As a Remote Medical International instructor, I always carry a proper first aid kit with me when traveling. No matter where we work or adventure, the bare minimum in our first aid kits should include the tools to control bleeding, support breathing, and perform CPR. I have had the opportunity to put my kit to use recently, traveling Kauai’s Kalalau Trail. This rugged trail that traverses along the steep cliffs of the Na’ pali Coast. The lure of this trail is the paradise beach setting, but one must first make it through flash floods zones and slick, muddy trail. My partner, Ben, and I had planned a 4-day backpacking trip in the area. Unfortunately, not far into the hike, Ben kicked a rock with his Chaco-clad foot. Sure enough, there was quite the avulsion of skin atop his big toe and the nail was bent backward. Our biggest concern then became protecting the wound from infection. We quickly pulled out our first aid kit to find a syringe, irrigation cap, 4×4 gauze, and athletic tape. We did the best we could on the scene to debride the wound using the syringe and about a half liter of drinking water, then mustered a bandage strong enough to withstand the upcoming miles of the Kalalau Trail.

sq1med.com - Moving An Ill Or Injured Person- Emergency Moves

If you are in a situation where an ill or injured person is in need of first aid or CPR, but they are in a unsafe environment (such as a building that is on fire or a room with carbon monoxide fumes), you will need to move the person to a safer area. So how do you properly move that victim from Point A to Point B, especially if you are the only rescuer there?

First things first, it is always advised that if the surroundings are safe, you should NOT move a victim and provide first aid or start CPR right where they collapsed. The reason that we want to prevent any movement, is so that we do not make an existing injury any worse (i.e. spinal injury). But if you HAVE to move a victim from an unsafe area to a safer area, here are three techniques you can use:
