Our OFFSHORE Medical kit! - SV Delos Safety Series Part 1

Our offshore medical kit has come together over many years of cruising! It’s based on recommendations from marine physicians and our own personal experiences of the trip. We've wanted to make this video for a long time and we hope it helps you to to decide what is important for you to have onboard! Please visit svdelos.com/safety for links and resources mentioned in this video.
In this video we cover how the kit came together, how it's organized, and what the major components are. We even recount some of the medical problems we've had and how we've dealt with them, both where medical care is and isn't available.
We highly recommend visiting a physician specializing in marine medicine that can tailor a kit for your offshore plans. Fair winds, peace and love! The Delos Crew
Wanna binge watch? We have 6 seasons of videos going all the way back to the beginning of the adventure- svdelos.com/youtube-sailing-v...
We’re completely crowd-funded and not beholden to the pressures of advertisers or corporate sponsors. We get to try out and review products without bias, and continue to spread warmth and positivity. All contributions go directly to support sailing, video editing, and of course a few cold ones to smooth the editing process. Thank you for keeping our videos free and available for everyone!

Sailing SV Delos You guys should invest in a AED (Automated External Defibrillator) as well. An Oxygen Pulse Meter as well. Great setup otherwise, really like the Oxygen unit that y’all found.

[@roberttorres809]

Sailing SV Delos So, your telling me that you need to have a license to carry on your boat a portable hyperbaric chamber ???

[@slamhead]

Having had a brother die of anaphylactic shock on a boat I research starting a non profit and providing free epi pens for med kits on commercial charter fishing boats and such. It was discouraging to find out you need a prescription for epi pens. They cost $300 to $600

[@celticridertraining]

awesome

[@Blazer02LS]

slamhead That is mainly because Epi-Pen is a trademarked item. As such if you get a prescription for Epi-Pen you get to pay for the name. The same medication in a generic epinephrine auto-injector run about $110.00 for a two pack. Currently though there is a shortage of them on the market because of manufacturing issues. IF you are willing to use a syringe and not an automatic unit you can get the same drug for MUCH less.

[@gotmilkpunk]

Hey Delos Crew! Just a little side note; as a former EMT, I use to have friends ask me all the time about using Hydrogen Peroxide (H2O2) to clean wounds, and they would wonder why the wounds would never heal. The secret to using H2O2 is to only use it for the initial cleaning, because not only does it do a great job of killing off bacteria and dead skin cells, it also does a great job of killing new or undamaged tissue as well. So, the long of the short, only use H2O2 for the initial cleaning of a wound, and then make sure you are using a bandage that breaths and allows the wound to dry. Just a friendly side bar :-) Love you guys and give that baby a kiss from the crew of SV Halcyon, Houston, TX!

[@Blazer02LS]

I explain this to people and they look at me like I'm a three headed moron... Semi-Retired EMT...

@@Blazer02LS Right!!! And thanks for your service!! Once an EMT, always an EMT!😉

[@marieallman66]

I would recommend keeping two epi-pens on board, we almost always dispense two-packs incase of malfunction or if you’re directed to use a second pen by emergency personnel. Most now come with a trainer pen too so everyone on board can practice. They also make an epi-pen jr for children that might be good to have. I’m a pharmacist if you ever need any medicine help! 😊

[@pogcarr]

Second on this. According to my doctor friends, under serious allergy situations (the only kind where you use EpiPens), the epinephrine wears off after 15-minutes or so. That is why there are two in a kit, to give you time to get to a hospital (or for us boaters, for other oral meds to start having an effect)

[@jonrichardson7199]

AED definitely... One of my co workers almost died... Thank God we have them available at work.

[@j.richard2059]

As an emergency medical responder in the marine industry, I found this video quite interesting! You are certainly well equipped as you must be - the only ones you can rely on out there are yourselves! Great job putting your kit together, and learning all the things that you have learned!

