RESUMEN

El número de viajeros por avión ha aumentado en años pasados, y después de las limitaciones impuestas por la pandemia de COVID-19, se espera que esas cifras crezcan aún más. En vista de esta situación, la posibilidad de que un profesional sanitario se encuentre en posición de tener que asistir una parada cardiaca durante un vuelo comercial es también mayor. El presente trabajo describe algunos de los problemas más frecuentes en el tratamiento de un paro cardiaco durante un vuelo y enfatiza la relevancia de realizar reanimación cardiopulmonar y emplear un desfibrilador automático externo a bordo de una aeronave comercial
