Medical emergencies can happen in a snap — especially if you’re mid-flight over an ocean. Lucky for us, flight attendants and the rest of the crew are trained in handling any situations that may happen on a plane. Flight attendants are trained to act as first responders, so they are very well-versed in CPR and the Heimlich maneuver, and it is not unheard of for a flight attendant to help someone in an emergency birth on the plane. All planes are also equipped with defibrillators, first aid kits, and antihistamines in case any emergencies of those sorts crop up. A graver situation will merit the flight attendants asking if there is a doctor on board.
