Looking at this drop as an Army medic and certified paramedic, definitely not worth it. Not sure if they aren't allowed to add IV equipment but that's lacking alongside additional tourniquets, BVM, a portable pulsox, NCD's, Chest Seals, and a blood pressure cuff isn't listed but is shown in the picture unless I missed it. If you need a trauma bag, you're probably better off somewhere else or making your own.

ymin1202I am a day trading nurse. Where can I get a kit with the i.v pack you described?

SokoYou can buy the ones the army uses from North American Rescue for about 10 bucks. I personally don't like the saline locks in the pack but everything else works fine.

ymin1202Thank you! I only come to massdrop for ideas and love that people can tell you where to get things with out being eviscerated anally by customs charges and massdrop price gouging.

ymin1202I have to assume the $10 is a typo and you meant something like $400, at least I’m not finding any $10 kits. Edit: Ah, now I see you meant just the IV Kit, not a full kit with IV.

ymin1202I'm a paramedic as well, and I help with supply at my 911 service. This is NOT a "military trauma kit" but it's really not a bad deal price-wise..

ymin1202field trauma kits do not include ivs sutures pulsox or bp cuffs. that would be field SURGICAL kits or CLS/MES what you are issued as a medic is not a field trauma kit. there are several levels of " kits. from the IFAK , Field trauma, Combat Lifesaver Aid Bag , or General Purpose First Aid Kits . im sure as a medic you didnt carry JUST a field trauma kit ( nor was it referred to as such), not to mention they are all Mission specific..some may have certain ivs others will not, when using the general term field trauma kit, they do not have ivs or any of the things you mentioned that one is missing., ...as for this one or any other for sale online, no pre assembled rig is going to have everything one could possibly need. field gear below ALS care is made to stabilize and deal with two things...blood loss, and airway.....enough to get to more advanced life saving facilities. and everyone will fill theirs according to their perceived needs. without ALS, or intermediate/advanced medical training any of the things you listed as " missing" are worthless. i am sure the makers of this kit never intended it for anyone trained in field medicine. in fact the term trauma applies to an injury (such as a wound) to living tissue caused by an extrinsic agent . IE, paper cut to sucking chest would.... perspective......something many are lacking.
