大韓航空飛行機で倒れたネパール人…乗務員の応急処置で回復
Nepali man collapses on Korean Air flight... recovers after first aid provided by flight attendant
It was belatedly revealed that a Korean Air flight attendant saved the life of a foreign passenger who collapsed on a plane by giving first aid.
According to the airline industry on the 31st, at around 1:35 p.m. on the 25th of last month, Incheon Airport, South Korea.
A Nepali passenger, Mr. A, lost consciousness and collapsed on board Korean Air Flight KE695, which was heading to Kathmandu, the capital of Nepal.
About six hours after takeoff, Mr. A's limbs became stiff and he was unable to properly control his body.
Flight attendant Park Dong-jin, who was serving snacks at the time, checked Mr. A's condition and informed all crew members that it was an emergency. Flight attendant Park, Deputy Chief Executive Seo Ok-jin and others checked Mr. A's pulse and blood pressure.
Then, with the help of other passengers, they helped him lie down on his seat. At the same time, we made a broadcast asking if there was a doctor on board, but no one answered.
From then on, crew members received advice from Korean medical staff and responded based on Korean Air's 24-hour ground emergency medical system.
I received emergency treatment. In addition, with the help of a Nepalese nurse passenger, we checked Mr. A's personal belongings to confirm his military record. As a result of the investigation, it was determined that Mr. A is a patient with a neurological disease and must take medication periodically.
However, it was discovered that he did not have any medication on him. After receiving first aid, Mr. A regained consciousness about an hour later, just before landing, and was handed over to medical staff waiting on the ground.
Korean Air conducts regular safety training for its crew members once a year in preparation for in-flight emergencies, and provides first aid, cardiopulmonary resuscitation (CPR) and other training.
"All crew members are trained on how to use CPR, automatic cardiac shock devices (AEDs), and other equipment," said Park.
"The education and training I received every year helped me learn how to use the equipment," he said. Korean Air's stewardship chief, Jeong Su-ryun, said, "If you have a chronic illness, take your medicine before boarding the plane."
"Even if they are used, if airline staff are informed of the condition before and after boarding, it can be useful in the event of an emergency."
