KED

If you are injured and you need help, it is important for others to know how to treat you. One tool first aid helpers can use as a lifeline is known as a first aid kit items. But just what is a KED, and how does it work when someone is hurt?

It’s a special tool — a KED, for Kendrick Extrication Device. It makes sure that someone’s body is still and safe if the person has hurt his or her back or neck. It resembles a flat board with straps on it. And when someone is injured, a KED can help prevent them from moving a lot and worsening their injury.

Learn how to properly apply a KED in emergency situations.

It's also something to keep in mind when you come across someone who may have injured his or her back or neck and want to help. First, ensure it’s safe for you to help without being harmed. You can then gently slide the 1st aid kit items underneath the person (supporting their back as well as their head and neck). Then, secure the straps the person to the KED and prepare to remove him/her to safety.
