Our boat came equipped with a MACKDADDY (you can thank me later for the 80s reference) First Aid Kit. It has gauze, tape, band-aid, splints, ice bags, tourniquets, Ace bandages,
Burn aid dressings, CPR masks, blood pressure cuff and gauge, drugs (get your mind out of the gutter haha), and MORE! I hope we never have to use any of these in an emergency situation but it is comforting to know it’s there.
In the exploration of the contents of our First Aid Kit we realized that the Sphygmomanometer wasn’t zero’ed out. Captain Ed is a very good first responder so it was time for me to take lessons!
Here is the instructions on how to reset a blood pressure gauge to zero.
