Prepackaged collections of the devices and supplies (i.e., either custom or standard kits) needed for emergency performance of cardiopulmonary resuscitation (CPR) procedures. Items in these kits usually include a one-way valve respirator, sterile examination gloves, antimicrobial dressing and/or swabs, masks for mouth-to-mask ventilation, and hazardous waste disposal bags. The kits are frequently supplied in supporting trays (i.e., procedure trays) consisting of a flat-bottomed receptacle with a border around the periphery supporting all the instruments and supplies needed for the procedure; the trays are usually covered by a sterile wrap and may be included in a solid bag appropriate for transportation. Cardiopulmonary resuscitation emergency procedure kits and trays are intended for use during CPR; they are used mainly in the field, at home, in emergency rooms, and in other areas of healthcare facilities.
