1.) I would also be sure to have a bottle of antibacterial hand soap that you can use that does not need water. When ever you are done treating a patient it is good to have clean hands, and you are not always around a sink.
2.) I would also have to say, as others have already, that it is important to have non-latex gloves. You never know who is allergic, and if you have a patient that is unconcious you can not ask. I personnely am allergic to latex and I would hope that anyone that is helping me would have non-latex gloves. So, for me this is a biggie to have in any first-aid bag.
By the way I am not an emt, just a police/fire/ems explorer, so please take all that I say with a grain of salt I might be wrong.
