What's in your CPR kit? Just curious

Reading through some of these list's I might double check through our first aid kit (well medicine drawer). We have most stuff but think there might be odd bits we could do with adding - just incase!!

I also need to do one for my car, I think my OH's car has one in - need to check - but my car doesn't have one. Any recommendations for what to have in a car one? (or maybe with not reading all 5 pages I might of missed where it has prev been mentioned so apologies if this is the case).

Pretty much just Faceshield x 2 and wipes. And I have just added two epi-pens to my daily kit too.

I have a more comprehensive one in the house/car with airways kits and all the cool stuff, but it is a bit much to carry round in my bag.

The house kit has
3 x Merlin Silicone re-usable resuscitators (adult, child & infant sizes)
Res-Q-Vac emergency hand-held aspirator (adult & paediatric attachments)
7 Guedel airways (000 - 4 )
Laryngoscope set (handle & 4 x Macintosh blades - sizes 1-4)
Merlin E-Mask
2 x Magill Endotracheal forceps (adult & child sizes)
Tough cut scissors
Sharp bin
Aerosol therapy set with mask
Emergency foil blanket
4 x ET tubes - cuffed (sizes 5.5mm, 7.5mm, 8mm & 8.5mm)
Accident hammer
Tytan sprague stethoscope
Quick release tourniquet
6 x disposable pen torches
Spencer Wells forceps 5" straight
Dressing scissors 5" sharp/sharp
3 pairs of nitrile gloves (sizes small, medium & large)
IV giving set
