Abstract
Several factors make commercial aircraft travel hazardous to passengers who may be sick or vulnerable to the strenuous environmental conditions of a modern jet airliner. These risk factors can expose a practitioner’s license if the practitioner volunteers to help a passenger who is having a medical emergency aboard an airliner. Understanding the history of medical emergencies during flight, the pathophysiology encountered by passengers, and, subsequently, the legal basis of medical emergencies aboard a commercial airline can be a very valuable process for any health care practitioner. A Good Samaritan law can be a useful piece of legislation for any practitioner.
