"As a result of this initiative, Delta's aircraft will be equipped with the finest emergency medical equipment of any carrier in the world," said Jenny Poole. "We congratulate American Airlines for taking the first step with this issue last year by installing defibrillators on its aircraft that fly over water. We are not only following their example, but raising the standard by equipping each Delta aircraft with a defibrillator and an expanded emergency medical kit." "Our goal is to be the best airline in the eyes of our customers and we are committed to providing our employees with the necessary tools and training to ensure in-flight customer service and safety that is second to none," Poole continued. Delta's fleet will be equipped with defibrillators with heart monitoring capability, manufactured by Heartstream (Nasdaq: HTST) of Seattle, to treat victims of sudden cardiac. Delta is the first U.S. airline to equip its entire fleet. Delta flight attendants will be trained to operate the easy-to-use, battery-operated defibrillator, called the ForeRunner(R). The ForeRunner(R) guides the attendant though the process with voice prompts and determines whether the patient needs an electrical shock and delivers it when appropriate. It also provides a visual display of the heart's rhythm to help an attending physician, if one is on board, to better evaluate the passenger's condition. Sudden cardiac arrest is the leading cause of death in the United States, killing more than 350,000 people each year. Nearly 90 percent of these events are caused by abnormal heart rhythm, most commonly ventricular fibrillation. Defibrillation is the only definitive treatment of this condition and victims must be defibrillated within four minutes to achieve a 60 percent survival rate. In addition to the FAA-required emergency medical kit, Delta also announced it will install a second medical emergency kit on each aircraft in its fleet. Manufactured by Banyan of Abilene, Texas, the expanded medical kit, which may only be opened by a doctor, will include certain prescription medicines and equipment to treat the most common in-flight medical emergencies, including cardiac arrest; epileptic seizure; asthma or bronchitis; diabetic episodes; psychosis or severe anxiety; nausea, vomiting or motion sickness; and injuries. "For medical professionals who respond to requests for on-board assistance with emergencies, the enhanced medical kit and the availability of a monitoring defibrillator will be eagerly welcomed..." said Dr. Cris Bisgard, Delta's director of health services. "For passengers who need treatment that can't wait, they will be life savers." Delta carries more passengers worldwide than any other airline. In 1997, Delta was the first airline to carry more than 103 million passengers in one year. SOURCE Delta Air Lines, Inc.

The Zone 1 Backbone only carries echoes listed in the Zone 1/2 EchoList. It seems that the listing for this echo will expire this month. Thus, it is necessary for the moderator to update its listing if it is to remain on the Zone 1 Backbone. For more information please consult these files: BOFAQxxx.TXT and ELISTxxx.ZIP, where "xxx" is the version number. They are available from most hubs or can be requested from 1:1/201 or 1:396/1.

Hmm..I havn't written much in this echo, but I read the few postings, that came here, with great interest, but the echo also disapointed me a little bit: I thought, I could get some information about EMS in other countries from this echo, but because of the low traffic there are not much information to get from this echo...but I still hope, that is just a temporary phase, and that there are enough people in this echo, that would like to get an interessting discussion. Anyway, I think, it would be sad, if this echo would be closed... Ciao,_____ |imur >>Internet: t.cetin@brem.de<< >>Fido: 2:2426/3190.32<< --- CrossPoint v3.11 R * Origin: Nieder mit Harald Schmidt!
