A First Aid Kit is a special box or bag that includes supplies and equipment to treat minor injuries such as cuts, scrapes, burns, bruises, and sprains. More complex First Aid Kits also include survival & life-saving emergency supplies or convenience items like bug sting wipes or cold & flu medicines.
A defibrillator is a device that sends an electric pulse or shock to the heart to restore a normal heartbeat. It is used to prevent arrhythmia, an uneven heartbeat that is too slow or too fast. There are two types of defibrillators:
- A semi-automatic defibrillator has a push button that should be pressed to deliver a shock to a victim.
- A fully-automatic defibrillator provides a shock to a victim automatically without human intervention.
