Remote Medikit, this any good?

Sounds good. We use the small rolls of wrap but never go around any part of the patient, always along in strips overlapping as needed.

Try doing the cling film as you describe in a dry run and video it. then look at the video and see how you tore the cling film, what the cling film touched and ask yourself was that a "clean" procedure? most people will put cling film onto a table, rest it on kit, leave the roll open, and i have even seen the cling film placed on the floor to cut it.

Not very hugienic and a great introducer for Bacteria to a wound site.

Just be aware that altyhough a good piece of kit for airway management in an operating theatre or where a casualty is not being moved, The I-Gel is easilly dislodged when moving a casualty and the person maintaining airway management can easilly fall into a false sense of security by thinking that the I-gel is correctly placed.

I have seen ET Tubes dislodged when moving casualties and these have been "Secured" before moving. so be aware of this with the I-Gel

Completely agree, Phecta, you've always got to assume that any airway can be dislodged or displaced at any moment, especially with movement. I always tie them, as I always tie a tube - it won't prevent all dislodegements, but it does help, especially if the teeth are missing.
