Burn dressings and gels are a must in any kit! I've used it quite a few times! Today I scaled my under wrist on a steamer! And I had a burn dressing which I used and applied a bandage with help of course! As it was a while since he had done his first aid training I guided him how to apply the bandage! I always keep a stash of this! Encase I burn myself! I ran it under cold tap! I could feel myself going into what I think was shock so I made a sweet cuppa tea with lists of sugar! That helped overcome the shock! I didn't need to goto a+e as it wasn't too bad once I ran it under cold tap and added a burn dressing! First time I used a dressing! Years of first aid training kicked in! As awhile ago I had to administer emergency first aid for choking! At my school! Luckily I managaged to get the blockage out on the 5th blow! And luckily I didn't need to press our staff help alarm or shout out code for staff assistance! I was on my own in a class with a few trusted students and I was the only first aid trained person in the room! And I knew it was a full blockage! As she was trying to punch her chest and not breathing nor coughing! I'm not going to name her for obvious reasons! And years of first aid training from your company and was the first time i had to do it! I forgot my training but it came back within a few seconds! Luckily I did not have to do adomonial thrusts thank god!
I'm a student Paramedic and we are taught to never use gel dressings as there is no evidence that they work at all. In fact evidence is suggesting that they can relieve pain initally but cause issues down the line due to vasoconstriction from rapid cooling. his is the same reason you never use ice on a burn. So definately NOT a must have in any kit.
@@adambailey994 how do I know it's true and your not pretending to be a paramedic to fool me And tell me they are not safe when you have potentially no facts , of using them! If they was not safe they wouldn't sell them! Plus if your not near cold water unfortunately this would be your only chance! I'll believe you if you prove it to me! Other than that then it's is a must have In first aid kits! I know you don't put Ice on a burn nor a towel soaked on cold water due to cotton falling off into the burn! It used to be the case of server burns to warp a cold water soaked towel round the burn site. But not anymore!
No commercial burns dressings are NOT a must in a first aid kit. The very fact they are included speaks to the confusion caused by their introduction given every all the major institution now recommend water cooling and simple dressing. This approach has also been adopted by all the major first aid bodies. I note your new video dated Feb 2022 talks about cling film dressing and briefly mentions cooling.
To clear up your confusion, note how the casualty is outside, and doesn’t have access to 20mins of cold running water. That is the scenario to use gel burn dressings In. When clean running water isn’t available
@@piratecaribou4337 No sorry there is no confusion. The current international standard for burn first aid is water cooling and simple dressing. And studies have determined it is effective up to 3 hours after a burn event. Hydrogel dressings are one of the great commercial first aid con jobs of the century. Now the standard for burn first aid has been largely established you can't even get a consensus among the hydrogel companies on where this dodgy product line fits into the picture. Yet they try to flog it in the only medium that now provides access to sales opportunities - in "burn" first aid kits. Unfortunately the very first aid bodies trying to do exactly that are contradicting their own protocols and educational material used for public classes. All these products do is muddy the waters. I should know. I have personally published multiple articles in the medical literature on the subject, presented at 2 internationals burns conferences on the topic, co-wrote a major international burns associations burn first aid guidelines, and worked for 31 years as a paramedic used the product in the field and ultimately saw our own guidelines changed to dump them. Hydrogel burns dressing simply need to disappear form burn first aid. The argument you have suggested is the go to excuse used by these companies to try to find some sort of loophole to fit into practice.

@@piratecaribou4337 Sorry for the tardy response. To address your reply directly - so why, if the patient is "outside" is there any more likelihood that a gel dressing will magically be on hand to provide treatment? Its a logical inconsistency never addressed by proponents of gel burns dressings. In fact there is a far more likely scenario that water from somewhere is way more likely to be available than a burns dressing unless you suggest most of the population of any given country have gel burns dressings in the boot of their cars or in a box at home? Besides - gel burns dressings are a fraud unsupported by any decent evidence as to their efficacy let alone the fact water cooling is effective for up to 3 hours after a burn injury event.

exclamation point!!!!
I have never suggested anyone get something like this in my life until now. If you have kids, YOU NEED HYDROGEL BURN PADS. they are a life saver.
