AT CRUISE ONBOARD A300; PAX BECAME ILL AND WAS TREATED ONBOARD BY CABIN ATTENDANTS AND NURSES. PARAMEDICS MET ACFT AT DEST.

Narrative

PAX HAD NUMEROUS ILLNESSES (DIABETES; THYROID PROB; HIGH BLOOD PRESSURE; AND HAD A PACEMAKER). WAS TOLD PAX WAS INVOLVED IN A CAR ACCIDENT AND DIDN'T GO TO THE HOSPITAL EVEN THOUGH THE CAR FLIPPED OVER. PAX APPARENTLY GOT UP TO USE THE LAVATORY AND FELL IN AFT GALLEY AREA. I WAS NOT WITNESS TO THIS BUT FLT ATTENDANTS DETERMINED PAX NEEDED OXYGEN BECAUSE SHE WAS HAVING CHEST PAINS. A DOCTOR WAS PAGED AND NOT AVAILABLE. SO TWO RN'S CAME TO ASSIST WITH PAX DURING THE WHOLE ORDEAL. NURSES TOOK PAX'S BLOOD PRESSURE; USED STETHOSCOPE AND DETERMINED THE PAX NEEDED TO SEE A DOCTOR SOONER THAN LATER ESPECIALLY AFTER FINDING OUT THE MANY HEALTH PROBS PAX HAD. THE DEFIBRILLATOR WAS USED TO MONITOR PAX. AFTER EQUIP WAS CONNECTED TO PAX IT READ 'NO FURTHER ACTION NEEDED;' SO WE DIDN'T HAVE TO USE DEFIBRILLATOR OTHER THAN JUST AS A MONITOR. IT WAS THE FIRST TIME I WAS ON A FLT THAT THE DEFIBRILLATOR WAS SET UP. IT SEEMED PRETTY EASY TO USE AND MONITOR. I WAS GLAD RN'S WERE ONBOARD TO HELP US WITH PAX. I BELIEVE EVERYTHING WAS DONE TO THE BEST OF OUR KNOWLEDGE. WE USED LATEX GLOVES BECAUSE PAX RELIEVED HERSELF AND WE THEN HAD TO LIFT PAX TO A MORE COMFORTABLE AREA IN AFT GALLEY AREA. BLANKETS WERE USED TO KEEP PAX WARM. RN'S USED STETHOSCOPE AND BLOOD PRESSURE CUFFS. FOR AN EMER; THINGS WENT WELL WITH EQUIP AND WE LANDED IN A TIMELY MANNER TO GET PAX BETTER CARE. CREW COM WAS EXCELLENT FROM CAPT TO ALL CREW MEMBERS. PURSER WAS EXCELLENT. I DON'T THINK THERE WAS ANYTHING WE SHOULD HAVE DONE DIFFERENTLY. CALLBACK CONVERSATION WITH RPTR REVEALED THE FOLLOWING INFO: ANALYST MADE CALLBACK TO DETERMINE WHAT TYPE OF AIRBUS THIS INCIDENT TOOK PLACE ON BUT CREW MEMBER COULD NOT REMEMBER. RPT WAS CONCISE EXCEPT FOR THIS DETAIL.
