Compression-Only CPR During The Pandemic
Dear Members,
We would like to notify you of an update regarding a health and safety concern that has been brought to the Union’s attention. At our request, the company has reached out to MedAire for their input on performing compression-only CPR during the ongoing COVID-19 pandemic.
As a temporary safety measure for crew, MedAire supports a Member's decision to use compression-only CPR during the covid pandemic - if you feel that your personal safety is at risk.
This aligns with the AHA, which is used for the national standard in our inflight medical training. It’s essential to note that this is just a temporary guidance during the pandemic.
If you have any questions, comments, or concerns, please do not hesitate to contact your Union Health and Safety Committee.
