Vehicle 1st Aid Kit, what am I missing?

So does all the items on the list fit into the small medic bag?

You already have an excellent list going, but I thought I'd share mine as well if anyone's looking for a fast / easy way to assemble your kit.

I went through the (excellent) Wilderness First Responder (WFR) course from Remote Medical in 2010. Based on that experience, I assembled a shopping list on Amazon for all of the items I carry in our emergency kit for our round-the-world expedition in the EcoRoamer.

You can view the entire list here:

To be clear it's a medical emergency only bag, and separate from the Survival / Ditch Bag that we keep in the truck.

Also note, that since you can buy any of these items on Amazon, it doesn't include any of the medications we carry.

Hope that helps!

Cheers,
Jay.

2 items and a thought... protective gloves (I use the blue gloves from the garage)
and included a bottle of baby aspirin that is opened and on top (for heart attacks)
I also included a bunch more bandages and athletic tape after we (my wife, a nurse) ran out of band-aids, etc when she helped a young boy
cut bad on both feet from the rocks on the Outer Banks.

Good list so far!

Gloves: avoid latex. Many people are allergic to the stuff. Go with nitrile.
And a tip: put each pair into a ziploc bag. Practice learning to remove the gloves properly and put them in the ziploc. If you're transporting someone to the ER, bring the gloves along to be properly disposed of. If an ambulance ride is required, send them with EMS.

how about an small plastic syringe to clean out wounds
maybe an ace bandage
a space blanket
& a bandana that can be used for a torniquet or surgical tubing
