In 2019, the Aerospace Medical Association, which advises the FAA, and the American Academy of Pediatrics recommended the kits carry additional items, including electronic blood pressure cuffs, auto-injectors for epinephrine, pediatric doses of epinephrine, antihistamines and pain relievers.

The FAA told CBS News it is"currently reviewing the emergency medical kit requirements" and that"making changes would require a rulemaking process."
CBS News reached out to seven major U.S. airlines and they all said their medical kits comply with FAA requirements. The seven airlines all said passenger safety is their top priority and flight attendants are also trained to handle medical emergencies. said its kits include"dozens and dozens of medications, types of medical equipment, bandages and dressings," as well as"standard items" that might be in at-home emergency medical kits.
