If you're at EMS World 2025, then there's a good chance you took a flight to get here. What if there was a "medical emergency" (real or perceived) on your flight? Would you know what to do? What are the regulations surrounding in-flight care? What equipment is, and more importantly, isn’t available?
This interactive discussion will equip you with the mindset to succeed at 30,000 feet using the insights and experiences of a veteran traveler and 38-year EMS veteran from street EMT and medic to flight physician to EMS medical director. We'll cover all you need to know to expertly navigate the next time you hear, "Ladies and Gentleman, is there a medical professional on this flight?"
