Circulatory System
Aorta
Largest artery in the
body
Arteries
Strong muscular, elastic walls
enable arteries to expand with
each surge of blood away
from the heart and towards
tissues
Veins
Action of muscles around
these thin walled vessels
squeezes blood through
them, and one-way valves
keep it from flowing back
towards the heart

Functions of the Blood
• Transportation of gases
• Nutrition
• Regulation
• Protection
• Excretion

16
What is First Aid
• The treatment given for any injury, or
sudden illness before the arrival of an
ambulance, doctor or any other qualified
person.
16

17
The Aims of First Aid
• To Preserve life
• To Prevent the condition
getting worse
• To Promote recovery
17

Effect of attitude on crew due to lack of oxygen18
At cabin altitude of 8000 feet, O2 level in the blood
Is reduced under several condition so that it is lead to
body fatigue :
Heavy smoking.
Drugs.
No medication should be taken during on duty
Alcohol
General fitness
During the plan most of cabin they are still tired and
are not sleeping well, you should avoid late night and
fatigue.

Effect of flying on the body
• During the flying it is happen changes of the
atmospheric pressure causing collection of the air in
the body so that increase in the volume as decrease of
the atmospheric pressure
• Provided that the expanded gas can escape by normal
routes, but if can not escape due the blockage it
happened to the effect area.

The method use in wear gloves20

Proper way to Remove Contaminated Gloves21

Hygiene Standards
Disease caused by bacteria can be spread by various routs :
Person to person
Animals
Through food and water ( typhoid and cholera)
the most factor is appropriate for bacterial growth :
Time
medium temperature
Moisture
Suitable food
22

Personal health care and cleanliness should observe
 Hand washing
 Protective gloves
 Keep vaccination up to
date
 Eating regular meal
daily
 Minimize smoking and
alcohol assumption
 Exercise daily
 Take care of your skin
 Regular shower

Dressing
 It is protective covering which is applied to a wound and used in :
o Prevent infection
o Absorb discharge
o Help control bleeding
o Avoid further injury
 You should follow sterile technique to eliminate all germs and
bacteria, material should be sterile and dry.
 When you applied dressing, you should not touch it or remove it.
 In some cases of bleeding, you should applying compression
technique to prevent blood loss, also it is normal to added new
dressing to it.
28

Bandage
 In some cases, you should use the Bandage :
a. Keep dressing in place
b. Secure wire splint in fracture condition
c. To help control bleeding
 Do not Bandage too tightly why???
29

Emergency Medical Kit (EMK)
 It is available on each aircraft in secure location, found
under aircraft specific information for each them
 All of the captain must ensure drugs are not administered
Except by qualified doctor or nursing.
 It contain life saving drugs and equipment that can be
opened under specific rules when announcement is
required requesting the medical assistance you should
notified by captain.
 EMK should be used by Doctor or nurse to administer
first aid necessary, if the doctor or nursing are not
available you should request any qualified person.

Automated External Defibrillator
 It is available on every aircraft in secure location, the exact location of
the kit may found on the emergency equipment location diagram located
under aircraft.
 The physiological state of victim shall effect the like hood of successful
defibrillation,
Patient will exhibit muscle response during the energy transferee.
 It is recognized for successful resuscitation that related to the length of
time between onset of heart rhythm does not circulate blood, in this
cases you should take this step:
 Early access
 Early CPR
 Early defibrillation
 Early ACLS
34

 The defibrillation is semi-automated and uses patented shock, it is
software analyze the patient ECG rhythm and indicate if it is or is not
detectable shockable rhythm.
 If patient recovers, placing him in recovery position with aid still
connected, patient will given oxygen and kept under observation.
 It should be used by doctor or nursing over airplane.
35

Automated Defibrillation
o The operator control AED operation with 3 top buttons:
• ON/OFF
• Shock
• Analyze
36

AED Operation
o To prepare for ECG and defibrillation :
 Confirm the patient with cardiac arrest, unconscious, not breathing
well, and not good pulse, no movement before use it
 Press ON to turn on the AED(green), then connected electrode
message and voice prompt will continue until patient is connected to
AED.
 Prepare patient for electrode connected:
 Place patient on hard surface (away from water and conductive
material)
 Remove clothes of patient from upper torso.
37

CONTINU>>>>
o Apply electrode on the patient chest :
 First electrode on the lateral of left nipple with the center of the
electrode in med axillary.
 Place other electrode on the upper right chest lateral to the sternum
and below of the clavicles.
 Starting from one end, press electrode firmly into the patient skin.
39

Special for electrode placement
o Using child pads from 1years to 8 years if not available using the
adult pads and AED.
o AED shouldn,t use for infant less than 1 years just CPR.
o For obese patient and large breast go on flat area on the chest
o In case of thin patient follow the contour of the rips and spaces
when passing the electrode this limit the air space and good
promotion of the skin contact.
40

