“Most U.S. airlines carry little more than the medical equipment currently required by FAA: one to four first-aid kits, depending on the number of passengers, and one medical kit per aircraft.
Each first-aid kit must be accessible to the flight attendants and include:
* bandages
* compresses for applying pressure, moisture, heat, or cold
* antiseptic swabs
* arm and leg splints
* tape
* scissors.
An airplane’s medical kit must be accessible to the flight crew, but is for use only by medical professionals. It must include:
* blood pressure cuff
* stethoscope
* plastic airways to deliver oxygen to help with breathing
* nitroglycerin tablets for chest pain
* dextrose solution for hypoglycemia
* epinephrine for asthma or allergic reactions
* injectable diphenhydramine HCl for serious allergic reactions
* hypodermic needles
* protective latex gloves.”
