With the progress of the times, the choice of transportation modes is more diverse, and many passengers will choose to travel by plane. However, in the closed cabin environment at an altitude of 30,000 feet, what should I do in case of syncope and cardiac arrest? An emergency medical accident on board? What if there is no doctor? Once a plane encounters a sudden illness of a passenger in the air, it will be different from the ground, which means that as a flight attendant, it must master the relevant aviation medical knowledge and have rich experience in handling special situations.

Therefore, our employees must:

Immediately notify the captain and give the following information: symptoms, including whether you are conscious, the passenger's name, gender, age and address; The destination of the passenger; The name and certificate of the doctor; The type of medical assistance required after landing; Then broadcast a request for medical assistance to see if there are any professional doctors on this plane to help, and try to arrange it; Prepare first aid equipment, and the staff on the plane should usually train more basic knowledge of first aid; Transfer to the ground as soon as possible for emergency treatment; With the consent of the captain, the names, home addresses and telephone numbers of two or three passengers or patients near the incident can be obtained by recording and signing the names of passengers. Passengers should provide ID cards or other valid certificates.

Some first aid knowledge: when nosebleeds, you can hold the sides of your nose with your fingers for 4~8 minutes or fill the nasal cavity with cotton balls soaked in ice water to stop bleeding.

Chest compressions:

Arms straight, right hand clasping left hand. The palm root is placed in the center of the connecting line between the two nipples. With the strength of the whole body, press at the speed of 100- 120 per minute, and the depth is 5-6 cm.

Epilepsy (prevention of secondary injury):

Ensure the safety of the environment, and do not interfere with the ventilation.

Automated external defibrillator (AED) is an easy-to-operate first-aid equipment that can automatically analyze the heart rate and perform defibrillation. Although AED manufacturers and models are different, their functions and usage are basically the same. After checking the surrounding environment and the patient's condition, call for help in time. For adult patients undergoing cardiopulmonary resuscitation:

1, turn on the switch

Press the ON/OFF key and follow the voice or screen prompts.

2. Dry your chest

Untie the clothes on the patient's chest and clean the chest.

3, discharge plate

There is usually a picture on the electrode sheet, in which one electrode is placed under the patient's right clavicle and the other electrode is placed under the patient's left breast sidewall. Place the electrode pad and insert its connector into the connector on the defibrillator.

Please avoid the people around you and start the analysis.

Wait for AED to analyze automatically (or press? Analyze the heart rate? Key).

5, the implementation of electric shock defibrillation

If the AED voice prompts (or displays)? Suggest electric shock? Should I remind you loudly again? Would everyone please step aside? To ensure that no one touches the patient, please press? Electric shock? Key defibrillation.

6. Continue cardiopulmonary resuscitation

After electric shock defibrillation, or AED prompt? Electric shock is not recommended? The patient should be given cardiopulmonary resuscitation for 2 minutes immediately, and then the AED should be used again for analysis and defibrillation until the patient regains consciousness or the medical staff arrives.
