UÇAKTA DOKTOR VAR MI?

Uçak ile yolculuk yapanların sayısının artması, daha ileri yaştan ve/veya ciddi hastalıkları olan kişilerin uçakla seyahat etmesi, uzun mesafe uçuşlarının artması gibi nedenlerle uçakta tıbbi acil olayların ve hatta kardiyak arrestin gelişme sıklığının da artacağı ileri sürülmektedir. Doktorlardan yardım istenmesi durumunda yapılması gerekenlerin ve yasal yükümlülüklerin bilinmesi gerekmektedir.

IS THERE A DOCTOR ON BOARD?

It is suggested that the incidence of medical emergencies and even cardiac arrest will increase due to the increase in the number of people traveling by plane, the increase in the number of older people and/or people with serious illnesses, and the increase in long-distance flights. In case of asking for help from doctors, it is necessary to know what to do and legal obligations.