[@judd_s5643]

Very impressed with the seriousness of this particular video. Presents a side of the crew that is normally not on display. So it’s not all drinking and partying!!! I’m pretty shocked that a guest, you invited into your home would steal from you. I’ve been following Delos for years and think you have set the bar pretty high for others to follow. I hope the Delos crew is happy and ready for the new crew member. What a grand thing for your new baby when she gets older to be able to look at how mom and dad met and see the adventures they had...same with Uncle Brady and perhaps Auntie Blue! Fair winds Delos

[@AdventureOtaku]

Hey Guys. I am a paramedic and I teach Wilderness First Aid for NOLS. I am also an expedition kayaker. Thanks for this video I think it brings awareness to a lot of people that don’t think about this stuff so much. A couple of things I would point out. PLEASE take some form of wilderness first aid course. There was no mention in this video about assessing a patient which is super important. You need to gather data as to what is going on, AND THEN treat your patient with appropriate meds or other interventions. Additionally, for safety sake I have to point out, that Epinephrine is not for “bad allergies” it is for anaphylaxis which is a response to an allergen but is actually a form of shock. Only give it to someone with a compromised airway and signs and symptoms of anaphylaxis. I would also be careful with things like sutures, staples and glue (dermabond is really just medical grade crazy glue) because you are in a salt water environment wounds are very prone to infection. If they get infected you have to open them and re-clean them. You can’t do that with sutures, staples or glue. As I said, great video, please keep it up. And I will put this out to anyone, if you have first aid kit questions reach out to me via my insta @adventure.otaku glad to help.

[@hfig79]

Great kit guys. Thanks for sharing. As a former medic and avid cave diver I have two recommendations. Get yourself a pulse oximeter, great to have for multiple reasons. You can find them fairly inexpensive on amazon. Then purchase a 40 cubic ft dive tank and take it to any technical dive shop. You can have it filled with 100% O2 and take it with you everywhere you go. Any dive regulator will work. Must have for cave divers and I’ll never go on a dive trip without it. Medical companies try to get you with those green O2 bottles and their proprietary regulators. Cost me about 20 bucks to get my 40 cube filled and it last for hours and multiple decompression dives before I fill it again. Keep living the dream y’all and thanks for sharing your experiences. Love your channel. Peace.

[@pogcarr]

This is a good idea. Or, if you don't want a dedicated tank of pure O2 sitting around (flammable much?) then maybe a compact electric oxygen concentrators like anyone who is "on O2" from the doctors use. Yes, you will need electricity, but Delos has that.

[@MrJhchrist]

I think the flammability of oxygen is a bit over played. They've managed to carry gasoline for the dink, and used propane for the stove for years. In practical terms I don't think an O2 bottle is any more risk.

[@pogcarr]

@@MrJhchrist tank oxygen is a little bit like tanks propane. What you really worried about is a leak and then a spark. The good news with propane is we have sniffers that can detect that. Ain't no such beast for detecting oxygen. And an oxygen rich environment can create some truly horrifically high temperature flames. Not that its impossible to carry it aboard a boat, you just need to treat it like you do propane & only store it in an external locker with good ventilation.

[@stargazer7644]

Oxygen isn't flammable. Oxygen by itself won't burn. Sparks won't ignite it. That's why you'll never see a "flammable" sticker on an oxygen bottle. What oxygen is is an oxidizer, and that makes it dangerous. Oxidizers make flammable things burn much more intensely. It can make oils and grease spontaneously ignite. If oxygen was flammable, you'd blow up the planet the first time someone flicked their bic - the air you breathe is 20.8% oxygen. Treat it with respect.

[@j.brianbobiak12]

6:55 There is a specific Head and Shoulders you need to buy with the active ingredient "Selenium Sulfide". Use the Clinical strength Head and Shoulders. Regular Head and Shoulders will not help. FYI. Older Head and Shoulders had the "Selenium Sulfide". The fungus is actually a skin yeast that is always present but it can bloom under the right conditions.

