title: The role of trauma debriefing in occupational medicine at an airline.
abstract: Most airlines now have formally established Critical Incident Management Programs. The critical incident stress debriefing (CISD) is a tool designed to relieve and prevent event-related stress. The author focuses on the use of CISD to assist victims of  smaller  traumas, such as assault, bomb threats, and severe turbulence, and shares the results of an American Airlines  CIS program for flight attendants.
