What does the emergency medical kit (EMK) contain?

The emergency medical kit (EMK) is specifically designed to address medical emergencies that may occur during a flight. It contains a variety of medical supplies that can include items such as medications, bandages, antiseptics, and tools necessary for first aid and emergency medical situations. The primary purpose of the EMK is to provide flight attendants and, if needed, medically trained passengers with the means to assist passengers experiencing medical emergencies effectively.

While basic first aid supplies could be included in the EMK, the term "medical supplies for emergencies" encompasses a broader range of more advanced medical equipment and medications than what might be considered "basic." Oxygen masks and fire extinguishers are vital safety items on board but do not fall under the category of medical supplies, making them incorrect choices for this particular question.
