WHAT'S IN AN AIRCRAFT'S FIRST AID KIT?

Text by Jean Lin Translation by Leo Photos by Zeng Jian

Regarded as the angel in white in fl ight, the humble-looking aircraft fi rst aid kit can often be a life saver in emergency situations. So an essential part of any airline's services is to always keep the kit replenished and up-to-date. In-fl ight fi rst aid kits, usually stored in an aircraft's baggage racks or cabinets, are intended for use in emergency situations. They are very different from the fi rst aid kits commonly used in hospitals. They must be stocked for all medical emergencies that may occur in the sky. Flight attendants can provide basic medical treatment, when necessary. Staying calm and having enough relevant skills are prerequisites for all attendants.

The first aid kit is primarily used to treat wounds and perform

cardiopulmonary resuscitation.

COMPACT BUT COMPLETE

Three types of aircraft fi rst aid kits: 1. Sanitation & anti-epidemic kit 2. Emergency medical kit 3. First aid kit

The sanitation &anti-epidemic kit is mainly intended for the sanitation of cabins. For example, surface disinfection tablets and coagulants are used for the initial cleanup and disinfection of contaminated surfaces and floors by effectively eliminating all types of bacteria. In addition, the kit is also used to remove potential sources of infection, such as blood, urine, vomit and excrement, to prevent cross-infection among passengers and to provide a safe and comfortable environment.

空中急救包里有什么

它為生命爭分奪秒，它為健康保駕護航——它就是飛機上的白衣天使，空中急救包。雖然看起來不起眼，可一旦乘客發生緊急情況，急救包里的內容至關重要。而不斷更新急救設備，正是航空公司周到服務的體現。

機載應急醫療設備是飛機上用于緊急救助的醫療箱，通常存放于行李架內或者櫥柜內。它和醫院里一般的急救箱非常不同，它必須適合高空中可能發生的各種緊急醫療狀況，需要乘務員能夠提供最必要、最基礎的醫療救助，同時要求乘務員有著冷靜從容的心理和專業嫻熟的技巧。
