ABOUT THIS COURSE
This course consists of training for Basic Life Support, CPR, Automatic External Defibrillator (AED), bloodborne pathogens and other aviation specific medical emergencies. All information in this course is updated frequently, so you can be confident that you are receiving the most current information available.
As an aviation regulatory concern, there is no required first aid training for corporate executive aircraft operating under FAR Part 91. However, Canadian CAR 604 and JAR OPS-1, EU-OPS and U.S. charter crew members/airtaxi operators, under FAR 135.331, are required to be familiar with topics of illness, injury or other abnormal situations involving passengers and crew members. In the United States, both Part 91 and 135 operations are required by OSHA (CFR 29 Part 1910.1030) to provide crew members with bloodborne pathogens training and onboard personal protective equipment training.
This course is designed to meet or exceed the standards set forth by the Occupational Safety and Health Administration (OSHA), and the United States Department of Transportation (USDOT). The CPR and AED sections are based on standards published by the Journal of the American Medical Association (JAMA), the International Liaison Committee on Resuscitation (ILCOR), and other current publications.
This text is designed as part of an instructor-driven, inflight medical course. In addition to being easy to follow, this document will guide you through the necessary information and skills to help you become an effective leader onboard the aircraft and during an emergency. Aircare International issues course-
completion cards at the end of this program valid for a period of 1 year. At that time, a recertification course is recommended to keep you up-to-date on current skills.
At the beginning of each chapter, we provide an overview of information taught in that section, the systems involved, as well as any practical skills learned. Training will give you the confidence to get involved when necessary and Aircare Access will support you through any emergency. You will be able to manage emergencies you face with confidence.
DUTY TO ACT
In the event of a serious medical or traumatic emergency, minutes, and sometimes even seconds, can make the difference between life and death. Our goal is to teach you the skills necessary to recognize an emergency, relay the information to the appropriate chain of command, and provide the necessary care to help save a life.
Your job as a crew member may require you to provide emergency assistance. This is called a DUTY TO ACT. In this case, you must provide care to the best of your ability. Professionals, like firefighters, EMTs, paramedics, nurses and doctors have an obligation to help while on duty, but they too have a choice to make when they are not working - to act or not.
When faced with an emergency outside work, the choice to get involved is yours! Sometimes people choose not to get involved in these situations out of fear: fear of failing, fear of a lawsuit, or fear of disease.
