Chase has always been interested in airline safety. Now he has combined his education and experience to provide the first manual specifically designed for off-duty medical personnel facing an in-flight medical emergency.
In-flight medical emergencies (IFMEs) are common in the airline industry. Almost everyone has been on an airplane where a flight attendant has calmly asked, “Is there a doctor on board?”

Adam Daniel Chase, EMT, MPS, presents the first comprehensive manual for traveling paramedics, firefighters, emergency medical technicians, and other trained first responders. The Aviation Medical Assistance Act’s Good Samaritan provision applies to all trained and certified medical personnel, not just doctors. Chase introduces the laws and techniques that all first responders should know when facing an IFME.

In his manual, learn

· the regulations for off-duty EMS care and the Good Samaritan Law,

· the required contents of an emergency medical kit and mandated medical equipment,

· the process for contacting airline physicians through MedAire and MedLink,

· the potential medical problems that could lead to an IFME,

· the roles of the captain and the flight crew,

· the medical issues aircraft pressurization creates, and

· the correct way to handle a passenger death.

Your expertise could mean the difference between life and death for a sick or injured passenger. Thanks to Chase’s comprehensive instructions in this new guide, you will be ready to answer the call!
