Abstract

Aim: To estimate the frequency of medical interventions at passenger airports by calculating the ratio of the number of medical interventions per 100,000 passengers per year. Material and methods: The study was planned as a retrospective study based on historical data on medical interventions at airports in Poland. The five-year period from 2016-2020 was adopted as the research period. The research was based on questionnaires sent to the authorities of all airports in Poland. Results: The results were obtained only from 4 certified passenger airports in Poland (out of all 14 certified passengers airports in Poland). The rate of medical interventions was estimated. On the basis of data from 5 certified passenger airports in Poland, the method of providing medical care at airports was characterized in the article. Conclusions: The medical intervention ratio at Polish airports in 2016-2020 was 9.54 per 100,000 passengers per year. The COVID-19 epidemic has significantly increased the number of medical interventions at airports.
