Sincerely, Your Flight Crew

Activity Summary

Whether you work in a critical access hospital or a high-acuity specialty intensive care unit, you probably see people walking around wearing onesies and wondered who they are, what they actually do and how it all works. Your flight crew is an extension of the care started at a critical access hospital, transitioning the critically sick or injured patient through the flight environment then landing in a specialty ICU. This interactive session discusses the elements your flight crew wants you to know to help your patient, led by a current flight nurse and a flight paramedic team.

Objectives

Outline the responsibilities of the flight crew and describe the evolving dynamics during critical care transport.
Identify at least three considerations and limitations that the flight crew encounters in the critical care transport setting.
Describe the components of the multidisciplinary approach to a critically sick or injured patient.
