Broadly speaking, all equipment that can save lives in a short time is first aid equipment.
The progress of modern medicine has given new concepts and connotations to emergency medicine. For example, the first-aid system has changed from running to telephone and computer processing, the means of transportation has changed from man-pack horses to ambulances, high-speed cars and helicopters, and the rescue technology has changed from simple hands-on operation to modern electronic medical equipment. Now, emergency work is no longer passive, but a modern mobile hospital, which can go out of the hospital, enter the society and enter the family as needed. Come to the patient quickly. Once the ambulance arrives, it marks that the patient has been admitted to the hospital and can get emergency and effective first aid treatment. The survival hope of critically ill patients can start from here.

It comprises a ventilator, an ECG monitor, a cardiac defibrillator, a simple ventilator, a cardiac compression pump, a negative pressure fracture fixing device and an oxygen cylinder. Multifunctional rescue bed, negative pressure aspirator, automatic gastric lavage machine, microinjection pump, quantitative infusion pump, etc. , and first aid equipment for tracheal intubation and tracheotomy.
