1. Abstract
Given the increase in airplane travel and the number of elderly passengers on planes, the chance that a physician will be called upon to assist during a flight has increased. However, doctors in Japan have no specific training on how to assist in an inflight emergency and are therefore hesitant to assist.
To measure the response to a lecture on medical assistance during a flight, including the kinds of drugs and medical instruments which are available on planes 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 and after the lecture.
103 questionnaires were returned, a response rate is 81.1%. Most participants showed an interest in knowing more about how to treat an inflight emergency, but also wanted more concrete case examples.
Family doctors would like to know more about the treatment of inflight emergencies and their current lack of training makes them hesitant to assist.

2. Manuscript
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 and equipment that are in the medical kit. From one medical paper, the rate of doctors who accept an emergency call for assistance is about seventy-five percent (75%). I believe that If doctors have a basic knowledge about inflight emergencies, they may be more willing to accept a call for assistance. So, I decide to give a lecture about inflight emergencies at the workshop for family physicians.
To measure the usefulness of this lectures, I collected the information from a questionnaire I prepared. The main objective is the usefulness of the lecture. The secondary objectives are the helpfulness of the information and should the lecture continue in the future. In the lecture, I presented the information below. 1. 2. 3. 4.
the environmental change during flight. medicines and equipment in the airplane. inflight emergencies frequently encountered. 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 airline companies would lend me the medicines and equipment.
2/3 Kenichi Sato
Totally one hundred and twenty seven people participated in the lecture and one hundred and three questionnaires were returned. So, the response rate is eighty-one point one percent(81.1%). The result of 1st objective is as follows. Almost all participants answered that the lecture is useful. When participants assist in inflight emergencies, many doctors said that the lecture is helpful or very helpful. But only one doctor said there were no concrete examples even though another doctor said that he could understand because of the concrete examples. Comments for improvements are as follows. As you can know, there are many points that could be improve. The last question whether this lecture should continue. Participants who answered this question say the lecture should continue. Comments are as follows.
After the lecture on inflight emergencies, we can get a lot of information and knowledge about the medicines and equipment in the airplane. Furthermore, we can advice patients when they travel by airplane. So maybe doctors will no longer hesitate to accept an inflight emergency call. But, because none of the airplane companies are willing to lend us the medicines and equipment, I must give the lecture without them. So, to continue the lecture more effectively, we need the understanding and cooperation of the airline companies as well.
Thank you for your attention.
