Have you ever wondered what happens in case there's a medical emergency on a plane? Well, the flight attendants are given enough training to act as first responders if there's a medical emergency and they can perform the Heimlich maneuver or administer CPR. There are also first aid kits and planes that carry over 30 passengers have defibrillators as well. Also, the cabin crew asks if there's a doctor on board whenever there's an emergency. In case of a grave situation, a pilot can either land a plane or divert it, which usually takes around 15 minutes. However, it becomes more difficult if it is an overseas flight.
