    @TheDadace GCS is "to give a reliable and objective way of recording the *conscious state* of a person" [Wikipedia] It's not limited to brain injuries per se, but rather used in any case where the patient's conscience may be impeded: Brain/head injury? -> use GCS Small cut on hand? -> youre Brain, Lungs and heart are allright, no GCS needed [basically a GCS of 15] PS: What I was trying to say is: GCS is always usefull for Head/brain Injuries and ANY sufficiently bad injury or anytime a person is close to loosing conscience.

    It is extremely rare for young children to encounter a cardiac arrest, unless she had a severe infection before flying or some complex medical condition,the only other medical issues to cause this would be anaphylaxis (severe allergic reaction) or Airway obstruction (choking/asthma) which can quickly lead to respiratory arrest in children followed by cardiac arrest.

    Alan, children who have underlying cardiac issues, eg WPW, can get into a cardiac arrhythmia, especially when they get their heart rate up high, which is possible with all the excitement of getting onto a plane.

    not supposed to comfort anyone. there's no hospital in a plane, if you're aware of your child being vulnerable to such things you might want to rethink putting them on a plane that flies over the ocean. worst case something happens hours away from land, what kind of parent would take such a risk?

    One of if not the most heartbreaking moments in aviation history. My condolences go out to her family involved.

    Just wanna say that the flight crew on Air Canada 868 did a great job & tryin their best to land in time before she passed. Sometimes, we can’t do anything. I think what ever Flight 868 was, that plane should have the person’s name who died in her memory.
