Yep. That's the one.

First name starts with W? I heard about that. Does sound very odd.

 

[Handsome Robb]

Did this person happen to be a radio host? If it is the person I'm thinking of, it is close to where I live and the story is really fishy.

You guys sparked my interest. That's a real odd story...

BBG,
Since you work(ed) on a plane. Where do they keep all of the Medical gear. (Iv's, drugs, airways, and other acls gear)? Oh and AED?

It's in a overhead bin with all the other emergency gear.

 

[DeepFreeze]

It's in a overhead bin with all the other emergency gear.

I believe it is labeled too, if I'm not mistaken.

So does every flight have someone at the ACLS level?

 

[NomadicMedic]

So does every flight have someone at the ACLS level?

No. The emergency medical kit is there for trained providers that happen to be on the flight. I understand that in the case of a severe medical emergency, some flight attendants are permitted to open the case when they're on the radio with med control.

Only when BBG is the one serving the coffee.

Then why not include a Intubation kit?

 

[NomadicMedic]

Then why not include a Intubation kit?

Why?

 

[Achilles]

Why?

For having a definite airway.

 

[NomadicMedic]

For having a definite airway.

I know what an intubation kit is for, thanks.

My point is, if you're thinking about tubing someone on a plane, you've got bigger problems. :/

If the situation is serious enough that the patient needs to be intubated, things will likely be going downhill faster than it takes the plane to land anyway.

Reminds me of the "zombie apocalypse" med packs people put together that had things like intubation and surgical airway kits. I always wanted to ask "and what ICU are you taking this patient you've taken over their airway to..."

Perhaps next time you should be more clear then. As opposed to a one word statement.

 

[triemal04]

Then why not include a Intubation kit?

Given that most people who are technically able to intubate (I'm including more than just paramedics here) probably shouldn't be...and the true need for intubation on a plane would be very, very low...why would you include an intubation kit?

 

[DesertMedic66]

Gotta love freestyle shows at a motorcycle dealership's grand opening.

 

[lightsandsirens5]

Life. Its freaking full of closed doors, isn't it?

 

[usalsfyre]

Better to find it closed than be pushed out it and have it slammed in your face my friend.
