So for US carriers I do believe there is an FAA requirement for a Emergency Kit on board having been to a few mid air emergencies and kits will vary from airline to airline I do believe

But baseline requirements will include at least oral and injectable anti histamines

Also of note the Epi 1:1000 is meant for IM injection during anaphylaxis. I also could use it to make a continuous epi infusion but would have no means to deliver it. This is important as stuff like epi pens people carry are a bridge so you can get medical attention and many times are not a one and done. When it wears off the will re-anaphylaxe so you can run out

It is actually a fairly broad based kit despite appearances. And you can cover stuff from anaphylaxis to at least having something to give in a MI or chest pain etc.

Airway is dicey at best and having an LMA in addition to the OPA's would be nice as well as a EZ-IO for vascular access.

That being said, you need someone who can use the stuff
