The AI-2 personal first aid kit is an outdated version of a set of tools for first aid and mutual assistance in case of injury or after the use of weapons of mass destruction.
Non-staff emergency response units (NASF)
As a rule, these are independent structures formed on a freelance basis, but equipped with all the necessary equipment, materials and tools for carrying out during emergencies.
They are created on the basis of collectives of state institutions and undergo special training courses on how to act in emergency situations. With these people, algorithms of behavior are being worked out, which must be memorized to automatism. Then certification is carried out, and if everything goes well, then the unit receives permission from the Ministry of Emergency Situations to participate in the aftermath of emergency situations.
Civil Defense
These are also freelance formations created in each organization to carry out state civil defense activities. Their function is not associated with a direct threat to the life and he alth of people during an emergency. But by providing all possible assistance, they help prevent an increase in the number of victims. Each squadcivil defense has its purpose:
- surveillance and intelligence (bacteriological, chemical, biological, engineering);
- debris clearance;
- rescuers;
- technicians;
- firefighters;
- protection (radiation, chemical, biological).
Appearance
The AI-2 first aid kit is an orange plastic box, inside of which there are two rows of medicine bottles and a disposable syringe for their administration. In addition, NASF was given an individual anti-chemical package, a set of individual civil protection, anti-burn and dressing packages, a soft stretcher, a sanitary bag with a first aid kit.
Since 2008, such equipment, such as the AI-2 first aid kit, is no longer issued not only to army structures, but also to civilian units. Instead, there are AI-4 and AI-N-2.
Composition
This is a list of medicines contained in the AI-2 first aid kit. Its composition may vary, so the average version is given.
- Painkiller is a syringe tube with a two percent solution of "Promedol" (morphine in some kits), the route of administration is intramuscular.
- The antidote for FOV (organophosphorus substances) is usually the drug "Taren". The small red case contains six tablets. To prevent poisoning, take one tablet and put on a gas mask. If symptoms such as miosisdeterioration in vision, shortness of breath, nevertheless appeared, it is necessary to take another pill, but not earlier than six hours after the first one.
- The antibiotic sulfadimethoxine is in the form of tablets in a sealed vial. It is taken in violation of the function of the gastrointestinal tract caused by a bacterial infection. A single dose of seven tablets, then four tablets every day.
- The radioprotective agent is Cystamine tablets. It is taken for the prevention of radioactive radiation. An hour before the expected radiation, six tablets must be taken, by the time of the threat, the effect will manifest itself, but if the duration of stay in the radioactive territory exceeds six hours, the tablets must be repeated at the same dose.
- An antibiotic of a wide spectrum of action - "Tetracycline". They are taken not only for bacterial infection, but also after burns and injuries as a preventive measure. A single dose is five tablets. Take twice, six hours apart.
- Antiemetic - "Etaperazine". Instead, it can still be "Aeron". It is indicated after radiation exposure, as well as after concussions, craniocerebral injuries, poisoning, if nausea or vomiting occurs. A single dose is one tablet. The action lasts four to five hours, if the symptoms persist, then the tablets should be taken one every four hours.
- Potassium iodide tablets - a remedy that protects the thyroid gland from radioactive iodine. One tablet is taken half an hour before the expected exposure or beforeeating radioactive products. If radiation is supposed to be spent in the zone for more than a day, then every 12 hours you need to take another pill.
Features and recommendations
The individual AI-2 first aid kit, the composition of which is presented above, is somewhat outdated in its configuration. It does not contain modern antibiotics that could be used as a replacement for "Tetracycline" or "Sulfadimethoxic", and there are no sedatives. As practice shows, they are necessary in an emergency. Therefore, the civilian population is advised to carry tranquilizers such as Sibazon or Phenozepam.
The AI-2 first aid kit is designed for an adult. For a child under eight years of age, all doses should be divided into four parts, and for a teenager - into two parts.
Modifications
The AI-N-2 first aid kit deserves special mention. Special forces and other military special forces use it for long-term autonomous use, as well as providing assistance to victims. It contains thirty types of drugs, compactly packed in a small convenient bag, which distinguishes it from the previous version.
The AI-2 first aid kit has already been discontinued, it can only be found as an exhibition copy.
