New Manual of In-flight Medical Care, 2nd Edition

As a supplement to MedAire’s Management of In-flight Illness & Injury course, the
revised second edition textbook addresses recent changes to the aviation industry and highlights advances in medical care and treatment.

The new Manual of In-Flight Medical Care includes the following additions:

• Updated CPR information, including the latest guidelines for “Hands-Only” CPR
• Pediatric Automated External Defibrillator (AED) guidelines
• Multilanguage glossary for translation of medical terms in 10 languages
• Updated travel health information addressing worldwide disease and emerging disease
• New personal protection equipment information

Written by medical professionals, the step-by-step instruction in the manual is based on tried-and-true teaching methods and actual in-flight medical situations. While the manual is not available as a stand-alone resource, it is provided to pilots and flight attendants in business and commercial aviation who attend MedAire’s initial and recurrent Management of In-flight Illness & Injury courses.
