operations procedure that the medical coordinator would have to implement in order<br />

to be able to control the medical situation in the accident site. This medical<br />

coordinator should be an airport medical personnel and he can designate as temporary<br />

coordinator one of the airport paramedics who can be on the site the soonest time<br />

possible.<br />

The Chiang Kai Shek Airport has not set any medical operation procedure for<br />

emergency incidents. However, the “Implementation Highlights of CKS Airport<br />

Aircraft Accident and Incident Handling Procedure” has designated personnel from<br />

the airport clinical department of Min Shen Hospital as medical coordinator. This<br />

medical coordinator should assign doctors, nurses, ambulances, to the accident site<br />

and establish an emergency injury examination center, coordinate command support<br />

agency (medical institutions belonging to the emergency medical rescue network of<br />

the Tao Yuan area), examine and categorize injuries, and send the injured to the<br />

appropriate hospitals.<br />

After the incident, the medical coordinator we interviewed said that he never read<br />

Incident Handling Procedure,” and has never received training on how to set up an<br />

emergency injury examination center, coordinate command support, send the injured<br />

to appropriate hospitals and other responsibilities.<br />

Looking at the “Implementation Highlights of CKS Airport Aircraft Accident and<br />

Incident Handling Procedure,” it does not designate one of the airport emergency<br />

personnel as temporary medical coordinator. Whoever the airport designates as the<br />

medical coordinator, any one of the participating medical personnel should be familiar<br />

with emergency medical procedures.<br />

department head briefed the tower to assign parking Bay 608 BAY ferry parking bay.<br />

Based on interviews with airline services personnel, at this stage, parking Bay 608<br />

was selected because the emergency personnel believe that the passenger was in dire<br />

need of emergency help and the other parking bays were already full; moreover,<br />
