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

它为生命争分夺秒，它为健康保驾护航——它就是飞机上的白衣天使，空中急救包。虽然看起来不起眼，可一旦乘客发生紧急情况，急救包里的内容至关重要。而不断更新急救设备，正是航空公司周到服务的体现。

机载应急医疗设备是飞机上用于紧急救助的医疗箱，通常存放于行李架内或者橱柜内。它和医院里一般的急救箱非常不同，它必须适合高空中可能发生的各种紧急医疗状况，需要乘务员能够提供最必要、最基础的医疗救助，同时要求乘务员有着冷静从容的心理和专业娴熟的技巧。
