  1. Also take a look at RemoteMedical.com for courses in the US. The Remote Medicine for the Advanced Provider course would be a good starting point.
  2. Well back when I was on the street we used the KED a lot for peds, I have also splinted legs and hips with one. Turn it upside down, it works great as a pelvic girdle and the top helps immobilize the affected leg at the same time. Even used a KED as a lifting device with a pt stuck in a gravel chute up to his hips and sinking fast. There lots of uses for safety pins – put one across the end of a NPA to keep there, pin the tongue to pt cheek or T-shirt or a variety of T-shirt options. A 6.0 ETT can used nasally or orally and don’t forget when you cut it down it works great for a cric – better than a cut off 3ml syringe or IV flash chamber . You can use the NPA or an ETT for a chest tube in extreme situations. A Foley can be used to pack a nosebleed. I’ve had to use petroleum gauze dressing as candles during remote pt care. I could go on for a while on this, in remote settings we tend to carry less and have multiple uses for as much as possible.
