Thread needs pictures.
Some items for scale, the white background is an A4 sheet of paper.
Spread out on the paper is a CPR face shield, an older heavy duty version, the green oval in the middle is a one way valve to protect the user from anything the patient has Hep/HIV etc etc or good old vomit and blood.
Bottom right is a newer Face shield these are very slimmed down and super light, you can get one on a key ring pouch for a few pounds, most of the staff I work with carry one of these, always on them. Next to that is my shoulder flash, I am a basic ACA and play with Ambulances. Not a Paramedic, only do emergency if I am First Person On Scene (FPOS, now superceded by FREC3).
First Response Emergency Care level3
Left side, yellow box contains a Pocket Mask, again fairly cheap, you can replace the blow valve, mask is reusable. This is a combination CPR mask that can be hooked directly to Oxygen. Bit chunky.
Middle. Orange stick is something I knocked up as a TQ stick, alu tube with carbon inner (HHSFA) :) below that is my work pen, a Boker MPP, I got it for the window breaker and possible leverage device and it doesn't break when 3ton of ambulance drives over it. A free pen from Barclays in case I have to do a TQ and don't want to loose my posh pen (unless I have to do a second TQ) and a humble triangle bandage.
