In - Flight First Aid

During the flight some passengers can feel bad (ill), that’s why on board each aircraft a first aid kit is carried to administer first aid. It contains some cardiac, some analgesic, some antiseptic, something for indigestion (dyspepsia) and other necessary medicines. There are also some bandage remedies, an electronic thermometer and a blood tester.

The medicines are in tablets, drops, solutions, spray.

CAs must help a sick passenger if he (she) has a heart trouble, a heart attack, a headache, a (head) cold, a stomach-ache or a stomach trouble, liver or kidneys colic, stomach and bowels spasms, a slight or high fever, an asthma attack, a sore throat, a toothache, a pain in the chest, a cough, a runny or clogged-up (blocked) nose, some fit, epilepsy, a cut, a bruise, gets airsick, gets nervous, feels dizzy (giddy).

Every airliner also carries a drugs kit which is a sealed metal box containing some medicines in ampoules for injections and some medical remedies, but it must be used by a doctor or a medically trained person.

In a more serious case let’s say a premature birth the purser or the captain can make an announcement calling for a doctor or a medically trained person (see the Handbook of Cabin Announcements, No.21 additional).

Answer the questions:

1. Why is a first aid kit carried on board each aircraft?

2.What does it contain?

3.What exactly are the symptoms?

4.What kit for a doctor is carried?

5.What announcement can you make calling for a doctor?
