What is the first response if an airmen has collapsed on the flightline?
Hopefully, the airman is not already in his plane in the flightline. The first response would be assessment and safety. If the airman has collapsed in a dangerous place (such as below a plane that is ready to become airborne), personnel would signal the pilot to not take off. Once the area was safe for others to enter, a quick assessment of the ABCs would be needed. Check Airway, breathing, circulation. Likely in a high-traffic (er, plane) area, the personnel would need to move the victim. If no one saw the airman collapse, spine precautions should be used. If the airman is not breathing, CPR would begin even before--and during--the move. If the airman is breathing at assessment, move him to a cool place, loosen clothing at the neck and waist. Use smelling salts if the ABC assessment is okay, or allow the person to "come around" on his own. The airman would need someone to stay with her and to continue assessment until the person has stabilized. Assessment should include looking for more obvious problems (examples: heat stroke on a hot day working under hot engines; a reaction to engine fumes or other chemicals; an incidence of low blood sugar; dehydration; etc.)
An airman has collapsed on the fligh-tline because of the heat and you suspect it may be heat stroke what must you do immediately?
If they are unconscious check the ABC's, Airway Breathing and Circulation. If those are acceptable then move the airman to a cool, shaded place. Loosen/remove all excess clothing (if need be, down to underwear). a cool wet towel or shirt can be put under the armpits or in the groin to help cool. In the military you would also give the airman a large bore IV (18 gauge works nicely) of normal saline. It is very important at this stage not to give anything for them to eat or drink, even if they wake up.
