Handling an in-flight medical emergency represents unique challenges. Cruising
at 30,000–40,000 feet, an aircraft’s cabin pressure is equivalent to an altitude of
6,000–8,000 feet. The lower air pressure of this environment, dry cabin air, and
other physiological impacts of travel have the potential to impact a variety of medical
conditions. In addition, the confines of a commercial aircraft, practical but limited
content of emergency medical kits, and at times substantial distance to reach
definitive medical care result in situations where knowledge and experience in handling
these emergencies can be critical. In this book, Drs. Nable and Brady have
synthesized key aspects of handling in-flight medical emergencies from bothclinical and operational perspectives. This reference provides valuable information for any clinician or other Good Samaritan who might be called to render aid to a fellow passenger, as well as to those, who through knowledge of flight physiology and the capabilities aboard commercial aircraft, might be able to prevent an in-flight medical emergency outright.
