SUMMARY:CAS Pinnacle Rounds - In-Flight Medical Emergencies: Challenges at 
 40\,000 ft.
CLASS:PUBLIC
DESCRIPTION:An in-flight medical emergency (IME) refers to any medical inci
 dent on board a commercial airline that has exceeded the handling ability 
 of the flight crew. IMEs are more common than we tend to think\, occurring
  roughly every 600 flights\, and the incidence is expected to rise conside
 rably due to increases in air traffic\, flight times\, and the proportion 
 of elderly\, co-morbid passengers. Physicians on board are often called up
 on to assist affected passengers\, but most are unaware of the unique aspe
 cts of the cabin atmosphere\, the resources available to them\, and the po
 licies guiding intervention in this complex\, resource-limited environment
 . While anesthesiologists are often viewed through the lens of perioperati
 ve care\, our expertise with respect to physiology\, critical care\, and c
 risis management renders us particularly useful to passengers during an IM
 E.\n\nhttps://secure.cas.ca/events/index.html/event-info/details/id/45
