What is the Kemp USA Pediatric Pack specifically designed for?
The Kemp USA Pediatric Pack (10-118-ROY) is purpose-built for pediatric airway management and emergency medical care. Its nine color-coordinated removable zippered pouches mirror the color-coding approach of pediatric emergency equipment systems, allowing protocol-specific organization of sized airways, pediatric BVMs, weight-appropriate medications, peds IV catheters, and assessment tools. The Royal Blue color distinguishes it immediately from adult EMS bags on a cluttered ambulance, reducing the risk of reaching for the wrong bag during a pediatric emergency.
How many removable pouches does the Kemp USA Pediatric Pack have?
The Kemp USA Pediatric Pack includes nine removable, color-coordinated zippered pouches. Each pouch can be pre-staged with a specific category of pediatric supplies — airway, circulation, medications, respiratory, assessment, etc. — and can be removed as a complete unit during a pediatric call. This allows individual care categories to be handed off to working partners without unpacking the entire bag, significantly improving scene organization during high-acuity pediatric emergencies.
What are the dimensions of the Kemp USA Pediatric Pack?
The Kemp USA Pediatric Pack measures 13" × 20" × 17" in a medium-sized form factor that accommodates a comprehensive pediatric emergency kit while remaining compact enough for efficient ambulance staging. The bag features four external side pockets for supplementary staging of frequently accessed items like Broselow tape, pediatric BP cuff, and assessment tools.
Why is the Kemp USA Pediatric Pack Royal Blue?
Royal Blue is used to provide immediate visual distinction between the pediatric bag and adult EMS bags, which are most commonly red. In a busy ambulance compartment or treatment area with multiple bags, color differentiation allows EMS providers to instantly identify the correct bag without reading labels. This color-coding principle reduces the risk of loading adult-sized equipment or adult-dosed medications during a pediatric emergency where size and dose selection are critical.
Is the Kemp USA Pediatric Pack water-resistant?
The Kemp USA Pediatric Pack is constructed from durable nylon, which provides moderate water resistance suitable for standard EMS field operations. The nylon construction resists light moisture exposure during vehicle response and ambulance transport. For agencies operating in water rescue or regularly wet environments, the more weather-resistant 1680D Cordura construction available in Kemp's PREMIUM line of bags may be more appropriate for high-exposure operations.
