Abstract:
In-flight emergencies (IFE) reportedly occur globally in about 1 in 604 flights1. During training, family medicine (FM) residents acquire the skills necessary to counsel patients who are at risk, provide comprehensive management, and respond in emergent situations. The purpose of this study was to assess FM resident's knowledge about IFE, counseling, and attitudes towards responding to IFEs. A 15-question survey was sent to FM residents in the Dallas-Fort Worth area. IFE training options were also reviewed. Survey results revealed gaps in knowledge, yet a willingness to assist if necessary. A didactic IFE training format was found to be more achievable.
