Upgrade the onboard medical kits on short haul aircraft

It appears the unfortunate girl died of a pulmonary embolism. Listening to the interview today a simple resuscitation tube that only costs a few cents but which no short haul airline is required to carry in their kit was on the medical practitioners wish list. It could have happened on any short haul airline in Europe so surely the emphasis must be on upgrading these medical kits they carry onboard and concentrate on suitable training of cabin crew. The flight was fortunate to have a surgeon, nurse and trauma nurse on board. It must have be awful for all involved to loose someone.
