This is something you do need... 'Nuf Said...
There are lots of variables in the composition of a Blow Out Bag, but this video shows and describes the content of one which is available as a kit.
The source is given in the video and I'm NOT advising that you buy it, but it is a good example of what you need.

The other thing you MUST HAVE is TRAINING in how to use your Blow Out Bag.
Did I mention TRAINING? TRAINING, TRAINING...
That means you need to find a place to obtain said TRAINING.
I would start be contacting a local hospital, emergency treatment center or talk to an EMT (Emergency Medical Technician) who can direct you to a TRAINING SCHOOL.
Finally, the kit being described in the video is not cheap and I think you could find almost all of the items in a good, local medical supply store. Some items CANNOT be purchased without a prescription... So watch the video for some advice on this point.
And last but not least: TRAINING, TRAINING, TRAINING.

I have a goodly amount of experience in this area. IF you have questions, ask me, I will tell you what I would do/buy. I will not tell you what to do nor what to buy. If asked about specific equipment/supplies I will give you my opinion.
NOTE how weaselly worded this is. I write it this way to make sure that you understand that I am not practicing medicine and that I am sharing with you my experience and knowledge.
