MEDKIT (the -Backpack Ambulance-) is a first aid backpack for medical emergencies. It is packed with additional functions and equipment intended to be used in hard to reach locations and places where it's impossible for the ambulance or helicopter to reach the injured patient on time.
Oil rigs, industrial complexes, mines, national parks, exploration missions, weather stations, construction sites, ships and submarines would all benefit from having one or more of these backpacks on-board along with trained paramedics which they can get quickly to the worker, or a visitor in need and get them in a stabile condition as the transport to the hospital is on it's to the patients location.
Besides the contents of normal big First Aid kits like tourniquets, glows, gauze, pads, gels, scissors, etc, MEDKIT has an extended assortment of drugs and prescription meds, oxygen tank and masks, infusions, stitching kit, scalpels and everything needed for small interventions if the situation is critical. Notepad and markers, are easily accessible so that findings could be written down and sent with the patient, or for markers, used to mark swelling on patient's skin around the spread of the animal venom or chemicals contamination.
Signal lights are located on multiple places on the backpack so that they are activated as soon as the paramedic gets to the patient. Signaling that an accident has occurred and securing the area. In that stage, MEDKIT would activate it's beacon and GPS distress signal so that when help is called transport can pinpoint their exact location. On top of the backpack is a rotating blinking signal light that is specifically designed to be easily seen from the helicopter especially when extended.
Since paramedics are carrying such a heavy load on their backs,
straps need to be semi-rigid and tough, yet padded nicely to provide comfort.
MEDKIT is also equipped with a defibrillator unit and its pads stuck on the outside, pointing inwards to stay protected, but can be accessed without moving anything else from the kit's contents. And the defib unit is accessible by opening medkit's doors. Since it has it's one power supply some of it can be used for the strong telescopic and adjustable LED operating light alongside red signaling lights.
Elastic straps can be securely stretched over the hand in order to properly place the defibrillator pads on the patient's chest and under the arm pit to allow for the most optimal passage of electricity through.
When not in use, MEDKIT packs would stay at the designated area in one of the buildings at the sight and stay plugged-in in order to always be fully charged and ready when needed in an emergency.
