Objective:
To analyze the opportunity and condition of aeromedical transportation in critically burn patients.
Methods:
Eighteen severely burn patients were operated by aeromedical transportation. Among them, four patients were transported in the shock stage and fourteen patients were transported after shock stage. Some aspects of treatment were introduced including escharectomy,clinical index, equipment of medicine, and so on. The transportation card and abstract of case file were recorded carefully before aeromedical transportation. When there were over 2 patients, those with more severe burns received the treatment in the priority.
Results:
Each aeromedical transportation airplane carried 1 to 6 cases, and flies 420 to 2 500 km for 1.5 to 3. 5 hours. The patients were safely arrived at destination. Except one died for multiple organ failure, others were cured during further treatment.
Conclusion:
Provide that the conditions were permissive and preparation were adequate, it is safe to carry out aeromedical transportation during shock stage.
