken bones, snake bites and even help with performing CPR.<\/p>\n

It is important to be prepared when you find yourself in remote environments, as even when in populated areas, help isn\u2019t always readily accessible. When prepared for<\/p>\n

When you are in remote areas, it is important to quickly apply first aid practices as outlined below, to ensure maximum chances of survival;<\/p>\n

BITES AND STINGS<\/strong><\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

When someone encounters a seriously nasty bite from snakes, Funnel-Web spiders, and even blue ringed octopus, It is important to apply the steps below to ensure sufficient pressure bandaging and limb immobilization is implemented to prevent the spread of venom around the body;<\/p>\n

Firstly apply a firm heavy crepe or elasticised roller bandage (10\u201315 centimetres wide) starting 5-10cm above the bite location in overlapping turns moving first up towards the heart, then back down over the bite and past it towards the hand or foot.<\/p>\n

The bandage needs to be applied firmly to the limb. The correct pressure is necessary to slow the transmission of venom through the lymph system and into the blood stream. The bandage should be about as tight as when strapping a sprained limb and must NOT cut off blood flow, or even be uncomfortable; if it is uncomfortable, the person can and will unconsciously flex the limb, defeating the immobilisation portion of the therapy.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

The location of the bite should be clearly marked on the outside of the bandages for later treatment.<\/p>\n

Immobilise the bandaged limb using one or more splints. This is important to prevent pumping of blood through the victim\u2019s muscles resulting in the venom being spread quickly throughout the body.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

As with any life-threatening injury you should seek medical assistance AS SOON AS POSSIBLE.<\/p>\n

If you have an emergency PLB beacon, now is the time to set it off, if you don\u2019t have one, call for help on your vehicle mounted UHF Radio<\/strong><\/a> using duplex mode on stations 5 or 35 which are both reserved for emergency use only, if there is no response try again with Duplex mode switched off.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
