Since the number of air travelers, including the elderly and passengers with an underlying disease, is increasing every year, the number of inflight emergency patients is expected to increase as well. The investigators attempted to identify the incidence and types of inflight medical emergencies and analyze the first aid performed by cabin crew members or medical volunteers in flights by an Asian airline. The investigators also investigated the causes of inflight deaths and aircraft diversions.
