We start with a gripping story of seizures and use it as a jumping-off point to unpack practical pearls for in-flight emergencies. Along the way: what’s actually in the emergency medical kit, when planes divert, how ground medical support works, altitude physiology, legal protections, and how to stay calm when medicine suddenly happens at 35,000 feet. By the end, you may still sweat a little…but hopefully less than before.🔹Sponsor: Oakstone CMEUse the code "CORE325" for 25% off: https://www.coreimpodcast.com/MKSAP 🔹Transcript and Shownotes: 04:40 | Emergency Medical Kit (EMK) Standard Contents08:50 | Role of Ground-Based Medical Support & Flight Diversion Decision-Making19:35 | Interpreting Hypoxia at Altitude22:06 | In-Flight Liability23:35 | Common Chief Concerns & Useful Additional Medications24:53 | How to Be Resourceful in an Austere EnvironmentTags: CoreIM, Internal Medicine, Medical Education, In-flight Care, Medical Emergencies, Clinical Reasoning, Seizure Management, Hypoxia, Airway Management, Cardiac Emergency, Syncope, Respiratory DistressFind the best disability insurance for you: https://www.patternlife.com/disability-insurance?campid=497840Our Sponsors:* Check out FIGS: https://wearfigs.com* Click for 15% off Premium Starter Kit at Branch Basics: https://branchbasics.com/COREIMAdvertising Inquiries: https://redcircle.com/brandsPrivacy & Opt-Out: https://redcircle.com/privacy
