The knowledge and the education of inflightemergency are very important for Family physicians.
Kenichi Sato/Kansai Rehabilitation Hospital
WONCA Asia Pacific Regional Conference07/June/2009
1. Abstract<Background>
Given the increase in airplane travel and the number of elderly passengers onplanes, the chance that a physician will be called upon to assist during a flighthas increased. However, doctors in Japan have no specific training on how toassist in an inflight emergency and are therefore hesitant to assist.
<Objectives>
To measure the response to a lecture on medical assistance during a flight,including the kinds of drugs and medical instruments which are available onplanes and advice to patients.
<Methods>
The lecture was given to family physicians 3 times between 2007 and 2008 ,total 127 doctors participated. Participants were sent questionnaires before andafter the lecture.
<Results>
103 questionnaires were returned, a response rate is 81.1%. Most participantsshowed an interest in knowing more about how to treat an inflight emergency,but also wanted more concrete case examples.
<Conclusion>
Family doctors would like to know more about the treatment of inflightemergencies and their current lack of training makes them hesitant to assist.

2. Manuscript<Background>
During the flight, doctors always have a chance to be called on in an emergency.But in Japan, doctors seldom have the chance to know about the medicines andequipment that are in the medical kit.From one medical paper, the rate of doctors who accept an emergency call forassistance is about seventy-five percent (75%).I believe that If doctors have a basic knowledge about inflight emergencies, theymay be more willing to accept a call for assistance.So, I decide to give a lecture about inflight emergencies at the workshop forfamily physicians.
<Objects>
To measure the usefulness of this lectures, I collected the information from aquestionnaire I prepared.The main objective is the usefulness of the lecture.The secondary objectives are the helpfulness of the information and should thelecture continue in the future.In the lecture, I presented the information below.1. the environmental change during flight.2. medicines and equipment in the airplane.3. inflight emergencies frequently encountered.4. ailments that a GP should consider.The explanation of equipment is most difficult problem.I could use a real medical kit and equipment only during the first presentation.The other two times, I could use only photos because none of the airlinecompanies would lend me the medicines and equipment.
