This book is a practical guide for health care professionals
encountering medical emergencies during commercial flight. Health
care providers should consider responding to emergencies during
flight as there are often no other qualified individuals on board.
This text covers the most common emergencies encountered during
flight, both general medical emergencies and those specifically
tied to the effects of flying, including cardiac, respiratory, and
neurological issues. Medicolegal issues are considered in depth,
for both United States domestic and international flights, as there
is potential legal risk involved in giving medical assistance on a
flight. Additional chapters are dedicated to pre-flight clearance
and the role non-physician healthcare providers can play.
