Emergency medical kits (EMK) are provided to clinicians who volunteer on commercial aircraft during a medical emergency. The contents of the EMKs are mandated by the Federal Aviation Administration in the United States and, internationally, by the International Civil Aviation Organization and the country of airline origin. The mandatory contents of the kits have not been updated by the Federal Aviation Administration since 2006, and the EMKs continue to lack key equipment such as automated blood pressure cuffs, glucometers, pulse oximeters, and epinephrine autoinjectors. Of further concern is a lack of standardized and centralized reporting for in-flight medical events that, if it existed, could better inform the contents of the kits. This commentary is intended to advocate for an update to the EMKs in the United States given the authors' experiences with in-flight medical events.

应急医疗箱（EMK）提供给在商业航班上志愿参与医疗急救的临床医生。EMK 的内容由美国联邦航空管理局在美国，以及国际民用航空组织和航空公司所在国家强制规定。自 2006 年以来，联邦航空管理局尚未更新这些套件的强制性内容，这些套件仍然缺乏自动血压袖带、血糖仪、脉搏血氧仪和肾上腺素自动注射器等关键设备。更令人担忧的是，飞行中医疗事件缺乏标准化和集中报告，如果存在这种报告，就可以更好地为套件的内容提供信息。鉴于作者在飞行中医疗事件方面的经验，本文旨在主张对美国的 EMK 进行更新。Rajagopal AB, Pissaris A, Clark K, Merrill A, Glatter R, Ho A, Towle DC, Yanuck J, Lahham S, Ulin L, Fischetti C, Apisa L. 对商业航空应急医疗箱进行更新的建议。航空航天医学与人类表现。2024;95(10):794-796.
