Narrative:

I was preparing the aft galley for landing. Another flight attendant told me a passenger 'passed out.' I saw flight attendant obtaining medical equipment and cpr being performed on passenger at xa door. I obtained additional emergency equipment requested by flight attendants and monitored passenger of aircraft and manned the 4L&right doors for landing. Doctors volunteered and performed much of the medical assistance. They requested equipment using medical terminology, creating some confusion about what supplies we had on board. If the 'enhanced medical kit' was more clearly labeled with contents and packed in more organized manner, and the bag labeled 'resuscitator-suction' was labeled with the word 'medical kit' as described in our manual there would be less confusion in emergency situation.
