What does the primary medical kit provide?

The primary medical kit is designed to offer a comprehensive set of tools and supplies that support both diagnostics and immediate interventions. This includes diagnostic tools such as stethoscopes and blood pressure cuffs, which help in assessing the patient's condition, as well as airway management tools like oropharyngeal airways or bag-valve masks that are crucial in emergency scenarios.

This combination allows for a more thorough approach to patient assessment and care, ensuring that both diagnosis and treatment options are available at the outset of a medical situation. The inclusion of airway tools is particularly important in hyperbaric medicine, where maintaining an open airway can be critical to patient survival. Therefore, the primary medical kit serves a multifaceted role, addressing both the assessment and management of a patient's needs in emergency or hyperbaric situations.
