Why Supplemental Oxygen Is Important For First Aid Kits

During a health emergency, it’s common to see first responders and EMTs administering medical-grade oxygen to patients. Oxygen is essential for life. Did you know that oxygen can be administered to ANYONE because no one is allergic to oxygen? Your body uses oxygen to create energy, for brain health, to keep tissues and organs functioning properly, for metabolization and more. So adding supplemental oxygen to any home or workplace emergency kit only makes sense.

Wussten Sie, dass nach Angaben der CDC fast die Hälfte der US-Haushalte nicht über die richtigen Ressourcen oder Pläne für den Fall eines Hausnotfalls verfügen?

Die meisten medizinischen Notfälle ereignen sich zu Hause, und obwohl man sicherlich nicht für ALLE Arten von Notfällen planen kann, kann man ein zuverlässiges Notfallset haben, um sich selbst oder einem geliebten Menschen in den wichtigen Minuten vor dem Eintreffen des Rettungsdienstes zu helfen.

In any home emergency kit, it’s important to have band-aids, gauze pads, gloves, alcohol pads, aspirin, burn gel, antibiotic ointment, tape, tweezers and scissors. Thanks to Boost Oxygen 95% Pure Oxygen canisters, portable supplemental oxygen can now be added to any home or workplace emergency kit.

“I have devoted my entire clinical career to preserving life and keeping people alive in difficult situations” said Lt. General Paul K. Carlton, former Surgeon General of the United States Air Force, recently retired Director, Office of Innovations and Preparedness for Texas A&M and currently on the Board of Advisors for Chinook Medical. “With Boost Oxygen in Chinook’s Adult and Child MyPak, portable supplemental oxygen is now available during any emergency situation. In addition, Boost Oxygen should be placed in every first aid kit and resuscitation station in our country.”
