===Airway, breathing and circulation=== First aid treats the [[ABC (medicine)|ABCs]] as the foundation of good treatment. For this reason, most modern commercial first aid kits (although not necessarily those assembled at home) will contain a suitable infection barrier for performing [[artificial respiration]] as part of [[cardiopulmonary resuscitation]], examples include: *[[Pocket mask]] *[[Face shield]] Advanced first aid kits may also contain items such as: *[[Oropharyngeal airway]] *[[Nasopharyngeal airway]] *[[Bag valve mask]] *[[Aspirator (medical device)|Manual aspirator or suction unit]] *[[Sphygmomanometer]] ([[blood pressure]] cuff) *[[Stethoscope]] Some first aid kits, specifically those used by event first aiders and emergency services, include bottled oxygen for resuscitation and therapy.
