airRx for Android

I have responded to four inflight medical events and I wish I had this application at those times. When you are traveling on an airliner responding to a medical event is the last thing on your mind. This app will assist you greatly in reorienting your brain to the response mode, especially in the unique environmental of an airliner passenger cabin and informing you of what resources are available for your use. I highly recommend it.

At least 3 times I've gotten the elbow from my wife: "They're calling for a doctor!", and each time I feel a little out of my depth. As a non-urgent care physician, treating emergencies is not my bread and butter. So far, so good but it would have been great to have this app at my finger tips. With AirRx I can have info readily available to help durimng or even after I attend to the traveler. Nice to double check my thoughts and actions, for sure!

An excellent resource for Medical professionals to be best-equipped to respond to in flight medical emergencies! Tells you what is available, what to expect, what your options are! Don't fly without it!

I’m a recently retired psychiatrist and did not handle emergent situations often in my day to day practice. While it's true that I could find all this information elsewhere, I travel often and feel more comfortable having it readily at my disposal. I know there's a good chance I may be the only physician on the plane and, as it's been years since I've dealt with most situations I might encounter in the air, the airRx APP works as a quick reference guide and refresher. I understand the points of the poster above, but I also know that my lack of recent emergency medical experience makes this app very helpful for me. Most of the things one can do to help in the air are simple, things that I would readily be capable of doing. This app makes sure that, should the situation arise, I will remember the simple things that need to be done.

I fly frequently as I work locums emergency medicine. I assisted once on a flight with a syncopal patient. I had my stethoscope and a pocket pulse oximeter. This app has some useful information. You need to read up before the situation arises. Once in the emergency setting on flight, it is you and the flight attendants. The information on this app is readily available elsewhere for free but is selected and organized well for your reading.
