I am doing research online for a class I am taking and I need to print a list of the items required for a first aid kit. The catch is it is a special list for Early Childhood Programs. I have been searching for quite a while and I am not getting anywhere. I am hoping someone can help. Thanks for your time!!

I had one of these in each of my pre school classes

* first-aid manual
* sterile gauze
* adhesive tape
* adhesive bandages in several sizes
* elastic bandage
* antiseptic wipes
* soap
* antibiotic cream (triple-antibiotic ointment)
* antiseptic solution (like hydrogen peroxide)
* hydrocortisone cream (1%)
* acetaminophen and ibuprofen
* extra prescription medications (if field trip)

* plastic gloves (at least 2 pairs)

what is Betadine for?

I'm just going to focus on what you need for wound care, and add a couple things.....
Open wounds....
Flush well with sterile 0.9% saline - the salt dehydrates and kills bacteria, and the flushing drowns them as it debrides the wound. Saline is isotonic, meaning it is balanced with body fluids, so it won't make healthy cells swell like plain water or other solutions do. Often the saline flush is all you need to do to treat a fresh wound.
On open wounds
Never use.....hydrogen peroxide, iodine preparation that is over 10% iodine in solution, caustics like wonder dust, or any other harsh chemical antiseptics. They destroy the healthy cells needed for healing, and then the dead cells become more food for bacteria, so they actually promote infection. By slowing healing, they also promote formation of proud flesh. Betadine is a 10% solution of iodine, so it is okay to use, but it is not isotonic, so saline is still a better choice for open wound flushes.

Wound dressings.....if any, use only water-based products....no oils or petroleum products which have been shown to interfere with the healing process. EMT ointment is excellent (the equine preparation). I use it for open wounds and lesions. It is a collagen gel that promotes healing, reduces pain and itching, and adheres well to prevent contamination by insects, etc.
It helps to prevent proud flesh by assisting the normal healing process.

Antibiotic ointments are usually oil/petroleum based, and using them contributes to developing antibiotic resistance. They are not the recommended treatment for open wounds, unless prescribed by your veterinarian.

Non-stick gauze...for wounds you don't want to disturb when changing dressings
Mesh fiber gauze...for wounds you want to be debrided by changing the dressing.
Elastikon tape....for securing bandage wraps
Kling bandage wrap....to wrap wounds that need to breathe, and to wrap areas where vetwrap is too rigid to use, such as above the hocks.
Cotton Sheeting....thick cotton squares for use under vetwrap or elastic bandages

The rest of what you need is already presented.

I just got the shock of my life when my Father finally let me free lease this amazing Quarter Horse! After I started to calm down, I realized I'll need a list of things to buy from the Tack shop. Now don't get me wrong, I have been preparing for this and know what to include in a grooming kit, but I'm afraid I might be forgetting something.
So, basically, just to make sure I'll be getting everything I was wondering if anyone had a list of supplies I will need for my Grooming and First Aid kits?

Thanks!
Katie

I'm starting a first aid kit for my horse...
I've seen many places where people say to add diapers to the list; what are horse diapers???
Also, what would you recommend I add to my first aid list?

1. 0.9% isotonic sterile saline.....the best wound treatment for any open wound is a flush with saline. Using about 15 lbs of pressure (moderate), and a syringe or squeeze bottle, a wound is flushed thoroughly. This debrides the wound, the salt dehydrates bacteria, killing it, and the flush also drowns additional microbes. Saline is balanced with body fluids. It won't swell healthy cells (which kills them), and doesn't destroy healthy tissue needed for healing.

Povidone Iodine, hydrogen peroxide, wound powders, and other harsh chemical compounds and solutions all are cytotoxic, meaning they destroy healthy cells. These cells become food for bacteria and encourage infection. By slowing healing, they encourage proud flesh. These are no longer recommended to use on any open or healing wounds.
Sterile saline is also safe to use as an eyewash.

2. Hydrogel or EMT ointment, or both.....antibiotic creams and oil based ointments are not recommended for wound treatment. They produce an immune rejection response which delays healing. They also create an alkaline environment that encourages fungal infection of the wound.
EMT is a collagen gel that adheres well, promotes healing, and prevents proud flesh. Hydrogel does the virtually the same. Both reduce scar tissue formation. Both keep the wound moist which is essential to healing. The collagen gel is also great for lesions such as scratches or others.

3. Kling bandage wrap for wrapping areas where vetwrap is too rigid, such as hocks. Elastikon tape to secure bandage wraps. Sterile gauze, both non-stick and fiber types. Use non-stick for most wounds, and the fiber gauze for wounds that require debriding when the dressing is removed.

4. Cotton balls, cotton pads (like makeup removal pads), and sterile cotton gauze for drying and debriding lesions and scabs, cleaning around wounds, etc.

Are you sure people don't mean to add infant disposable diapers, which can be used to make hoof poultices? I always have them on hand.
It looks like everything else is already listed here in other answers.

Add.....one more thing. I use K-Y jelly for sheath cleaning, and it is better to use K-Y as a lubricant for a rectal thermometer than vaseline, since K-Y is water soluble.
But the original formula. We use it for all lubricant applications as nurses, and it is good to have on hand.
