The Pitchside Medical Bag

A pitchside medical bag should hold only what you are currently competent, covered and permitted to use, chosen for this venue and this sport, and checked by a named person.

The bag is a statement about what you can do, made in advance, and it will be read that way afterwards. Carry a surgical airway kit and you have said you can perform a surgical airway. If you cannot, the kit is a liability rather than a safety net.

This page covers the principles rather than an inventory, because an inventory dates quickly and is wrong for half the people reading it. The anaphylaxis pack is on Anaphylaxis in Sport, and where the bag lives and who checks it within the wider response is on The Emergency Action Plan.
