Tape, bandages, a knife and ibuprofen are usually in bag for cragging. I think this has been discussed before but in the instance of trauma mouth to mouth resuscitation isn't going to be successful. On the weekend we were going very light (aiming to do 20 pitches or so) and just had tape, which was actually quite useful. You can use a lot of climbing paraphenalia, clothing and outdoor gear to make things like stretchers, slings, splints, dressings etc.

If I'm on an expedition then or somewhere remote then the kit is very comprehensive with stuff including sutures, local anaesthetic, sam splints , lots of medication options, antiseptics and dressings, repair kit, cable ties etc. Blister dressings are the things I seem to give out most. (Comfeel and hypafix are my favourites for this)

Yes, work supplies are helpful. Lots of stuff in supermarket though.
