  • Title: Emergency medical kit for commercial airlines. Air Transport Medicine Committee, Aerospace Medical Association.
    Author: Thibeault C.
    Journal: Aviat Space Environ Med; 1998 Nov; 69(11):1112-3. PubMed ID: 9819172.
    Abstract:
    While it has been of general interest for a long time, the issue of a Medical Kit for Commercial Airlines is now close to the top of the priority list because of recent activities in Europe within the Joint Aviation Authorities (JAA) and in the United States at the Congressional Level. The Aerospace Medical Association (AsMA) requested its Air Transport Medicine Committee to review the situation and make recommendations for a basic medical kit for international airlines. After reviewing the contents of existing kits, and the limited amount of available data, a proposal was submitted to and accepted by the AsMA Council. This is just a beginning. The Air Transport Medicine Committee will continue to follow the evolution and periodically adapt the kit accordingly.