[@timwalters9835]

We are still a few years away from getting our boat and setting off to chase the wind. But this video will make the fear and worry of sailing out of sight of land much easier. Knowing that you guys have worked and used this over the last 9 plus years and made adjustments and tweaked the kit to better suit your needs/requirements, will make our transition from land to water even easier. My wife is a Pharmacy Tech (Professional Drug Pusher) and she will be able to put together out kit(s) with a better understanding of what is needed to sail of shore and do so safely. Once again all of you on Delos are "Paying It Forward", and the rest of us are very grateful for this help.

It was Betadine, specifically. Is that identical to iodine or is it something different? EDIT: just found this... "Both these compounds are used as disinfectants. Betadine is composed of several components. The main difference between Betadine and iodine is that Betadine is a formulation containing povidone, hydrogen iodide along with elemental iodine whereas Iodine is a chemical element."

ALSO, most all medication can last longer than the shelf life. The US Military has performed decades-long tests on medication and shelf life and have numerous papers on the subject. Most last longer than ten years and the loss of potency is less than 5%

[@mschaap8890]

That is right. It is important though to store medicines cool, dry, and out of sunlight. High temperatures will definitely shorten the shelf-life.

Not to be mean (yikes), but "knowledgeable medic" is what you mean. I was in an ER, and in the next bed a "medic" was trying to shove a cath up a woman's clitoris (yes, exactly that)… and only got stopped when it took so long that a "knowledgeable medic" told HER to stop immediately and took over the job. The "medic" didn't even know her own anatomy, and this was in a world-renowned-award-winning hospital. I also know many, many, many excellent medics, just wanted to relay a frightening story - because it is true and needs to be added to that secret list of "ER terms" like GOMER, frequent flyer, assumed-room-termp, etc.

I've had to use it on a pony's knee. He was kicked right on the corner of it no way to stitch it up. I put that on it and it healed up super nice no infection and no proud flesh. Nobody would know he had an injury. My friend's horse had a stick stuck in her neck. Vet wouldn't do surgery afraid of paralyzing her. The stuff he gave her wouldn't heal it up it just kept oozing. 8 months of trying to heal it, she finally tried nu stock. within a month, she rolled for the very first time since her accident and she laid down and took a nap. I think it took 4 months for it to completely heal. there's a dent and it's covered with hair. completely healed up. emu oil is another one of my go to. It's a natural antibiotic. it's cleared up rain rot (fungus) in one day it was gone. My friend got bitten by a brown recluse and the drs medicine wasn't helping at all. I told her about emu and it healed up. I had gotten bitten by a cat and used the emu oil and it healed. wouldn't go to the dentist for an abscess and he took emu oil and rubbed it on the tooth and within days the abscess was gone. stubborn son (he's an adult so couldn't force him but still) but nice to know emu oil is good for that. I also gave it to a cat that was sick and she felt better in a day or so. giving medicine to a cat can be impossible at times, they love the emu oil since it's emu fat. Those are my to go to medicine.

A new alternative to the epi pen is the auvi-q, it come with two injectors and a training dummy injector, the injector actually speaks the injection steps to you so even children can use it in an emergency.

Great video! A couple items that would be great for the Delos crew are a combat tourniquet and some gauze the that has a blood clotting agent in it. I am long time Delos viewer and also a 20 year SWAT team member and diver. Most divers and surfers that die from trauma die from bleeding out, not from the actual injury. Most serious bleeds can kill someone before you get them back to the boat, let alone to a hospital. Most of special operations and SWAT team members, and a lot of cops are carrying tourniquets and gauze that speeds up blood clotting. We use the C-A-T model tourniquet from North American Rescue, but there are several makers out there. I never go on a SWAT mission without at least two or a scuba dive or ocean swim without one. Can come in handy for any severe extremity bleed, like shark bite, propeller accident, or a drunker sailor juiced up on rum who parties too hard. Send me a Private message of your next port you will receive mail at and I'll send you several of both!

Great video. Since Kazza is pregnant in this video, I would also mention that some medications are contraindicated in pregnancy. Doxycycline is one of them, except, if child barring female have malaria or anthrax (according to Epocrates). So if anyone is planing to have a child need to get familiar with the medications, because the scope of medications that may be used in pregnancy is VERY limited.
