Hey Billy if they are in the cardiac arrest I think that their latex allergy is the least of their problem.

But I second the gloves idea. I carry two pairs with me all the time and from acctual med work to stupid stuff like engine repair, emergency water carrier, small pain job, garden work, etc, etc they are a life saver. Plus when inflated they make a great fast and temporary toy.
