Revamping the management of onboard medical emergencies
On-board medical emergencies are unpredictable, and while the cabin crew receive first aid training during their onboarding process in all airlines to get the skills needed to deal with some cases, other cases would require the intervention of a certified medical professional who will be able to diagnose a more complicated medical case and provide the needed support that is beyond the cabin crew’s capabilities. This is where SkyClin comes to help airlines manage the intervention with such medical emergencies through its Doctor On Board Program.
Challenging Outdated Procedures
Airlines have a set procedure to search for a medical professional on board a flight when a medical emergency strikes on board and the flight crew recognize that it is are beyond their basic first aid training. The procedure has not changed since almost the inception of commercial travel; this is where the cabin crew make an announcement to ask for a doctor on board by calling “ladies and gentlemen, if there is a doctor on board please hit your call button”.
This traditional procedure comes with its own cons to name a few:
-
Uncertainty
Uncertainty of the availability of a doctor pre-flight -
Hesitance
Hesitance of some doctors to offer support is highly probable due to their limited knowledge of the available medical equipment and medications on board. -
Missing the call
Missing the call by a doctor who is enjoying a good sleep, or, thanks to the modern noise cancelling headphones, be enjoying their own movie time. -
Panic to Passengers
Panic to Passengers might be caused by the announcement and can even flare the curiosity of others. -
The wrong person at the wrong time
The person offering help might not have the needed capabilities to deal with the medical emergency, and might even not be a doctor in the first place.