Shock Advised
 in case of detection of the shockable ECG rhythm it is
display SHOCK ADVISE message
 We will hear SHOCK ADVISE, the AED start for
charging first shock.
 When charging is complete the AED display two message
Stand clear and Push To shock following voice Shock.
41

Contin>>>
 Ready tone (loud, high pitched, two toned sound), the
shock flashes:
o Check no any one is touching the patient
o Press shock to discharge the AID.
o If do not press shock, the shock will removed
42

• in some cases you should not give shock :
 If AED detected non-shockable ECG rhythm, it is display
the no SGOCK ADVISED , the AID will not discharge
and no shock is given.
• After no shock advised the AED enter CPR time is 15 sec
or more, if CPR time is set to 0 AED display the
following sequences:
 Check for signs of pulse
 Check for signs of cerculation
43

GENERAL
• If the AED used during the flight, an entry must made in
the ACL, line maintenance shall then inform in flight
product.
• In case of the pregnant if met criteria the of cardiac
arrest( not responsive, no breathing, no pulse)
44

Portable oxygen cylinder
• Oxygen is provided for use by passenger or portable
cylinders for first aid purposes
• In cases of respiratory distress in any person require o2.
• Capacity: 120
• Outlet: 2l/l
• Procedure >>>
• Adult _ high 4L/m
• Infant and child_ low 2L
45

• Passengers require oxygen for medical purpose to maintain
health during the flight.
• Each passenger used oxygen should be setting position
46

Measure blood pressure
• Person should be quite for 3 – 5 minute.
• Cuff size appropriate to the wrist of person.
• Measurement should be taken alternative both wrist.
• Patient or passenger should be rest on his back.
• You should empty the bladder why??
47

48
Responsibilities of First Aider

54
Airway
• Before opening the airway (check) for any
obstructions and remove (clear) them if
possible
• By tilting the head back and lifting the chin
forward, the tongue is drawn away (open)
from the back of the throat. Suspected
Spinal injuries will differ, majority are
conscious.
• In an unconsciousness casualty the tongue
may fall back to block the airway.

55
IF ABSENT BREATHE FOR YOUR
CASUALTY !
Breathing55
Look, Listen & Feel up to 10seconds

SUPINE
* Check spine injury, and feel head and back if any
injury.
56

57
Making a Diagnosis57

Give immediate care and treatment
• CARE is the continuous CABS and must carried out during first
aid.
• Communicate{talk to the causality} write down what care is given.
• Avoid harm_ be gentle, no food or drink until doctor is present
• Reexamine_ watch the causality and do not leave him alone, take
vital sign.
• Encourage_ give your causality support, watch him what say.
58

• The three most vital sign you should taken :
 Consciousness
 Pulse{heart rate}
 Respiration{RR)
• The consciousness is the basic function of the brain
• You should remember the AMEGA:
 Assess
 Make area safer
 Examine and give treatment
 Get help
 After match clean and reporting
59

Triage
• Is the process of prioritizing causalities based on the
severity of sign and symptoms and immediate
treatment.

68

Hypoxia
 Insufficient amount of oxygen to supply the body need for
physical and mental performance.
 Causes
 Failure of pressure control system
 Reduced cabin air flow
 Structural failure
69

Sign and symptoms
 Increasing breathing rate
• Dizziness
• Poor coordination
• Impairment in judgment
• Reduced vision and sleepiness
• Cyanosis
• Unconsciousness and death
 If the captain increase the altitude of plan the TUC is
reduced
70

Management
• * in this case you should be supply patient with oxygen
• Immediate supply patient with oxygen with o2 mask
• You should available o2 portable on the plan
• If the captain increase the altitude of the plan oxygen as
precaution.
71

Respiratory Condition
 Most of people is inhaled and exhale air 12 to 20 per
min
 Depending on the nature and medical condition
 The airway : passage of the air from mouth to lung
 Respiratory disorder
 Asthma
 Sever acute respiratory syndrome
 Lung cancer
 Difficulty breathing
72

73
Chocking
Is caused by food or object stuck
in the throat , if the passenger
cough, speak and normal skin
encourage him to cough
If the passenger is choking sign are
Cannot speak, blue face, clutching
neck between thumb and index
finger, an loss of conscious

Management
 Check the patient is choking
 If the patient is conscious you should use the Heimlich
maneuver {abdomen thrust} that force air up and out to
clear airway.
 If patient unconscious stand behind the passenger are
your arm around his waist, if standing place one of your
feet between his leg to support patient body
 Make fist one hand and put him against abdomen above
navel button
 Give upward quickly to out of an object
 On pregnanet just downward and used chest thrust
74

Unconsiousness adult or child
• AMMGA
• Check for responsive if not responsive
• Check pulse for 5 second if no pulse start CPR
• If yes pulse, check the airway if patient not breathing give
breathing if choking >>
• If unconscious but good breath with pulse but him in the
recovery position
• Do not do chest or abdomen thrust
• If infant you should do hold infant and but him toward the
earth then with palm hit him until the object is out
