Resuscitation Kit
Free!
A resuscitation kit is a portable airway and breathing setup for CPR and emergency ventilation. It bundles a bag-valve-mask, airway adjuncts, and barriers so trained responders can open the airway, deliver effective breaths, and clear secretions fast. Ideal for ambulances, clinics, dental offices, schools, and workplaces, it complements an AED and helps bridge the gap until advanced care arrives.
Description
A resuscitation kit is a compact, ready-to-use set of airway and breathing tools for responding to cardiac arrest, opioid overdose, drowning, and other respiratory emergencies. It centers on assisted ventilation and airway support so responders can deliver high-quality Basic Life Support while advanced care is en route.
What’s typically inside
• Bag-valve-mask (self-inflating resuscitator) with adult mask, plus pediatric mask where specified
• Oropharyngeal and/or nasopharyngeal airways to maintain a clear airway
• Pocket mask or CPR face shield for single-rescuer ventilation
• Oxygen reservoir and tubing; space for an oxygen cylinder if your protocols require one
• Manual suction device or suction catheters to clear secretions
• PEEP valve where applicable, plus gloves, antiseptic wipes, and documentation card
Key features and benefits
• Rapid deployment: everything organized for the first critical minutes
• Effective ventilation: BVM enables controlled breaths and visible chest rise
• Airway maintenance: OPAs/NPAs help prevent tongue obstruction
• Hygiene and safety: barriers reduce exposure risk for rescuers
• Portable durability: rugged pouch fits response bags and wall cabinets
Common use cases and settings
• Ambulance crews, clinics, and hospitals for code response
• Dental practices and outpatient centers during sedation events
• Worksites, schools, sports venues, hotels, and public spaces with trained staff
• Marine, aviation, and remote locations where transport times are longer
How it compares
• Versus a basic CPR mask: adds airway adjuncts, suction, and BVM for better tidal volumes
• Versus an oxygen-only setup supports ventilation even without a cylinder or flowmeter
• Works alongside an AED: the kit manages breathing while the defibrillator treats shockable rhythms
Quality and compliance notes
• Select a kit that aligns with your local BLS/CPR protocols and training level
• Check contents for latex-free materials where needed and verify expiry dates for disposables
