scottb Posted October 11, 2009 Report Share Posted October 11, 2009 (edited) Just thinking out loud here...I am kinda new to OR and dont really know a lot of people here, outside of the 2 rides I went on. In case something happens during a ride, is there anyone here that is an EMT or first responder or even a boy/girl scout? If a person had the skills to respond to an issue, I am sure they would step up if needed, but might be good to know prior to departing on a ride? I took a CRP class about 20 years ago in high school, I THINK I could do CPR if I had to...Any thoughts? Edited October 11, 2009 by scottb seems i can't spell CPR...

PrincessPratt Posted October 11, 2009 Report Share Posted October 11, 2009 I'm a nurse practitioner but I currently work in palliative medicine (meaning my patient population has a life limiting illness already) thus my skills are a bit dusty although I have thumped on a few chests in my time:D. I used to work as an RN prior to becoming a CNP at grant hospital which is a level one trauma center. I don't go on rides tho on twisties anymore but the other medical professionals that do are more than qualified to handle CPR, Cspine, etc prior to arrival of medics.

There is no guarantee that the next vehicle that comes down the road will stop. Secondary accidents at the scene of an accident are very common. Post road guards out both directions to slow traffic down.I have a med/aid kit I sometimes carry on the bike. More than just first aid. Some tools, flares, lumen sticks, hydration, etc. Along with basic and advanced first aid items. I know some other people carry stuff also.Most common motorcycle related injuries:1. eye injuries: foreign objects, sunburn, dry and irritated, etc2. burns: sunburn, exhaust pipe burns, etc3. abrasions: scuffs, bumps, bruises, cuts, etcI'd add bug bites to the list. Not bad to have an anti-toxin for stings and bites.There are lists on the internet for making your own first aid kit for the motorcycle. But some of them seem to be way too extensive. Your best first aid is a phone to summon aid, and the ability to describe where you are. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Could backpack it i guess.Store bought kits for motorcycles come in all sizes and prices. A smaller one would be easy to store in a pocket or on the bike somewhere. Larger ones need an ambulance to haul them around.I'm sure something would have to be added or be missing, no kit has everything. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ReconRat Posted October 11, 2009 Report Share Posted October 11, 2009 Where are some First Responder classes? Some of us want to go. Some of us should go. Where are the classes, and is anyone willing to take them? I'll check at work this week and see if the EMT instructors do weekend classes like that.

SAMBUSA Posted October 11, 2009 Report Share Posted October 11, 2009 Not an EMT but I've been thru the CPR and trauma training. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
scottb Posted October 11, 2009 Author Report Share Posted October 11, 2009 I checked the Red Cross website, they offer some basic classes like CPR and Defib. classes. They even offer some on-line classes, then you take an "in-office" test for the on line classes. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
