Several potentially hazardous chemicals are required to make modern military aircraft fly. With each airevac mission, the possibility exists for structural failure of a fluid system, resulting in contamination to flight/medical crews, patients, and passengers. Aeromedical Evacuation Crewmembers (AECMs) need to be aware of the hazardous chemicals used in aircraft and areas where there is an increased risk to those in and around the aircraft. This study identified potential areas for chemical leakage, such as refuel receptacles, hydraulic reservoirs, hydraulic motors, doors, ramps, engines, and more. Further, it identified the basic first aid procedures to perform on people contaminated with jet fuel, hydraulic fluid, engine oil, fire extinguisher agents, LOX and other fluids. First aid procedures are basic and can be performed with supplies and equipment on a routine aeromedical evacuation mission, AECMs trained in a basic awareness of hazardous aircraft chemicals will result in crews better prepared to cope with the unique risks of transporting patients in a complicated military aircraft.
制造现代军用飞机飞行需要几种潜在危险化学品。每次空中医疗后送任务都存在流体系统结构故障的可能性，从而导致对飞行/医护人员、患者和乘客的污染。航空医疗后送机组人员（AECM）需要了解飞机上使用的危险化学品以及飞机内部和周围人员面临更高风险的区域。本研究确定了化学物质泄漏的潜在区域，如加油插座、液压油箱、液压马达、舱门、舷梯、发动机等。此外，它还确定了对受喷气燃料、液压油、发动机油、灭火剂、液氧和其他液体污染的人员应采取的基本急救程序。急救程序很基础，在常规航空医疗后送任务中可以使用物资和设备来执行，对危险飞机化学品有基本认识的AECM培训将使机组人员更好地准备应对在复杂军用飞机上运送患者的独特风险。
