Explain the procedure to be followed in post decompression?

Answer 1

1.EMERGENCY DECOMPRESSION Emergency decompression is a rapid loss in cabin pressure. It is unlikely that an involuntary loss of pressurization will occur, however, a decompression may follow some failure of the fuselage such as cracked window panes, malfunction to the aircraft pressurization system, window or door pressure leak or structural damage to the fuselage. Physiological Symptoms of a Decompression · Headache · Respiratory changes and difficulties · Excessive Sleepiness · Light headed or dizzy sensations · Blue coloring of skin, lips, fingernails · Indifference and a feeling of well-being · Fatigue · Deterioration of the senses · Personality changes · Unconsciousness Procedures to Follow During an Emergency Decompression · All Flight Attendants should immediately take oxygen from the nearest 02 mask and secure themselves. · While proceeding to the nearest available mask, give commands "USE OXYGEN MASK", "NO SMOKING", "FASTEN SEAT BELT" · Remain seated until advised by the captain that oxygen is no longer required Turn cabin lights to bright. · Check and assist passengers. · Administer First Aid Oxygen as required · Do not repack aircraft oxygen masks after the masks have dropped. Oxygen masks must be repacked by qualified personnel · Customers should place the mask over their nose and mouth and breathe normally. They should continue wearing the mask until advised by the crew. · Once oxygen from the cabin emergency system is no longer required, customers requiring additional oxygen will be administered first aid from a POB. · Any time the 02 masks deploy, maintenance must repack them NOTE: Generation of the individual chemical units may cause a "burning" odor which may be easily mistaken for odors from a fire. In addition, the chemical canisters can become very hot. Caution should be taken to avoid touching any chemical generator.
